    My buddy and I go to the gym on Tuesdays and Fridays, my workout takes about 30 minutes, 40 including warmup run and stretch. I do a full body routine (squats, bench, deadlift, preacher curls, mill. press etc). I do only one set of each with 8-12 reps depending on the exercise, but I do each workout until complete failure. For example, if I'm doing squats, I lift the amount that on the 9th or 10th rep when I go down for another, I litteraly cannot finish the lift. This is why it's good to have a friend go with you that's about your size so he can help you get the bar up (that sounded pretty homoerotic didn't it?).

    It's called HIT training, it's a tried and true method that has worked for me so far. I've put on 5 pounds on my bench and squat a week so far and I've been lifting for 6 weeks straight with this method. I've gained 10 pounds so far (but I actually look more slim than I did last year at this time)! Sundays and Mondays I go for a run, which usually goes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how I feel.

    I haven't been in this great of shape since my senior year of highschool track, I'm absolutely loving it!

      Going to failure on each set will get your nervous system overtrained. Also it reduces testosterone levels! (I guess that's why you got married? )

        does anyone read?

        I said I am doing arms, I just don't need any one of you to tell me good workouts for it, cause I already know them.

        Thats why i asked for WORKOUTS for legs and abs

        All good things must come to an end.

            Haha, I wish I could blame marriage on that, but I only started this training 6 weeks ago

            It's quite a bit easier to overtrain when you're lifting to failure yes, but there's NO reason it has to happen if you workout correctly and in a small enough timeframe.
