Couple of questions to help finish off my training plan!! :lift:

1) warm up. What amount of weight should your warm up be with, what sort of rep range should i be looking at doing for a warm up, and should you do a warm up set for every exercise you do.

2) Reps, do you gain more from doing your reps slow or should you get your 8 reps done a quick as possible.

3) Sets, how much time should be taken in between sets, i train with another lad so im guessing as soon as he finishes his set i should start mine, then when i finish he should be straight back on etc. Does the time in between have much effect on muscle growth??

4) Different exercises, how much time should be taken from finishing 1 exercise and starting the next.
e.g say ive just done my sets of flat bench press and im now going to do incline bench press, should there be a gap inbetween or straight into it.

thanks for all your help!!!!
