When your filling in your information...

If it has weight and you're lifting it, add it in. If you're inputting the weight lifted for a certain number of reps, the weight you log is the weight you do per rep. If you're doing squats with a 45lb plate on either side of an Olympic bar, you're lifting 135lbs. If you do it for 15 reps, you say "15 reps at 135lbs". No need to add any other things together unless you're doing Russian volume training. Hope that answers your question... -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"
