    No offence dude, but you keep posting kind of off the wall posts, looking for answers when you not giving huge detail about what the questions are based on.

    Now then, i do believe you goals are to add mass , yes?

    How long have you been training and what is the free weights section of your gym like?

    Remember, no offence to any personnal trainers or gym intructors but there area of skill is in getting people into good alround shape, adding some strenght, a bit of size and hold decent body mass ratio's and becoming cardio vascularly healthy.

    THis does not seem to be your goal, am i correct?

    Sorry if my posts have been off the wall. I decided to create a new thread for this because my routine has changed.

    My goals are to have a good fitness level and increase my strength and size. I know I have posted those stats above before, but I thought since I was starting a new thread, someone was bound to ask my stats when I posted up my routine.

    Ive been training 8 weeks. The free weights section in my gym is poor. There is only one set of each weight.

    Basically I wanted to know will this new routine they gave me, help me in achieve my goals. I also want to know which is better, 2 set of 15 reps or 3 sets of 10 reps?
