Now, my questions are :

- Can i add Ab training aswell?
- What do you think of my split?
- I don't understand the concept about going to failure every 2nd week... Should I just have the same weight and try to do as many reps as possible?
- And in general, are there any tips/advice you could give me? Any modifications?
