Little about myself. I'm 6'3 bout 210 lbs. Truthfully, I haven't even seen the inside of a gym in about five years. I have finally quit smoking, and am very eager to begin weight training again. Just about to hit forty and I am very much into working out again. The very last routine I had going consisted of.....day1..chest, biceps...benchpress, peckdeck, then bicep curls. day2..back..pulldowns, then rowing. day3/4 rest. day5..shoulders..military press..dumbell press and lat extensions. day6..legs..squats..45 degree press and seated calf extensions.day7 rest.

All exercises except legs consisted of 1x8 1x6 1x4 reps. Leg reps were 1x12 1x10 1x8. All sets to failure. All workouts had 10 min bike warmup and 15 min cooldown. Also each workout included 3x25 crunches. I guess this a bulking up program and wondering if it is good to start off with again. Also at 40 should I expect signifigantly less results than at 25? All advice welcomed.
