PRIEST'S SERMON

Even as a teenager, Lee Priest utilized high-volume workouts. Performing 20 or more high-intensity sets per bodypart may lead to overtraining, but even if his First Mass Program (see chart) isn't right for you, here's how you can follow the Priestly path.

* Instinctive Training Priest monitors his physique before and during each workout and uses only those exercises and techniques that work best for him on that particular day.

* Variety Priest regularly alters his exercises, the order of exercises and his training sprit.

* Heavy Basics The one constant in Priest's training has been his dependence on free-weight basic lifts and the fact that virtually every set is heavy (six to eight reps).

* Helping Hands Priest has always benefited from training partners to assist with forced reps and encouragement.

If looking to gain mass, first make sure your taking in enough calories.

yeah, what he said. your diet will be the the ultimate variable to whether you gain weight or not. just make sure your eating over your maintenence calories. the work out looks alright to me

if u want to gain mass... there are much better ways than to use isolation excercises for every muscle group.

bench, row, squat. thats every muscle in your body in three lifts. i guarentee you will add a LOT more mass with just these three.
