The more important questions would be things like "what other compound moves should I be doing?" and "how should i configure sets, reps, and rest periods?" -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Mortal by birth.

	2007/10/03, 05:53 AM steve 10$ OP did not know what panacea meant...lol doesnt matter look up following lifts ...learn proper form...and do them: DEADLIFTS(ZERCHER, SLDSL, SUMO, DIMEL, ROMANIAN) SQUATS(ZERCHER, POWER, OLYMPIC, FRONT, OVERHEAD) OVERHEAD PRESSES(JERKS, MILITARY PRESSES, PUSH PRESSES, SIDE PRESSES, BENT PRESSES) WEIGHTED CHINS UPS/PULL UPS WEIGHTED DIPS GOOD MORNINGS BENT OVER ROWS/DYNAMIC ROWS CLEANS(POWER, FULL, HANG) SNATCHES(POWER, HANG, FULL) BENCH start doing these lifts for reps of 5-8 and learn good form...then as you mature lower the reps and use more weight....or use lighter % of your maxes for low reps for a few years than bump up the % as you become older....
