One is you will get overtrained in about a week, two you will get hurt. What website was this? -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk!

It can be used very effectively to increase the amount of volume or intensity (through increased tbs). However, I think your workout is crap. What the hell is a press up? Why are you working out 6 days a week? Why are you doing total body workouts and then doing an extra 3 workouts? Why would you do anything, any exercise for that matter, 6X a week? I would never recommend training more than 1X a day to anyone other than an experianced lifter, and each of these workouts would be under 45 minutes long. Also, I would not exceed a total of 6 workouts per week for most people. -------------- Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.

In no way should a regualr lifter try that work out on their own. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk! The Men and Boys are Separated by one thing: The Squat Cage! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
