Just Started 12 Week Weight Loss Program

bkroger Posts: 1 Joined: 2010/07/07	2010/07/07, 12:26 PM It goes from 20-12-10-8 reps. Is the goal to have the same weight the entire time or to increase weight? I have worked out a lot but have gotten out of shape since college and am trying to do it right. Also, what kind length of a break should I take between sets 45s - 1 min? Thank You.

When I squat I take 2-3 mins sometimes. Good luck -------------- FOR MY WIFE: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AINT NOTHING COMPARED TO THE COST OF LIVING HIGH. 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
