that's basically it. I want to aim at a goal of being able to do this set once or twice a week, maybe for decades, and not try to really improve or change it.

My "goal" for exercising is to fit into my clothes.

I'm happy with my weight and my clothes and want them to fit and last.

Therefore I spent time in the gym.

I do activities that raise my heart rate. I do weights to maintain muscle tone.

Simple. No Ph.D. level stuff.


I also eat clean and watch my calories in. That's important too.

What are you trying to achieve by doing all those reps?

What about looking good out of your clothes?

what makes you think I don't look good WITHOUT my clothes?

An advantage of being fit, toned is that with and without clothes I look great.

I don't see it as a lot of reps - the barbell excersizes I figure that "as many as possible" will be under 20, no matter how good I get, maybe 25 at best. the kettlebell - well, it seems a waste to do less than 100 reps with a kettlebell.

but, again, I am open to suggestions.

let me also say that I don't want to bullk up past hitting this goal - I want to be able to do a specific workout, at that point buy clothes, and then do that workout for a long time.
