workout transition
ive looked looked at this site for a good 2 years now n i gotta say its awesome and has helped me a lot. now i got a specific quesion. football's over now n im gonna start workin out to make up for the 20lbs i gained (probly mostly fat lol) during the season n get in back good shape. im about 5'10, 210. should i just go rite into 8-12 rep exercises (from 3-5 in football)? or should i gradually reach that range? also will my strength decrease over time with the 8-12range? if it does, should i hav some 3-5range workouts now n then? thanks

I am sure you will some excellent answers, but I think a 4 day split would work great for you working each bodypart 2X week. One day could be power driven ie 5x5 while the other could be hypertrophy based. So you could get the benefits of both.
Best of luck, Hawk

strength doesnt decline at any rep range its down to how hard you push, if after 6 month your using same weight for say 10 reps then your doing something wrong i aim for approx 5lb per month min increase then stick with it till 10 reps then add more weight so your always progressing

Check the articles on periodization on this site...
http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/periodization3.pdf You may want to try DUP, where you have a 3-5 rep day, 8-10 rep day and 12-15 rep day during your workout week.
