abear, 3x6? 3 sets 6 reps, or 6 sets 3 reps?
3 sets of 6 reps

but working up to 6 sets of 3 reps would be pretty cool. alywin cosgrove had an article about 8 sets of 2, after warming up of course.

;)
 
bah i need to get a camera now so i can take before and after pics.
 
For strength training, I recommend high sets and low reps and working in the 90-100% 1RM. Good parameters are 6X3@90%, 8X2@95%, and 5X1@100% (keep in mind this is not set in stone due to phsiological factors such as the percentage of what kind of twitch fibers a trainee has and etc). From time to time you can use overload percentages but that requires a couple good spotters or the use of a power rack, not to mention the watch of a discerning eye and careful parameter and time selection. However, you cannot work every exercise at that percentage, but that should be the basis of your core exercises.

If you want a lesson in strength, look to power lifters and strength athletes.

I think the most important tests of strength are in squat, deadlift, bench press, push press, glute-ham raises, snatches, and cleans.

A very good program is this one for increasing strength-http://www.elitefts.com/documents/9week-training-program.htm

You have to copy and paste these into your browser to see them, They'll have to do until I can find a host. Thanks to Gram for fixing me up with the space though.
