goldengloves Posts: 690 Joined: 2003/09/19	2004/02/22, 12:34 PM Friday I was doing my leg exercises and squats is in that routine. I piled 210 pounds onto the bar for my last set (not that heavy I know but at my house it is all the weight I have) and I did it for 10 times. Im proud of myself because it wasnt even heavy or even a struggle for me! *here's to 200 more!*:dumbbell:

	2004/03/01, 11:26 AM Andrew i am talking about the FT calculator. Not a chart. It seems to be pretty consistant. -------------- Some times life is like herding cats. Charlie
bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/03/01, 11:34 AM is it not based on the samething or principal? -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn
	2004/03/01, 11:39 AM You got me man. I have been on a high rep low rep routine for the last 2 weeks to try and shed some of the blubber I put on during my cruise. I have checked the 1 rep max on these against the previous 1 rep maxes on my low rep high weight routines and they come out pretty even. :dumbbell: -------------- Some times life is like herding cats.
