I've just finished the Break-In program, and I'm starting Strength I after work today. I figured I'd post my information, if only to give myself a spot to keep a record.

So, for starters, here are my ending Break-In numbers. I don't think the starting numbers are very significant, since I was still figuring out what weights were appropriate. Supersets, etc. are all as described in the book. Weights are in pounds.

Squats
115 x 15
115 x 15

Static lunge (each leg)
50 x 15
50 x 15

Two-point DB row (elbow out)
35 x 15
35 x 14

Pushup
15
15

Swiss-ball crunch
20
19

Deadlift
145 x 15
145 x 15

Step-up (each leg)
20 x 15
20 x 15

DB one-arm shoulder press
30 x 15
30 x 10

Close-grip lat pulldown
120 x 15
120 x 14

Reverse crunch
20
20

I really need to get better about watching my tempo and rest periods, so I'll be working on that. I'm afraid I'm not very precise about what I eat, and I don't think that will change any time soon. I'm 5'11" and have brought myself up to 150 pounds from 143 after a few months of lifting. So, I just try to make a conscious effort to get enough to eat and keep it relatively healthy. I know that's not the fastest way to a great body, but that's what I'm willing to do at the moment.

I'll be working out twice a week. I'd like to do three, but work and family commitments just don't give me enough time.
