Right now, my right bicep is really sore. Yesterday I went to the gym and someone there explained a workout that I should do. I will probably try to go 4 days a week, and the days are split up like this:
1) Chest and Biceps
2) Back and Triceps
3) Legs
4) I don't really remember but I think traps was part. Maybe shoulders, too. I need him to write it down today.
Also, instead of three sets of 12, 10, then 8, this guy suggested 5 sets of twelve. Yes, I was hurting. Hopefully, though, it will be good. Additionally, with that many reps, it seems pretty endurance-focused to me, which is what I want. Incidentally, abs are every day.
I think the reason my right bicep is so sore is because of the fact that I have it raised all day as I am writing on the chalkboard (yes, chalk). Hopefully I will be able to become accustomed to doing both lifting and writing, but it will probably be a while yet because next week I will get to take a break from all this and return home (meaning...same difference). I am very excited about this and very ready. It will be wonderful to see my family, friends, and beautiful girlfriend again. A couple things I am excited about: Ultimate, Spring Sing (sorry Luke and Bland. At least I put it after ultimate, right?), and March Madness (as well as other athletic competitions).

I'm so excited about you coming HOME... I'm all smiles. I love you!
5 sets of 12! geez Whit... thats crazy.
Does "this guy" know what he is talking about... are you doing these sets for a reason?
Have fun!
(i recommend no more than 3 sets, but thats just my opinion... it does depend on your goal though)
Nicole,
I completely agree.
bland,
At this gym, the trainers always suggest five sets. The guy (humberto) was just following the distructions of the instructors. I am no expert, but the alternating exercises reminds me of the little I have heard about the 300 workouts, though I have no idea if that is where the theory comes from. I do like endurance much more than bulk, and five sets seems to me as if it is angled toward endurance.
