I found that I was gaining too much weight with my routine of pumping huge amounts of weight and low reps. Granted the size was good, but I was getting concerned. So, I switched up my routine by lowering the weight a bit and upping my reps. For example, free weight bench press is now holding at 230lbs with 10 reps and seated machine press is at 200lbs with 15 reps.
One thing I have changed big time is curls. I have added a fourth dumbbell curl routine for my biceps. So I now have two dumbbell routines at 45lbs and another with 55lbs both are at 15 reps each. Add this to my isolated 90lbs curl and the free standing bar curl of 110lbs and we are talking about some serious skin stretching. (and soreness to boot)
Interesting enough, I now get cramps in places I never thought; recently in the right forearm and right calf. Time to eat more bananas.
