Nikster,

I have to confess, my first thought when READING the program was "maybe I should just start at Stage 2" -- I've been lifting for years, consider myself a pretty serious lifter (never been afraid of heavier weights, being in the "boy's" end of the gym)... But I figured I'd try Stage 1 and then skip ahead if it was too easy.

KICKED MY BUTT!!!!!

So, I'm working my way through it, upping weights often, sweating buckets... I love it! Can't wait for the next stages! (Does that make me weird? My non-lifting friends think I'm nuts!)
