Thanks for the suggestion mate. What were the reasons for you changing some of the exercises and changing the reps?

I'm guessing this is not a strength oriented routine? 1x20 leg press on the current weight I do would be impossible, I'm usually stuffed after the 5th rep because I go heavy. Same for some of the other exercises.
