Well take note, probably won't happen again, my little banana muffin [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I've been working out(again) for the past 4 months and would love to increase my benching weight(as I started quite a bit lower than your starting weight). Actually the IW community is quite diverse, including those who want to kill dragons with their buff Warrior bodies, and those who actually want to have muscles of their own, and everyone in between...lol.

Sir K, check your PM's as I've sent you my email. I know that Excel files can carry viruses, but since Z can hunt you down and kill you, I'm willing to take a chance. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

A lot of people are intimidated to lift weights because they can't lift much or as much as the other guys. Everyone starts somewhere. Let me tell you, anyone worth their weight

at the gym will only be supportive no matter what your level. The gains and effort are the important part, not the poundage!

Exploring your potential and enjoying the trip! [img]smile.gif[/img]

My brother is the same way. He won't lift free weights because he's intimidated. He only does nautilus machines when nobody is looking. See, it shouldn't matter how big you are. You have the weight you lift according to your size. Anyone who makes fun of you is a jerk with big muscles and small self confidence. I havn't seen too many of those guys though. Most mature weight lifters are more than happy to help out a newbie. You can't get better if you don't do it. You only need two workouts a week if you do it right. Even a small guy can add 30 lbs to his press in seven weeks on this program. I've seen it. You work towards big muscles, you don't start out with them.

Bench pressing 390 is damn impressive!

Just PM him your email, and he'll send it. Sir K, I got mine, but I haven't had the chance to look it over yet. I'm off tomorrow and Tuesday, so I hope to kick it off. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Does it have to be with free weights, or will machines work if necessary?

EDIT - It appears I just made Xanther's Thieves Guild.

School eats up a lot of my time, and finance is scarce, but still I'm going-going-gone to gym, yessir!

Looking good is just great [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ronn_Bman · 11-02-2003, 10:37 AM

Ok, Sir K, I'm looking over the chart and your email and I have a couple of questions.

How do I determine my one rep max?

When warming up with 3 progressive sets, how light should they be in order not to adversely effect the 3 actual workout sets?

I see Failure and Negative, but no Test listing?

What does the 1/2 Negative mean?
