  • If you can easily do 16 reps then the problem is, you not going heavy enough. Try to keep it in the 8 - 12 rep range. If you can't maintain proper form then you going too heavy. Find that sweet spot and work your way up from there.

  • I honestly think you would be better of with adding a 3rd day if possible. That's a lot of muscle groups to hit in just 2 days. I'm currently doing a 3 day split Monday= chest/tris Wed= back/biceps & Fri= shoulders/legs you can toss abs in what ever day of the week fits you.

  • First I would suggest looking up on youtube or google for body-weight exercises. There are plenty of exercises you can do to get in shape that don't involve weights or expensive equipment.

  • I find it odd almost everyone bad mouths the smith machine. It's great for someone starting out or doing squats and bench pressing. The machine allows the person to keep a lined form and work the actual muscles needed for the exercise. With natural free weights you are limited to squatting in just one position while the…
