NOTES
1. Each workout should last no longer
than 1 hour.
2. Take no more than 2 minutes rest
between sets.
3. Always try for more weight or reps
but NEVER sacrificing good form in
your exercises.
4. Keep a training journal, this way you
can keep track of your gains in
strength.
5. When you train don't just try to lift
the weight, try to feel how the muscles
work as well - this will increase the
intensity. Remember bodybuilding is
about making the muscle work as hard
as possible, not lifting as much weight
as possible these are two different
things.
