[QUOTE="FeelingLost, post: 96900, member: 15131"] Hi T Dawg and Mtn Man, Thank you both for your tips and ideas. MtnMan ever since you and I first spoke about bands I purchased a small set and use them to warm up with typically 2 sets of 25-50 reps. I have not been able to use bands exclusively I really enjoy the free weights and machines my local gym offers weight size ego. T Dawg, I hear you and being 64 I worry more about injury than how quick I can grow. I am not sure what the standard is for high reps most of my exersizes after band warm ups consist of 4 set 16 reps. I choose my weight by experimenting. The last 3-4 reps of each set burns. The last set of 4 is to failure even if that is more than 16 reps. When that happens I usually know I can increase the weight ever so slightly the next time. I will work a muscle group 4 times with different body weight exersizes/machines/free weights. So 4 sets 16 reps 4 times. Then rest that muscle group 3-4 days. The only muscle group I workout different is abs and obliques. All of them are reps between 25-100 per set with 4 sets. [/QUOTE]
