Good for you. A light has turned on in the dark.

Thanks.

Awesome program. That’ll definitly get you strong. I guess you have already given something like Rippetoe’s “starting strength” program a go?

I am to weak to do dip so I am going to be doing the dumbbell presses instead.

I will be switching the pushdowns for skullcrushers next time, as I think they will benefit me more.
