MUSCLE BUILDING

But, even thow you are not targeting the muscle until the following week, you can be sure it is getting worked secondarily while doing other groups. Hope this makes sense. -------------- You can walk to anywhere you want, it only takes time. Ivan Montreal Canada (aka SpongeBob Square Pants to some!)

Realize that this is the only time this week that this particular muscle is going to get worked so really let that muscle have it. I continually keep this in mind during workouts to help keep me focused.

I have certian muscle groups I'm really trying to focus on.. and when I'm at the gym I have the hardest time saying "no" to my favorite machines. (shoulders, deltoid, bicep) I'll try to use more disipline. -------------- Dont wait! Procrastinate NOW! =)
