Wow. This thead definitely moved. Just my views from skimming some of the pages:
Quite a few of you guys really aren't moving much weight to be focusing on 10 different exercises a session. Instead of focusing on 5 types of curls and only 2 pulls, focus more on the compound movements for a bit. Exhaust your linear progression and then adjust to your goals. Look up Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength. Actually buy the book though. It is definitely worth the money. He goes into extreme, meticulous detail while explaining the squat, deadlift, bench press, press, and power clean as well as some other accessory moves. If you don't buy it for the programming, atleast buy it for the instruction on the form of the big lifts. As long as you can keep adding weight to the bar every workout without sacrificing form, you should probably consider doing it. Progress is easily made by those that follow this routine correctly.
Just because you hear sounds from your GI tract, doesn't mean that you're hungry. Learn to distinguish true hunger from digestion noises.
Also, definitely try to train by yourself or with one other person maximum. Lately I've gone to the gym with a few friends and those workouts were extremely unproductive. Bring a log and know what you're gonna do before you step foot in the gym. Otherwise, you'll definitely waste time. Training doesn't mean walking to all the different machines and doing what's fun until you feel like it.
