| I don't do free weights...I got hurt when I was young and I never picked up a weight again...For a long time I did circuits on nautilus, but for about the past 8 years, I have just worked out in the garage on a bowflex...
The machine actually comes with a fairly good workout routine from day to day...I do 3 sets of each exercise..to failure..usually 8 or 9 reps..If I reach 10 reps, I add weight...from exercise to exercise with no rest between..and I work the large groups first...stress on the large muscles starts your motor and prepares the smaller groups for the remainder of the workout...it is the large groups that power the metabolism..
and form is everything...s l o w....thats the ticket..but it really all comes down to genetics...
