Hi Rixatrix,
I really thank everyone for the replies.
I've definitely been trying to challenge myself and I make a note in my logs if a weight I used felt light or was hard to get the last 2 reps done. Then I make adjustments next set or workout whichever is next.
Anyway ere are my last 2 logs before starting A5 (borrowed your format):
Workout A - 12x2
Squats - 40lbs
Pushups - 30 degree
Seated Row - 80lbs
Step Ups - 12.5lb dumbbells
Prone Jackknife - 10 (very tough)
Workout B - 12x2
Deadlifts - 50lbs
Shoulder Press - 20lb dumbbells
WG Lat Pulldown - 80lbs
Lunges - 15 lb dumbbells
Swiss Ball Crunch - 12 (lost count :-D )
