Thanks.

After you finish this program, change things up with a different one, such as more frequency. This is the biggest key, change. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Frequency and rep scheme are some of the variables you can manipulate to get further results and avoid plateaus. maybe the instructor at the gym has never had good results from such a protocol, but that doesn't mean he can generalize and say it won't work for anyone. This type of split is what got me into shape. -------------- "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Marcel Proust
