I dunno if it's true or not, but I read one time that one of the reasons Franco Columbu had the wing like lats that he had was because of his deadlifts. I think he probably did a lot of chin-ups though.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Okay I guess I didn't word my question well enough. I am more worried about rep ranges when working the same bodypart more than once a week. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger and alot of the old bodybuilders advocate working each body part two to three times a week. So using Arnold's beginner six day a...

There is something I am confused about when it comes to training a bodypart more than once a week. I've kind of read this in books, even though the authors haven't ever been that clear about it. I've also seen routines that confirm my thinking. Anyways my question is if you're training a...

thank you everybody for the help. sugar plum what would be an ideal goal to set for a 3 rep max on those routines. i am not sure how much weight to go over. The only thing I dont like about a lot of those routines is thay will have board presses in there, and I am not too sure about doing those.

could u please explain what the difference in the two would be? i thought bodybuilders did a lot more higer reps with lighter weigths. what would i gain over one compared to the other? sorry for such basic questions.

lol umm i dunno i am kinda lost here. i am not trying to compete or anything just looking to build some strength. i wanna be stronger but still be defined. sorry for being a little lost. i just thought powerlifting was supposed to be a great way to build up strength.

Thank you I just printed those articles and I am going to start reading them now.

I've only been lifting since February of this year, and just within the last month or so I've really been working on building my strength. I've really had a couple of boosts in some areas, but other areas I feel like I still have a long ways to go. Basically what I've been doing is switching my...
