If you're increasing in either reps or weight then you're not overtraining, however if you are remaining static then you ARE overtraining!

Translation: "Please don't talk about something which I don't want to hear about." It's my country which has been attacked and I'll talk about whatever the hell I want, you ignorant fool.

This is all because the British army helped the US invade and occupy Iraq. Don't forget that!

I'd say the main sickness of bbing is looking at your biceps every 5 mins to see if they've grown :)

No it means someone slipped a viagra pill into your shake :D

Personally I think you're doing a few to many exercises.

Are you lifting more weight each time you go?

Each to their own bro...

There are some good points - mainly concerning using less frequency/volume if you are a hardgainer, but really it's just what iron addict has said a million times before.

Edit:...

There is no ideal set number...ppl respond to different amounts of volume - if you are a really hard gainer then less volume and visa-versa for a person which recovers easily. If you make progress...

Wed-nes-day.

On topic: I like the look of it!

Well I suggest that you find someone to show you how to do them properly or just don't do them at all! Better safe than sorry.

As long as you're regularly increasing the weights lifted, then who cares if you are sore or not?

Here is a programme I have put together through looking at various sites esp FrankieNY's popular routine

DAY 1 PULL

Deadlifts 5x5
Lateral pulldowns 5x5
Barbell curls 3x8

DAY 2 PUSH

I'm wondering how it is that a power lifter can look fairly ordinary compared with a bodybuilder, but is able to lift a much larger weight. Is it the number of reps/sets they do and/or their diet? ...

That is the dumbest thing...so simple...in fact there is no intelligence behind it, just a stupid trick.

Lots of great advice - thanks very much!
I've repped all of you as much as I can.

I don't think the programme is THAT bad since I keep getting stronger in all areas...But i'd be happy to change it after some clarification.

I just checked out the bb.com list of exercises and I found http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.php?Name=Barbell+Deadlift and it says that the exercise works these muscles:

Main Muscle...

Thanks for the suggestions! I have a question though...and that is, what kind of deadlift should I do? Which one is the most important/core?
Thanks
