bro, i've been lifting for 2 years now... when i started out, i had no idea there were bodybuilding websites... the second bb wesite i found was this, and even then, i didnt post till a short while ago... thats coz i was still fooling around...
so i did full body's EVERY day, then the classic 6, 5, 4 days splits, etc etc... in short, i've done my "fooling around"...
i know, i know, i'm still "fooling around" because i'm not on any routine for a long while... but trutfully, i've learnt a lot, and i'm glad i have... thanks to you guys
this program is gonna help me, i'm 100% sure... i know i have kept the volume high, but once i really start rolling and my lifts start increasing, i will but naturally reduce the volume...
as eric said, and i agree with him becasue i just realized the same thing:

yes, but right now, i'm not "settled" well into this program... as soon as my strength increases (in 4-5 days i hope), i'll reduce the sets + the instensity because i plan on lifting like a madman very soon.. but till then, i have to try and recover what i've lost...
