So, I've read the book and want to get started on this, but I need a few things answered first... Stage one is supposed to be 6 weeks long, right? So, why then, does the log sheet only have labels for workouts 1-4? Am I looking at this wrong? I understand the alternating between A and B (A,B,A. B, A, B), but I am not sure how the log sheet in the book adds up to 6 weeks.... Also, do I need a spotter for my squats? I don't think I'll be squatting massive amounts of weight anytime soon, but, is it safer to have a spotter??? These are the two main questions I have right now, I'm sure there will be more to come!
Thanks for any help in advance!

    The log sheets are pretty generic, I just crossed out the numbers and re labelled them 5-8. I never needed a spotter for the squats, but I did have a trainer show me how to do all the exercises with proper form, so I felt really comfortable attempting them on my own. Hope this helps and welcome to the group!

    I didn't even use the workout logs in the book. I used a note book so I can keep everything together. It was easier for me.
    Like Tessa said make sure you have the right form on squats. I never used a spotter. I use a squat rack or power rack. When I first started the program i was doing squats with DBs. I'm done with the programs now. I squat 140 and never used a spotter.
    Good luck to you! Great program!

    As the book says, the log sheet is just an example and not meant to be used to complete the program. Most people create their own.

    I never had a spotter and I completed the program.

    Thanks all! I think I was taking it too literal. Can't wait to start!
