QUOTE(mikehuan @ Oct 1 2011, 08:47 PM) Agreed. And I think endurance is the wrong word here. Lifting weights for strength and muscle mass I understand, but endurance? If I wanted endurance I'll start running marathons. Nah, endurance is the word. Muscle endurance. Running a marathon requires cardiovascular endurance. Your legs, are endurance muscle. It's about how many times you can do a motion repeatedly; endurance. Try curling 50 times.

QUOTE(janson_kaniaz @ Oct 1 2011, 09:18 PM) today i tried it for the 1st time for arms. man, not managed to even get close to the required number of reps. empty ez-bar felt like weighted after 20-odd reps lol. guess it takes time... go hit legs with it, leg press or leg ext/leg curl. try chest/back too. lol

QUOTE(janson_kaniaz @ Oct 1 2011, 09:34 PM) for now, i just try for fun to get away from normal routine. it saves time too since only one/two exercises involved. but man, the volume... Go ahead and try it. You're gonna be miserable doing it, but you're gonna be extremely satisfied when you get to the other side

QUOTE(KeithJohnson @ Oct 1 2011, 09:43 PM) yeah i kinda need help on this i considered dropping something from back day and move deadlift to back day in order to have squates in leg day(since deadlift and squats are not meant to be on the same day, so i can have the benchpress,deadlift,squats combo but in dumbell version i just want to ask. if this workout is suitable for me or not? do i have too little or too much sets/reps? i take rest about 1 minute between sets aiming for clean muscular look. nothing big or bulky. lean mostly. i have considered bulking up by doing reps of 6-8 until i get the size i want before reverting to 12 reps, any pros can help me look into this?also if i were to train legs the way i train them now, i want to keep lean including legs.probably the only things i like big is chest and lats you sure you read the stickies?

QUOTE(KeithJohnson @ Oct 1 2011, 10:18 PM) yeah but some routine has like 24-30 sets for each body part wheres some routines only has 4-6 sets total for each body part i am so blur about this haha. also i noe the big 3 compound exercises. Are u not accessible to barbells? Why the need to do everything using dumb bells? Stick between 8 - 12 reps, 3 sets each exercise and 1-2 minutes of rest time. Do your cardio, and eat right and MAYBE you'll build a decent body, even if you intend to, you won't get buff that easily. And read the stickies again, you probably just glanced through them , looking from how you posted This post has been edited by razorboy: Oct 1 2011, 10:25 PM

QUOTE(mikehuan @ Oct 2 2011, 11:35 PM) okay, muscle endurance then, but the thing is, im lifting weights to get bigger and stronger, lol. doesnt really matter if i can squat or curl 50 times, its not gonna show in the physique right? fast twitch , slow twitch muscle fibres.
