I believe Tall is saying palms facing towards you on pull-ups and toward the ceiling on rows

stiff leg dead lift.

Will start this, tomorrow.

Just back from the push day, ending up doing narrow grip bench instead of dips, but by the time I got to them I was hammered!

Ended up doing 4 sets of 8 to finish me off, but will increase the weight next time for 3 sets of 8.

Sorry for sounding dubious about the lack of exercises, had this finished after 40 minutes and my triceps were pounding when I left.

Looking forward to doing the other days now.

3 Sets of 20 Reps on Deads, Chins Squats is too much IMHO.

Don't get me wrong - it has its place, as does all high rep work.

Try 5x5 (5sets, 5reps), and look to increase the weight each week.

Oh and don't forget to add in flexability work, core work and cardio

Fenton · 09-03-2008, 06:47 PM

Ok thanks, wasn't too sure about the 3 sets of 20, will do 5 x 5 on those.

Again I am a a rookie and I will have to look up flexibility and core work.
