Plain cake > Chocolate cake.

But yes, i would rather remove everything else off the list and just squat then do everything else on the list and not squat.

Plain cake is awesome with jam and cream.

Sorry for the noob question but just wanted to confirm that the weights mentioned are for the reps mentioned. Just double checking.

I have a goal now

I'd say just go at the rep range specified (8-10 whatever) until your weights go up. As you approach those benchmarks try dropping the reps and lifting more. Then try a 1rm.

i like this approach........

say you bench press 80kg for 8 reps. Next session aim for 9 reps (per set obviously). Once all reps are done, go for ten reps. Once that's done, add more weight, go back down to 8 reps & so on.

Agreed with powerbuilder, build your way up the reps. Then drop back down again. I do that with 5 - 8 reps though. Works pretty well. Almost hit my 95kg 1rm for bench.

I agree its a great system, progressively adding reps, then adding weight, nice work fellas and great advice.
