This hurts just by looking at the video, but I will incorporate it into my workout tomorrow. I am training myself and helping another plate buddy in the gym from my chem class. I'll let you know what happens if I am able to write again after these nuclear chest and arms workout.

yes its a great beginner workout, ive gained 30 pounds so far and my bodyfat is still below 6 percent. its a mass and size workout so you cant be eating like a little girl while you do it, eat big to get big diet is most important , 6 meals a day with a high quality protein serving in each meal. but when you add this workout to a good diet plan its an unbeatable combination. i went from 120 to 150 and i plan to go to 180

I would have to disagree. This programs requires really heavy weights. If you don't have your joints and form on point, you WILL injure yourself. The only way to improve those is through repetition. I would recommend Shortcut to Size to get started. The workouts are broken down Barney style.

The question is a year old, but I strongly agree with tranimalmode - Shortcut to Size is a better program especially for a beginner. It covers all the bases for nutrition and supplements, and increases the weights slowly over several weeks, so you learn your own limits. I did this workout, then Shortcut & then Gethin's DTP. Conclusion: Shortcut was best overall by far, esp for beginner. Must disagree on the Barney comment though, unless Barney is a T-rex that will completely shred all the meat in your body.

I was wondering the same thing, I am guessing that it is 6 to 8 reps minimum or going until muscle failure.

It means that you choose a weight which which you will fail between 6-8 reps. So you should get 1-5 and reps 6-8 should be really hard/impossible

what does it mean by increase weight? does it just mean do half the weight for warm-up sets and then add enough weight to have 6-8 reps be failure? or does he mean something else?
