I have actually been working out for several years, and have a shape I'm...

HI Thanks for that advice. I'll look at it a bit closer. Why low or high reps? Is it the medium range (8-12) that is considered optimum for muscle gain.

Cheers

Goals:
I'm looking to get a muscular, toned look.
Also, 50 press ups (I'm on 48); 20 Chin ups (I'm on 8) and 10 Pull ups (I'm on 5)
