try Vince Gironda's 8 * 8 honest workout. You get a weight you can do for 8 sets of 8 reps. You take only 15 sec intervals between sets and do the workout as fast as you can. Do this for three exercises per body part. It is susposed to help you look fuller. You have a high intensity workout because you just keep lifting out reps.

I did this for legs last week and I still can't walk. It was the most grueling training session I had ever had. After the third or fourth set you don't think you can go on, but somehow you find a way. I had never felt a burn that intense in my training days.

Some believe you shouldnt do more than 5 reps, with that in mind here is something I have been doing lately.

2 sets at 90% 1rep max with a taget of 5 reps, 3-5 minute rest between sets. This will concentrat on CNS (ie strength) development. After the initial 2 sets drop weight to 80% 1 rep max and do 5 reps, rest 30-90 seconds (I usually go 30 seconds) and repeat this until you cant get 5 reps with a given exercise at that point your done.

I've been doing 8 sets of 8 lately, and it works wonders. you do one set of 8 reps on a given exersize, wait 20 secs and do another 8 reps, then keep doing that till you get 8 sets in. i use two exersizes for biceps/delts/tri's, and 3 exersizes for chest/back/quads. that shit burns like a mofo, and i am actually sore the next day almost every time. which is tough to do with over 10 years training under your belt. anyone ever use this method?

edit...lol....i did not see the gironda 8 sets of 8 reply for some unknown reason. anyway, one more vote for 8 sets of 8 i guess.

Let me also ask you guys. How many exercises do you usually do per exercise?I'm just curious because I always here different opinions on this.

I am kind of stuck in the same rut as you. I generally do 1 bodypart per workout and usually 4-5 exercises for each. Chest workout I get anywhere from 18-23 sets.
