I walk in and pick 2 body parts + abs. I don't always do the same ones together.  Legs day is only legs + abs & today I was running late, so I just did shoulders + abs.  

I don't get worked up about the whole push/pull theory - just work your muscles to exhaustion.  I know I had a good workout if I can barely walk because my legs are shaking or the muscle I worked won't stop twitching.  

I do typically 3-4 sets of an exercise and 3-5 exercises for each part. When I can't lift the weight anymore, I'm done!  

I like to go from one set to another to another – occasionally stopping for a drink at the end of a super-set.  This keeps my heart rate up and also keeps me focused.   

I go pretty heavy for a girl - nothing insane, but I never pick up baby weights.  I also do high reps.  I like hard shapely muscles and this works for me. Some exercises I'll do 30 reps - others 15. I don't even always count - it doesn't matter to me - I just do it until I can't do it anymore & then sometimes I'll drop the weight to the next one down and crank those out until I'm dead!  

It doesn't matter if you're lifting dumbbells or rocks - as far as I'm concerned. Just moving weight from one place to another works your muscles like nothing else! Diet is what shows off your muscles. Muscles just look big if they have a layer of fat over them. As I started to diet, my muscles showed their definition and people were saying to me 'You look HUGE!' I was getting smaller, just my muscle definition was coming out and I finally looked DEFINED. 

Just get your butt in the gym, focus on the muscles you’re working & train hard or go home!
