Cool, this is the kind of feedback I was hoping to get. If you don't mind keeping it in the open where others can see I don't mind being your marketing guinea pig.


Exercise | Weight |Reps
-------------------------------
Lat Pulls | 80 | 55 ---Sugest reducing weight to 1/3 your body.
I am 6'2", 265lbs, probably 15-18% fat but I can do 10 real pull-ups so this weight felt really good except for the plate bounce.

Seated Rows | 70 | 59 ---May drop to 60 lbs and see if reps increase
Roger...

Chest Press | 100 | 62 --- Unless you bench 300 lbs this is too much.
It's been a while, but that's not too far off. I will try 85 tomorrow and see what happens. I have ZERO soreness in my chest and shoulders. My hamstrings and calves are a different story.

Half Squats | 0 | 82 ---Seems pretty light (LOL) Try half your body weight on this one.
I don't have a squat machine or leg press, I was just doing freestanding squats down to where my quads were parallel with the ground.

Hamstring Curls | 50 | 50 ---Adjust weight down by 20% (41.6 lbs)
There is a god!

Bicep Curls | 35 | 51 ---Drop to 25 lbs
Roger...

Calf Raises | 0 | 61 ---Body weight plus 2/3rds to start
Same as squats, I was just using a machine crossbrace to stand on.

Knee Extensions | 50 | 59 --- Weight look okay but rep speed is really low for Knee extesions Had one guy doing 142 RPMS.
Roger, will try harder. Quads aren't sore at all either.
