[QUOTE="ntense702, post: 3999809, member: 559630"] Very true. Along with that you need to have a goal every time you go in the gym to beat your PR's (personal records) and keep a log book to keep track of your sets and reps. For example, if you hit 3 sets of 5 reps with 200 lbs on your last workout, you need to shoot for 205 lbs this time, or if you aren't ready to add weight, go for an extra rep or two. Just be sure to make progress! Progress is also key. I have a friend that sticks with the same weight all the time in the gym, consequently he also sticks with the same weight on his body. If you feel your form is good I'd recommend an intensity of around 80% of your one rep max for your work sets. As far as sets and reps goes, there are no magic numbers just do what works for you. If you want to take supplements here's what I'd recommend: creatine, fish oils, multivitamin, dessicated liver, and amino acids. Anything else is a waste of money imo.
