I exercise 3 times weekly with squat and deadlift in one session working up to 1 heavy set of 3-5 reps. Bench and bent rows the next session, again working up to a heavy set of 3-5 reps. The final workout focusses on Overhead press with kettlebells thrown in such as heavy swings, snatches and core work.

Instead of splitting up the workouts and the whole "growing outside the gym" thing; how do you feel about Pavel Tsatsoulines theorys about "practicing" 2 heavy sets (with 5 slow reps per set) 5 days a week instead? Two excercises only; deadlift and sidepress. Never to failure. Resulting in more nerve training and less muscle growth. Do you like his ideas? / Fredster Mike!

Remember the old saying...muscles grow OUTSIDE the gym, not in it. So work hard, go home, eat and sleep....the muscles grow with that simple strategy.

I'm not a body builder by any means, but I've been running for a long time and tried (and hated) weight machines at a gym for a while. Now I'm doing Bikram yoga and many of the poses use the muscles in the legs, glutes, back, and shoulders all at once and I totally get this. Smart.
