sweet workout coop, definitely take the time to lower the weights. I used weights about 50% of my max and it still felt like a good workout. you have alot of time to up the weights so start low and build it up

especially for this routine GL kinda touched on it in the original post. best suggestion would be to up the reps throughout the week like do 8 reps monday 10 wednesday and 12 friday then add 5 lbs next week...once you get higher up maybe add 1 rep per workout and add weight every other week. hope that helped

I'll write this out better, later today, about finding your workset weights, and how to increase your reps and weights.


The basic program notes are geared more to finding what are appropriate workset weights. Your not going to up your reps to 12 every week. That was more about getting into the program and feeling it out.

As you have noticed. You have to really decrease how much weight your used to wprking with. As you work the program your capacity for work will increase and your former workset numbers will return.

Once you have found good workset weights for you, and are completing the whole program, you will only increase your reps by about 1 or 2 reps a week.

As far as how much to go up, I would say approx:

10 lbs for squats
5lbs for upper main moves
