Christ, i tend to overtrain slightly at times, but 3 hours!, id waste away.
I also think 2 sets only isnt going to give your muscles a hard enougth workout or pump regardless of the routine.Id do at least 3 sets depending on if your doing a full body or a split, if your doing a split where you train each muscle once a week then do more sets in a session as they will have more time to recuperate, if doing a full body workout like me 3 times a week then 3 sets will be enougth but i go to positive failure on theese.
A lot of people seem to like pyrimiding, ive never tried it so i shouldnt really comment but i will.To me it seems your just wasting your first sets and using them just as a good warm up and only really pushing your muscles on the last sets im a bieliever that the last thew reps add the size and force the muscles to grow and if your stopping when it gets difficult on your first sets which must be the case or you couldnt up the weight then your not puting enougth strain on the muscles.However everyone enjoys different ways of training, i like the idea of lowering the weights as you go through the sets it may be a mental thing as well as physical so on every set from 1st to the last you are giving it all but pyrimiding i think is safer in preventing injury for obvious reasons and if you havnt got faith in your routine your not going to put all into it.glenco i started of using garys routine and its a good one ive only recently changed it a little, go on try it you might like it.
All the best glenco keep us updated on how you get on m8 |
