Kilika,
That looks like a perfectly balanced routine. But if i were going in to 50ies I would have spent some time swimming instead of cycling.

Question:
What is the difference between "Sets" and "Reps" and why are they different?
Let's say for example, I'm supposed to do 3 sets of squats, 10 reps for each set.
What's the difference if I do 2 sets of 15 reps or just do all 30 straight out?
In the end I'm doing the same amount of exercise, just not taking breaks between them.
And what's the point of the break? What if I'm not tired and want to continue?

Combinations
Hi i'm about to start i new 3 day program i have designed and got a bit stuck with what muscle groups i should put together e.g
chect + triceps or chest + back
Back + biceps or Back + Chest
I have designed my program as
day 1 - Shoulders + Legs
day 2 - chest + Triceps
day 3 - Back + Biceps
and abbs at the end of each day.
If you could put some of your knowledge this way it would be very helpfull thank you

There's nothing terrible about the split you described, provided you allow rest days in between workouts. You workout shoulders on Day 1, but remember that shoulders also get hit on Chest day. If you do Chest the day after shoulders, you don't give them enough rest. etc.
Rather than design your own program, I would suggest you go with an established, proven routine. Here are some good links:

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=115643271
If you are set on going with a 3-day split then I'd suggest a Push, Pull, Legs split might be a bit better:
Push: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Pull: Back, Traps, Biceps
Legs: Quads, Hamstrings, Calves☠ By reading this post, you have agreed to my negative reputation terms of service.

Excellent post.
This is exactly what I have been looking for!!
I have only started working out 4 weeks ago.
Slowly getting the diet better and doing half hour to an hour of cardio 7 nights a week, with some assisted pullups, assisted dips and barbell curls thrown in every 2nd night.
This will be a great help to form a plan.

Great post. However, I'm still kind of confused about training to failure.
Question: Will I gain more strength with "forced" reps, reps that i can handle,
or a mixture of both?
Example: Bench Press-I was benching with my football team and I usually
get forced reps somewhere about halfway through my set. I saw one of my
friends that just started working out doing the same weight as me and I was
always stronger than him by far. I know for a fact the spotter was helping
him greatly and his previous set he nearly cracked his chest because it was so
heavy, yet he went heavier his next set. So, would training with weight you can barely handle get you stronger cause that is what he did and I'm getting a feeling
he got a lot stronger since he started.Last edited by footballteen44; 04-20-2010 at 06:17 PM. Reason: Mispelled Word

Stronger than when he started? I would hope so. That is one of the side effects of working out. How long ago did he start? How hard has he been pushing himself?
However, I'm guessing he went heavier to satisfy his own ego. Forced reps are better served in seeking hypertrophy, not strength IMO.-
