has anyone said the following:
1) work different muscle groups on different days - some basic anatomy knowledge is useful so you know which major groups you should be working
eg. an example weekly cycle might be
Monday biceps and back
Wednesday chest and triceps
Friday legs
a lot of beginners think that working every day will make for quick gains ... don't do this!
2) I sometimes want to push myself just a little harder, so I do my last set (theoretically to failure) then knock off a few weights and do another set ... shows you that you are not usually 100% dead at the end ...
it does sound like you've done research already, some trial and error will be needed to work out what weights work for you ... also different people find different patterns and sets / reps work for them ...
hope it goes well dude
