	2004/02/24, 02:56 PM Are you able to complete the last set easily? If not increase weight. You may certainly add reps, sets and exercises if you feel the need. After a time I needed more of everything to challange my biceps. Usually, if you are upping the weights properly, the FT routines are adequate for most folks.. I also changeup routines more frequently than FT suggests. I may lify heavy with lower reps for 4 weeks and the do 2 or 3 weeks of lighter weight higher reps to keep my muscles guessing and confused. -------------- Some times life is like herding cats.

	2004/02/24, 03:10 PM Increase weight before adding sets and reps. Welcome to FT . -------------- Some times life is like herding cats. Charlie
