Don't want to take up space here, this is Wes's site about his training. Refer you to my my section, my ideas all laid out there....good or bad.
Just to note; I like the sound of the clang and rattle of plates and the thud of DB's hitting the floor. Music to my ears. Which means I enjoy lifting heavy and the challenge of it. But also do lighter stuff, as GVT, 8x8's, etc..for the sake of preserving my joints and the important of the change of pace received. Also observe that most men train too much (too long of a workout) and too often (too many training days a week), not allowing the CNS and recovery to catch up to them. But than again, to each his own.
Good Luck.
