Do you lift every day working 2 body parts or are their days off in between? So if day 1 is chest and biceps...do you only use one exercise to work the chest and one exercise to work the biceps? Meaning 8 sets of 8 doing the chest press...then the chest workout is done for the day. Then doing 8 sets of 8 doing the bicep curl...then the bicep workout is done for the day.

Like I said in the article... for the major muscles like the chest I typically do 3 different exercises such as bench press, incline dumbbell press and fly's. Then for the smaller groups such as biceps triceps and shoulders I do 2 different exercises. I would pair up Chest and Triceps, Back and Biceps, Shoulders and abs, Legs on their own. If you are a beginner then you could get away with 2 exercises for the major muscle groups and 1 for the smaller groups.
