Simple Success

[future]

1. Write down your training

2. Do enough warm ups for your body...DO NOT GET FATIGUED FROM THEM!

3. Do work sets until failure

4. Have a good PWO meal of proteins and carbs

5. Get in fiber daily

6. Sleep soundly. Add in GABA before bed for deep sleep and gh release.

Thats a good start guys. Obviously lots of wiggle room in reps, schemes, bodyparts, intensity levels.

My working sets are always until faliure, its all about intensity intensity. Anyone could go through the montions of lifting, but it wont take you to the next level.

I agree with almost everything except the part where you say you got to train until failure. I see alot of people making good strength gains without training to failure. It depends what your goals are though

failure could be at 3 reps, 7 reps, 20 reps. it really depends on the person and the routine.

A good one to add is do mostly compound exercises. I don't see a purpose in replacing the squat with - leg extension, leg curl, adductor/abductor machine, hyperextension back thing, etc. like I see most people in the gym do. I believe people should do the accessory work for a reason...to bring up a lagging body part whether it be for strength/size/symmetry/whatever.
