NOTES
1. Each workout should last no longer than 1½- 2 hours.
2. Take no more than 2 minutes rest between sets.
3. Always try for more weight or reps but NEVER sacrificing good form in your exercises.
4. Don't do to many forced reps (if any); it will burn you out.
5. Keep a training journal, this way you can keep track of your gains in strength.
6. If you can find a training partner that would be great. It's much more fun to train and you get more motivated.
7. When you train don't just try to lift the weight, try to feel how the muscles work as well - this will increase the intensity. Remember bodybuilding is about making the muscle work as hard as possible, not lifting as much weight as possible syntherol these are two different things.
I hope you can use my advice, and I wish you the best of luck in your bodybuilding adventure.
