If I wanted to stick to the 8-12 rep range, would I keep at a weight until I can do 12 reps on all sets, or add weight as soon as I can do 12 reps on the first set, although unable to do 12 on the following sets? Thanks, great vid.

@ZZchaz If you can do even 1 set in strict form easily. You are ready to add weight. Just use a couple of 2.5 lb plates or extra collars. The point is to make every set challenging so that your muscles have a reason to grow. Keep it up.

Excume me Micheal, I have some questions for you and a request, hope you don't mind.

I recently bought a barbell with 1/3 more weight that I can lift at the moment so I can use it as I progress. I was wondering what muscles I could stimulate with a barbell, the biceps are a given.

Also how long should I wait between each 12-20 reps? What type of drinks should I take pre-post workout?

And for the request please make some barbell video, or any videos for that matter :).

Thank you, keep it up!

@XTCMatrix There is really no meaningful muscle group you could not exercise with a barbell. Pecs, delts, triceps, legs, etc. EVERYTHING!

I usually rest 1-2 minutes between sets. It can be shorter or longer depending on the type of training I am doing. A nice protein shake is a nice choice post workout. What's important is to feed your muscles plenty of protein and carbs within 30-60 minutes after a workout. Some bodybuilders have even used ice cream or chocolate milk for this purpose.

That's the worst form I've ever seen.

Do you mind that? I hope you don't and can fully accept it.
