Like on back day day is has me doing two exercise and 2 exercises of bicpes. I'm used to doing like 3-4 exercises on back and 3 on biceps. Guess this will shock the body hopefully i'll see some good gains. Does this program add more exercises the further you get into it? Never tried this program before heard nothing but good things so i'm excited to start on Monday.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/10/02, 01:08 PM I like a regimine of 2 exercises for width, and 2 for thickness, and one for lower back exclusively. Vary the types of exercises you use for each, and you will see results. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

pimple Posts: 490 Joined: 2003/07/08	2004/10/02, 10:28 PM you could do that, but i'd say you just hang in there, justin... by the time you get to week 8 (at most), you'll be wishing you could get rid of some of the exercises in the program =P heh, really, though, let the program pick up the pace and you'll probably be passing out after each session, and having chronic seizures in the locker room... o_O just let time do its magic... -------------- The following sentence is true. The previous sentence is false.
