ok i go to the gym everyday... and obviously im doing split workout.... so today i noticed that for me increasing the intensity for my upper body is very difficult

i usually do 3 sets of 12 reps
today i tried:
peg fly
dumb bell curl
latpull down
tricep kick back

i am having difficulties on all of em except for tricepkick back

so what shud i do? i really wanna increase the intensity as it makes me feel better everytime i increased the weight

less reps more sets??

There are at least 10 things wrong with your workout & what you posted. Read all of the stickies. There are some many things that you're doing wrong with all of your training that you will learn a lot from each sticky in this forum....nutrition and training especially.

Start focusing on major compound movements. The little isolation exercises like DB kickbacks and curls are only for minor accessory stuff. You'll never make good progress if that's the focus of a workout.

Agree with everything Ross said

Just read up

ok i asked my gym teacher today who used to b a personal trainer at the y

he told me to do different excercise for each muscle group everytime i go workout

for example

monday - peg fly
tuesday - lower body
wednesday - dual axis vertical press

and he said never go below 8 reps

^^^ He doesn't know what he's talking about. Start reading the stickies.

I agree with Ross, your gym teacher is an idiot.

Do you have deload periods-about a week after every month of training where you train lightly or take a break altogether? Also, forget about pretty much any exercise done on machines-you can hurt yourself more easily on them, they use less muscles than free weights, the list goes on, FORGET about pretty much anything you read in the pro/hardcore bodybuilder mags, and stick to exercises like deadlifts, squats, benchpress, rows, shoulder presses, and others where you move more than 1 joint. And sleep and eat-alot.
