just in case someone is interested, there\'s 3 kinds of programs:
1 muscle building, heavy weights, short reps, to muscle failure
2 muscle definition, lighter weights, long reps, just short of muscle fatigue
3. fat reduction, cardio all the way + nutrition
most people combine programs, 2 by 2, even all 3 at a time. |
