FT - Training Programme - Week 1 Q?

SyncSA Posts: 8 Joined: 2003/06/12	2003/06/12, 07:09 AM Ok, I went through the steps to get my workout for the first week...but I have 2 questions? Day 1 -Squats & Leg Presses It gives me 5 rows of squats and then says, Target and Actual - Is the target the amount of reps? Why would the target be less than the Actual? (Hope this Q makes sense?)

I'm assuming that they are giving you an amount to strive for and "Actual" would be how many reps you actually completed. I'm only guessing though...Hope this helps some <smile>

Like this - Target Actual 15 15 12 15 6 10 5 10 4 10 So if target is what I should be going for, why is actual higher than target?

Maybe try to set the program up again and see if you obtain the same results... I wouldn't think that they would fill in the actual amount for you. But you and I may be on two different programs. What program are you starting on? Home? Gym? If gym, does it show an extra spot for amount of weight lifted? We'll get it figured out one way or the other :o)
