Strength gains

[OptimusWolf]

Thanks guys, some really good info on this thread, much appreciated. I am pretty new to lifting in a structured way, although I've got a pretty strong core and legs from years of playing football and rugby (not Man Utd level unfortunately). I think I'll spend 3 months on the 2*15, mixing in some exercises I see on here and in the books you've referred me too. i'll also throw in pull ups, chin ups and some dips as I like callisthenics(sp?).

Tbh I shouldn't gain much bulk doing 30-40 mins of cardio 7 days a week, but it would be my nightmare to get to a stage where my reactions and speed round the football pitch was sacrificed to lift a heavier suitcase....

see, this is the kind of info i hear that confuses me and keeps me from lifting weights, cuz the next guy is gonna say medium weight with high reps is gonna add muscle....

No reason to be confused because you are holding the long end of the stick.
