Approaching the end of cycle one - lifting heavy
So, I am entering week five of my cycle. Tonight was brutal for some exercises and a cake walk for others. I take this to be that I had accurately accessed what I should be doing for some of the lifts and didn't get a good gauge for others. I am doing the 8-12 rep (progressive) work sets on a five week cycle; adding one…

Weight training regimen - critique
Here is what I have started with and wanted some discerning eyes on it. If the answer to this question is in a previous post (I scanned quickly), please just post a link and I'll read it.

Workout bench alternative

One more time
Hello. Just joined the site today and I'm extremely impressed. I'm a 33 year old male that has struggled, at times (i went from 198 to 172 a little over a year ago). I've been doing Power 90 and loosely following the diet recommendations. I've done WW before and liked their system, but I seemed to plateau very quickly. I…
