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.
