I have a friend of mine that is just getting into lifting and wants nothing but strength along with a little size. His other friends have him doing several sets of many diff. exercises. He told me his mind/schedule seem to wonder away after about 35 mins in the gym. I suggested he just go in for awhile and work with basically three one exercise workouts
Workout one
just bench
Workout two
squat
Workout three
dead (maybe rack deads) and pull downs (pull ups if he can do them)
I know that maybe one assistant exercise per workout should be added.
Lets say in theory he just did the one exercise per workout.
a few warm up sets and then three low rep/high load sets
He should see some good gains and growth off these for the first six months or so, would you not think?
His other friends are saying he would go no where without more exercises/ or time spent in the gym.
I already know that from my studies and experience this will hold true but showing him what others (outside his other friends) feel on it.
