What type of lifting routine do you use? Right now I simply do 12 reps of a failry high weight (for my newbie muscles it's a strain!) and try to squeak out 3-4 sets. I've read that you should do something like 75-85-95% weight for each set? Should you lift for your total body every other day or alternate muscle groups each day? I was doing a whole body circuit M-W-F. Now I alternate
M- Upper body
T- Lower Body
W- Abs
Th - Upper body
F - Lower body
S - Abs
Then I throw in a day or two of cardio, usually on my ab days. I used to do 30-40 minutes of cardio 6 days/week. Now that I'm focusing more on weight training I cut down on the cardio. I will post a list of exercises that I currently do. I need some feedback as to how to improve. Thanks for all the great conversation!!
