Overall Goal: I WANT TO DEADLIFT AND SQUAT MORE THAN 3 TIMES MY BODYWEIGHT, BENCH AND BENT OVER ROW MORE THAN 2 TIMES MY BODYWEIGHT AND OVERHEAD PRESS MORE THAN 1.5 TIMES MY BODYWEIGHT. I ALSO WANT TO BREAK 100 WIDE GRIP PULLUPS IN A ROW, SO FAR MY BEST IS 75
I decided that i wanted to live a healthy lifestyle.

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
10-12 Reps seems the best balance between building Size/Srength/Stamina
Well its now 4 weeks into my "bodyfat" reduction phase. Im not a fan of "cutting" so much, i still think that with correct nutrition and diet with a good exercise routine that some muscle growth is still achievable while shedding bodyfat.
