Well, Workout B didn't wear me out as much as A, but maybe that's because I'm more familiar with some of the exercises, or maybe I didn't push myself as much as I could have.

Stage 1, Workout B1

Deadlifts (I had to do these last as someone was using the squat rack)
1 x 15 @ 30kg (66lbs)
1 x 15 @ 32.5kg (72lbs)

Shoulder Press
1 x 15 @ 2x6kg (2x13lbs)1 x 15 @ 2x6kg (2x13lbs)

Wide grip lat pulldown
1 x 15 @ 25kg (55lbs)
1 x 15 @ 25kg (55lbs)

Lunge
1 x 15 @ 2x8kg (2x18lbs)
1 x 15 @ 2x8kg (2x18lbs)

Swiss ball crunch
1 x 15 (I thought everything was 15 reps!)
1 x 8

As well as doing the first set of crunches wrong, I also messed up the lunges by alternating legs, then thinking that was wrong and doing them on one leg then the next. Now I know I should be alternating. Oh, actually I better check that! I may hold a plate for the crunches too.

I feel quite confident I'll be able to increase my weight after the 15 and 12 rep weeks as I've previously been lifting these weights for 10 reps.

Anyway, my glutes are feeling it today! Yay!
