DIY training program

EMUBOY Posts: 34 Joined: 2003/07/27	2003/11/26, 01:05 PM After finishing my next FT.com training program I'm seriously considering devising my own.Can anybody give me some advice on how to break up the training week so I don't overwork a certain muscle group.Plus if the goal is still muscle mass should I still go for lifting heavier for less reps??? Thanks!!!
