Lighter weights more reps for toning up and heavier weights less reps for more strength and increase size. Four times a week is as much as you should really do as the body only grows if it is given enough time to repair, exercise breaks down the muscles.
Nice to see someone that knows how to train...
Personally I did 2 on 1 off going heavy light, heavy light to allow for recovery..weekend off unless got a change up in the week - when I might go on a
Used to do Legs and Triceps...then next day Chest and Biceps..rest day
Then do Back and Traps....and shoulders and Abs...2 days rest
Plus I would do some isolation with lower weight and do the rep very very slowly....especially on biceps and triceps...my arms would burn like hell after....but boy do you get results than using inertia and momentum to swing the weight
tended to do quick burst on the bike for about 5 mins to warm up and get blood flowing, not doing too much to avoid pre-exhaust..
But tended to do 10-20 mins warm down on the bike to slow down and decrease the detriment of lactic acid build up....
