[quote=FireBball972]I'm trying to gain maybe 30 pounds of muscle, as the coach wants me to play linebacker. Usually its 3 sets of ten reps, and when we're lifting competitively, i.e. to build muscle fast, its usually 3 sets of 3 reps. QUOTE]
30 pounds of muscle?????? sorry mate, ain't gonna happen unless you train for a few years. you can't just put on 30lbs of muscle overnight, it takes a long time to gain some serious muscle which is why most people give up and stop going to gym, because they're too impatient to put in the years of dedication and work. Also, 3 sets of 3 reps????? your couch doesn't seem like he knows much about putting on muscle mate. you'd be putting on muscle much faster and more efficiently working in a rep range between 4-8 maybe even 10 but not 3 reps, thats just ridiculous.

Not bothering to go to the gym has reminded me of what a waste of time and money it is............
And If I want to tone up? I've got 90 kg's to work with that I got for free (i.e. My body weight).
FUCK THE GYM!

well you may be happy with what you got naturally. others like me on the other hand want to keep improving their body to a level beyond what you can do with just your own bodyweight. Look at it this way, in 2 years of training at home with your own bodyweight and such exercises will be LUCKY at most if they yield the same muscle gains as working out 6 months in the gym will, let alone the balance in your muscles, ie having huge arms but small twig like legs. now who would be wasting time here??? the guy working 2 years or the guy who can get the same results in 6 months. You guys just seem to impatient, it takes a long time to grow your muscles right and anyone who works out regularly will tell you that.
