So simple, no leg work I know, but for my current goals that's not needed. I also have other reasons why I can't for the time and I don't feel like getting into it. I want upper body mass, especially on my arms. The last set of every exercise is taken to failure. Weights have progressed upwards pretty steadily the past month now, and I've been eating good. Is this too much work for the biceps/triceps, or will they grow from this? I figured the frequency is close to that of HST, and I don't feel burnt out at all right now.

haha I see you didnt try the routine I gave you for long.

Got a lot going on now, the sessions were taking me too long so I couldn't stick to it for the time being. I need to get in and out quick, and this was letting me do that.

45 mins is too long? If you shorten the rest you should be able to complete each day within 45 mins an hour at most. As with any routine, it only works if you stick with it.

Any input?
