If you look up his name he has a website. I will look for it later. You can go to the forum and get alot of answers about the training there. If I remember right, you need to pick a weight that you can to 8-12 reps per exercise. The 11/12th rep should be difficult. If it is not, then the weight is to light. However, if you can only get 4/5 then it is too heavy. Perform the exercise slow, and with correct form (no cheating/ swinging the weight). Do not do forced reps, this will only slow down the recovery process. Just go until you can no longer lift the weight on your own. With approximately 30 seconds rest, or in some cases the time it takes you to get to the next machine keep going with the next exercise. One exercise per bodypart. Just MAKE SURE YOU GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH RECOVERY TIME. Give your muscle time to recover. If you don't you will end up overtraining, and going nowhere. Try the routine twice a week, with a couple days in between, and then work your way into three days.

I hope this helps..
