Increased weights, reps, and/or improved form on nearly every exercise. Added one inch to my chest. 3/4" to each arm. My shirts are tighter and I'm getting lots of comments! Not bad for an old fart (46). I highly recommend you use the tools they give you here and enter all of your weights and reps into the database. Check out your progress charts, especially on the free weight exercises like bench, deadlift, curls, and squats. If you are doing everything correctly, you should see a generally upward slope on all of the graphs. -------------- Keep pumpin` Rick

Question, I am only in week one and there are only 4 exercises per workout. Do the number of exercises increase per week, (i.e. next week I will have 4 chest exercises to do as opposed to three) or am i just looking for increases in weight? Thanks!!

As far as progress, I always strive to be stronger each workout. If I can improve form, or do more reps, or add weight each workout, then I'm happy. If I can do more reps with good form with a particular weight than is prescribed in the routine, that is the time I add more weight. -------------- Keep pumpin` Rick

Consider that I gained a little more than 10 pounds!! Dayz -------------- Dayz... If being in shape was easy, everybody would be!! Train hard, you\'ll see them !!
