    Don't workout the same muscles and program everyday.

    Better to use free weights than a machine since machines can't possibly identify what you're ROM or weaknesses are.

    Stick to basic pyramid training by increasing weight and lowering the rep count if multiple sets are to be used.

    Hi all,

    Well today I did swallow my pride and asked to be shown round the free weights room. I tried out various exercises and I can immediately see that they feel completely different to the machines...my balance was all over the place.

    So I am going to practice those different weights over the next week, with a proper program being drawn up next Friday. I will be doing different muscle groups on different days with a mix of cardio thrown in.

    Quite looking forward to it even though I still feel like a bit of a prat!

    On a side note, I've lost 7 pounds over the last three weeks so I'm pleasantly happy with that!
