Hey check out my response to Wolfam for a lot of the answers you seek.

As far as intensity of workouts, Im kind of unclear as to what you're asking. Still a novice. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] But heres what I do know. I have been lifting for 5 weeks (currently in my 5th) and of those 5 weeks I would that I have been lifting hard for only 3 weeks (this includes my fifth). The first week was just kind of getting aquainted with the gym and learning the exercises and seeing what my body could do. The second was kind of a repeat, adding an exercise or two here and there. Then starting week 3 I have been lifting heavy only. I lift as heavy as I can and if I can't finish out a set because I am tired and my body can't lift the heavy weight anymore, I drop down 5/10lbs to the next lowest weight and finish out the set with that weight.
