It's just some things to think about. By the way what kind of loads are you using for your weight training at this point?

Thats basically why i walk. Just to burn some extra calories while im eating like a horse trying to pack on muscle.

Im pretty weak and out of shape still, but im going rather heavy (for me) on most of the bigf lifts (bench press/pull ups) and a little less so for smaller muscles like arms. For forearms (palm up wrist curls ets) i like high reps (15-20 reps). I like to train close to (if not completely to) failure. For some reason i feel like im cheating if i stop early.

Ill do this for a month or so and then mix in a few new exercises and maybe use higher reps.

For example:
Bench Press..................3 sets 6,5,4 reps
Push ups......................2 sets 20 reps
Incline Laterals..............2 sets 9 reps
Military Press.................2 sets 7 reps
Close Grip Bench Press....2 sets 8,7 reps
Overhead Extension........2 sets 10 reps
Sit ups.........................2 sets 15 reps
The actual weights are irrelevant (for this, obviously they are relevant). As long as i do as many reps as i can (or close to it) and continue to add reps/weight to the exercise over time, im happy. I dont lift to be like a powerlifter, i couldnt care less how much i can bench. I just want to get in good shape. I also concentrate on form as opposed to how much i can lift. I keep track of all weights and reps per work out to ensure that im moving up in reps/weight regularly.
