I did my first rep maxes and configurations last week, this was my first access to the internet since then otherwise I would have posted the results sooner.
I setup a Google docs account with link below for anyone to see.
I was distracted and used a 25lb plate with my crunches - body weight + 90lbs was my max unsure how to calculate how much is my legs to adjust weight as needed, any thoughts?
Body weight w/o legs...Sit on a scale in a chair with you feet on the floor, this will be close. You can decrease body weight on a total gym or leg press machine,..
I canceled the shoulder press as it seemed to be hitting a lot of the muscles the chest press did, will try moving chest to #1 and shoulders to last to see if that helps.
Just change exercises instead of shoulder press do shrug or butterlfys
I know you said to round down, but I only have 2.5lb, 5lb, 10lb, and 25lb plates for my dumbbells. Is it ok to keep the weights where I have them or should I drop the weight? (for instance would have to change the 15lb hammer curls to 10lbs (calculated out to 13.333~))
Get really good with the 10 and then go to the 15, a couple more days of high speed 10s. or wrap 1 lb weights on your wrist.. I don't know where you are but lead weights and Ace wrap may make up the difference.
Thank you for the feedback, I definitely felt like it was a great workout overall and soreness was very minimal!
