This is why I made a lifestyle change. Diet started at 215 lbs. Christmas Eve '07.
No Flex, Relaxed, 10 Hours post workout so no pump or anything
On December 24th of '07, I decided to start a drastic cut cycle. On February 16th, I had lost about 40 pounds of total body weight (215 to 175), most of it being fat. I proceeded to gain some of it back between february and march of '08, but got back on track and have built a lean physique. Now I'm focused on building lean muscle day by day, week by week.
Anywhere from 8 to 5 for strength and size. I find that this "reppage" recruits the most muscle fibers judging by the pump I get.
I used to power-lift and train max-effort by 3 or by 1. I never got the type of pump I get with sets of 5 and 8 (save 5 x 3 max-effort squat day doing 525 by 3 - kill me).

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
I rest a good minute in between sets of most exercises. I can't perform with the same weight or an even heavier weight without a full recooperation from the previous intense set.
I don't want any factors such as lactic acid buildup, poor form, or fatigue to prevent me from training with the best form and most weight with that form possible.

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
Jay Cutler, John Cena. Both are from my home state Massachusetts and have extremely powerful builds (Jay moreso a little, you think?). Also, both have amazing vascularity - like the incredible Hulk on 'roids. Jay Cutler, John Cena.
