Get a trainer: Overtraining is seldom a consideration. Probably your guide will urge you to do three sets of ten reps each, at the maximum weight you can handle this. Work each body area 2-3 x / week, skipping at least one day between. Work several different areas at each gym visit. Creatine and an electronic muscle stimulator unit (if okay with your physician) will help growth.

If you're only supposed to do 10 reps per set, and only 3 sets for per muscle group for muscle building, it seems like weight lifting workout only lasts about 30 minutes. Is that too quick?
