How Much Weight

Can someone please tell me the ideal amount of weight I should start with? I know it depends, but for example: I weigh about 165, am 6 feet, and haven't worked out much in the last 6 months, but I can manage about 25 straight push ups.

How do I make pairs of excersice?

As I am a beginner, therefore it will be hesitating for me to ask that, "How do i divide my excersice? means somebody told me that it is much better to workout on biceps and triceps in different days instead of doing it in a same day." is it?

Forgot about the back?

The very first thing I noticed about this workout is that it's missing the back. Lat pulldowns and seated cable rows are not enough of a back workout if you're trying to build mass. If you're going to follow this routine, include: chin-ups or pull-ups, and bent-over rows.

Sets

Should you complete all reps of a certain excercise before moving to the next excercise, or should you do one set up each before going to the 2nd set?

Replacement?

I don't have the equipment required at home or at school for skull crushers, cable curls, EZ Bar curls or the declined flies. Could i do bicep curls in place of the EZ Bar curls, french curls in place of skull crushers. I also don't have a preacher bench so what exercises could i do in place of the declined flies and cable curls?

Print out Programs?

Im new so this may be a dumb question. Is there a way to print these work outs to take to the gym?

3 min rest?

3 min rest between sets? that's too much. to build mass you need to increase weights with a decrease in reps. 1-2 min tops, increasing the weight is key.

Rest Between sets

Hey all, Great routine here.. if you want to build mass leave 3 minutes rest between sets. The duration of this workout is OK, leaving a proper 3 minute rest between sets will stretch your workout over an hour which is fine because if u want to build mass you MUST leave 2-3 minutes rest between sets.

Shoulders vs Biceps on Back/Legs day

Just an inquiry as to why shoulders are done on same day as the back versus biceps. Are the biceps and triceps exercises meant to be done as a superset? Thanks. I have been doing this workout for 3 months now and have had great improvements in my physique. The only variance from the workout I do is switching shoulders and biceps. And Upright Rows instead of Shrugs. Every other month I also switch rep ranges from originals to 5x5.

Great program

Passing 1 hour is not bad for a workout... Some of the heaviest lifters lift 8 hours a day. This program hits almost every muscle!

Program looks promising but long

This program gives a great workout but is VERY long. It easily takes me over an hour to finish. I have always heard that once you pass the 45 - 60 minute mark, you venture in to the land of diminishing returns. That is my main worry. Other than that I do like the concentration on chest exercises. I can feel it the next couple days.
