Break your workouts over 3 or 4 days per week. Stretch before and after exercising. Start with light weight, using proper form. Keep a journal and gradually increase your poundages. Do at least 4 sets per exercise, 8-12 reps per set. Make sure you use a full range of motion. Eat good quality food, take your supplements and get plenty of rest. Anthony.
