Hello guys, can you pass your opinions on this please? I have a weight bench at home and do not go to a gym with other users. Therefore I have no one able to spot me on my exercises. With safety in mind I do not do each set to failure! Therefore should I do many reps with low weight, or low reps with heavy weight, stopping just before I reach failure?

I am trying to build muscle size and strength. Following help from several of you already, I am taking 90+ Protein 4 times a day together with a diet as healthy as family life will allow!

My routine is as below;

Sunday, 4 sets of
Incline bench press - 45k
Close grip bench press - 35k
Shoulder press - 30k
Lateral Raise - 8k
Dumbell Preacher curls - 12k

Tuesday 4 sets of
Squats - 100k
Calf raises - 100k
Leg extensions - 35k
Leg Curls - 30k
Crunches

Thursday 4 sets of
Lateral Pull downs - 55k
Triceps Press - 35k
Deadlift (bent knees as opposed to stiff leg) 90k
Barbell Shrugs - 90k

the first set of all exercises is a warm up with light weight. The weights I am lifting pale in comparison to you others I know, but give a guide as to where I am.

How does this compare to other routines and methods that you use? All tips greatly and readily appreciated. Many thanks.
