Only 12 weeks to get needed results

I am a 25yo guy, in decent shape, nothing to write home about though. I just joined FT, and went and filled out the profile. I have 12 weeks till my wedding, and my goal, and a wedding present to my wife to be, is to have a cut body by then. My lower body is in great shape, i used to row and still have the muscle and definition there; the upper body is my needed focus. I want to have bigger arms, more defined abs, and bigger pecks. I picked a routine to "increase muscle mass" and the ab and chest options. Will this routine that came back really work in 8-12 weeks, as it says, if i control my diet? -------------- \"To improve the oarsman you must improve the man.\" -- Steve Fairbairn
	2006/04/10, 05:27 AM Not to ruin your parade...but big changes take time...and 8-12 weeks is very little...you'll also likely gain endurance/strength before visible changes in the body.... My suggestion is to lift heavy weight for low reps and to use big freeweight compound exercises....and to slowly cut calories or maintain them....making sure all calories are well balanced, come from nutritious food sources, and eaten at equal intervals many times a day. Try 3 sets of 3 reps.....use at least 1-2 warm up sets....use weight for working sets that allows you to complete the 3 reps with 0-2 reps left in the tank.... Use extra weight for sit ups or twists if you can do more than the 3 reps....or increase difficulty of the exercise....using decline bench....
