I don't know about you but I have a life outside bodybuilding I have to get on with too.
I train at 6 in the morning, and have to be out of the gym by 6.45, so my workouts have to be quick, effective and intense. Intensity being the word here.

I'll give you an example of a typical leg workout.
Calves. 1 set with the stack, 25 to 30 reps failure.
1 set stack and my partner hanging off the back, 6-10 reps. He jumps off, further 10ish to failure, drop the weight by about 1/3rd, rep to failure.
Leg Curls. 1 set moderate weight, aim for 25 reps to failure.
1 set triple drop, using a starting weight that will stop me around the 6-8 reps, drop around 20% and go again to failure, drop again and again go to failure.
Leg extensions. Ditto leg curl rep regime.
Leg Press. Now your calves, hams and quads are already pre exhausted, so this is the real killer.
1 x moderate weight, enough to stop you around the 25 rep mark. I do these non lock out style, keep the tension on all the way through the set. I keep my feet high on the board and push through the heel rather than the sole of the foot, it seems to keep the stress off my knees far better.
1 x triple drop set, use max weight for 6-10ish reps, if you can do more than 10 at this stage the weight is too light. Drop by around 20% and repeat and final drop by about the same %age and finish the set off!
Its not many sets, but if you go to failure on every set, and I mean every set including what is essentially the warm up sets it really works.

This is the principal I use for most of my workouts, short, sharpe, painful but satisfyingly good!

It is not for every one, and I do change my workouts to doing just basics periodically, like I'll just squat for legs, or just deadlift and maybe chins for back.
Mix and match, chop and change. I do not repeat the order I do my excercises every week. Sometimes I'll leg press first, then do the ancillary bits and pieces. Variation is good for muscle growth stimulation, so long as the intensity is high and all other key factors, nutrtion, rest etc are in place growth WILL occur.

Oh yep, it most certainly is!! Up to 122 kilo from 115 a month ago. Condition ok and remained consistant, abs visible.
Being on the chemical trail 2 weeks now. I have had a stomach bug, which has prevented me from eating as I should, but the BSN products have certainly helped make up the shortfall and they haven't upset my stomach either.
So am I pleased, most certainly!
How is your progress??
