[QUOTE="Saul, post: 111373, member: 16541"] Depends on the person and age. I spend about 10 minutes of cardio on a machine that works upper and lower body and I stretch during this time also, Then I stretch shoulders / chest with a bar and other stretches. Then start light. I estimate I start my lifts with 1/2 of my max weight during the sets. So if my final set of about 8 reps is using 60 lbs, I start with 30 lbs. Some lifts I start with no weight. Nothing delays gains like an injury. One final thing, IMO counting reps is fine, but is unrelated to gains. Don't get hung up on the numbers. Focus on working until you can't do any more, to failure. Whether it takes 4 reps to get there or 14 is less important. I focus around 8 reps per set but I may fatigue to failure after 6 or may take 12 reps. Every day is different. [/QUOTE]
