Hello Everyone - from Brampton

[6pack]

Hey Folks... All magazines I have read are basically advertisements of Supplement companies... I am glad that I found a fantastic place where I can get some sound un-biased advice and tips... Thank you guys for dedicating your time to help others...
First question is that I have been training for about a year and am really confused with the rep range for periodizing... I do 4 weeks of 10 reps, 4 weeks of 8 reps and 4 weeks of 6 reps... Then I take a week off and repeat the cycle again for 12 weeks... Is this good or should I do 8/6/4 or 12/10/8... What do you guys recommend for a Novice Bodybuilder?
BTW I posted the same question on Praetorian's Q&A thread and he ignored it !!! Is there a protocol as to where newbie’s should post, please let me know so I don't post in threads that don't answer stupid questions... Cheers :beer

Welcome. For starters, if you don't understand it well, look into what periodization means. I think that will help a lot. You will probably need to provide more information to get good advice. I could tell you different reps or rep ranges to aim for, but that probably won't help much.

Your best bet is probably to find a program that is very structured and stick to it. So if you have a good grasp on the main free weight lifts than something like a 5x5 program would work well. It is well structured and incorporates periodization. Takes all the guess work out of it for you.
