The work out schedule has me SO confused. I think I am suppose to follow this:

Monday- workout A:
Squats 2 sets of 15
Push ups 2 sets of 15
Seated Row 2 sets of 15
Step Ups 2 sets of 15
Prone jackknife 2 sets of 8

Wednesday - workout B:
Deadlift 2 sets of 15
Dumbell shoulder 2 sets or 15
Wide grip lat pulldown 2 sets of 15
Lunges 2 sets of 15
Swiss ball crunch 2 sets of 15

Friday would be a repeat of Monday. Then the next Monday would be a repeat of this Wednesday. The third time I do workout A, the sets are still 2 but the reps change to 12 (and the weight has increased).

Basically I wrote this all down on the print out sheets. It takes two sheets to list the two different work outs and filing it up will be one months worth of workouts.

I think I'm confused because the book talks about workouts 5, 6, 7 & 8 but the sheets do not have those workouts on them. (I figured out the Set 3 & 4 are there because in the other stages you do more sets). I assume when I complete this month, I just start it over next month for a total of 16 workouts?

Am I making any sense?? LOL Thanks for your input!

    If you look at Workout A, you see where it says
    Exercise
    A Squat
    Workouts 1,2
    Workouts 3,4
    Workouts 5,6
    Workouts 7,8

    You will just MODIFY the sheets accordingly to where you are in Workout A and Workout B for Workouts 5-8.

    Thank you so much. I sat down again today and figured it out to the letter. Then I made spreadsheets with each excercise so i can track them. Now I feel like I have a plan! (Stage 1 & 2)
