I want to see the help. My mom and brother saw that and they really liked it. I think it comes our here on DVD pretty soon so I'll have to rent it. Sounds like y'all had a good weekend. I had a great weekend with my hubby. Just spending time together. We watch alot of movies (at home) and we ate really badly this weekend I must admit.

You are doing gr8 sugazombie. Keep following your own intuition as to the additional sets and reps. Also you need to be doing a good WU for your squats and Bpress. Your shoulders and arms will be ready to go for your BBrows from doing bench.

This is what I might have done for a WU here...
Bike 5 min HR @130 bpm.
Bod squats 3x10
Squat 2x7 @37.5k OK.
1x7 @ 42.5k drop this as you should be plenty warm by now.
5x5 @47.5k 105 Lbs

B press 2x5 37.5k On my bench I alway start with just the bar, so here I would have done this,
2x20@bar
2x5 47.5k [email protected]
5x5 52.5k 116 Lbs



Sugazombie remember that in your WU you wanna get plenty of blood into the muscle. You wanna get the joints you are gonna use warm. You wanna get the muscles involved used to increasing weight. You wanna do this using the very least amount of strength possible. Feel free to check out my WUs in my log here,

WUs are only that. Meaning that all you wanna do is to get your joints and muscles ready and warm to lift the target weights, no more and no less.
So give that some consideration and you will be just fine sugazombie.

Not a bad idea. Just remember the WU just get you ready for the lifting.
