Notes for Week 1, Day 1

The weight that you are going to use per exercise is going to be determined by a specific body weight percentage range. Example: If you weight 200 lbs and the exercise calls for you to use 65%-75%, you are going to start out with a weight between 130 lbs and 150 lbs. This is just a starting point, from here you can use a weight that is going to challenge you, while still allowing you to keep excellent form.
