QUOTE(T+1 @ Aug 19 2006, 11:13 PM) before u tone ur muscle, u must have good amount of muscle mass first. Ok i will try my best....well i got alot of ppl saying if i go gym i will look great cos they say i got the body. So i will give it a try k . Thx alot.if u don't have muscle, then u should do lower reps with heavy weight. common belief is that higher reps with lighter weight is good for toning up muscle. however every individual is different, it may not work for u. so i think the best way is to experience urself. see how ur body response to the workout... copied from the book "Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle" Strength/Power 1 – 5 reps Hypertrophy (size) & some strength 6 - 12 reps Local endurance/ little size 12-20 reps Abs & Calves 10-25 reps regarding sets, general rule is 3 sets per exercise (not including the warm up sets). BFFM set guidelines Advanced: Large muscle groups: 9 -12 sets per body part Small muscle groups: 6 - 9 sets per body part Intermediate: Large muscle groups: 6 - 8 sets per body part Small muscle groups: 5 - 6 sets per body part |
