As of November 11th 2012 I've been doing this routine.

Low weight very high reps hardly any rest between sets. Currently I rest 90-120 seconds between each set. I rest 2-4 minutes between each exercise or longer if needed. I stretch the muscles I plan to exercise before and after workouts. I also do warm-up sets before and after with light weights.

Does anyone else here lift weights?
I think I'm going to lift for endurance now, and maybe switch back to bodybuilding in 3-4 months. It bothers me that most people think it's a waste of time. I felt a lot better last year when I did endurance weight training. My back hardly bothered me, I had a lot more energy, etc… My blood pressure became so low I had to go to the ER in the middle of the night. ER doctor told me not to take one of my heart meds. Also my doctor lowered my blood pressure medicine by half after the next visit. A few months later I was took off of 2 other medicines. I only take 3 heart medicines now, blood pressure, heart rate, and something else B) Also during that time I was eating terrible and drinking tons of Mt. Dew, lol.Since I started back lifting like a bodybuilder my blood pressure has gone back up and I'm taking a higher dose of blood pressure medicine. This is despite eating fairly healthy and cutting way back on carbs.Maybe 1 month out of every 4 months I should focus on bodybuilding?I don't even lift bro, but I like your banner! King Arthur's World is great. Nice soundtrack, too.
I used to do a rather imbalanced work out I choose for myself (lol), which was basically 1 massive set of 70 Reps for Dumbell Lifts (4 KG, lol), followed up 2 sets of 35 Push-Ups, and 2 sets of 15 second Lateral raises with the same Dumbells.
It took a long time, but I did eventually start to see some results, but it looked short of, well, odd. I ended up with extremely defined muscles, but with no extra mass than what I had before. Anywho, I quit. Why? My Diet was my biggest enemy, and I couldn't afford to eat the way a man needing muscle mass needs to eat.Reading this makes me want to get back into it though – and this time, with an proper plan.Where's the squats?
Visor: It's good that you developed a routine that you can follow. For me it has always been the hardest thing to do.
Snakeman: It's hard to make time when you're busy. My arm/chest workout can take over 3 hours.The Avatrol: I'm not able to do squats, my knees bother me too much. I avoid exercises that force me use my knees.I'm a weak bitch who's too lazy. It's kind of a downward spiral because when you're working out you have tons of motivation to keep on working out and go to bed at sensible hours (which is a major factor for me). When you stop, it's hard to start again because you have no motivation or energy. People think exercise is going to make them tired alot, but it's the complete opposite.
Dammit, I have to get back on the horse starting TODAY
