Finally done the first cycle, seems like it has taken forever. Now its go time :eek: . I was really surprised at the weight I did for power shrugs, I think I could go heavier...without injuring myself.

As far as the next cycles go, I obviously have to increase the weight on the big lifts every workout and still complete all the sets. For the BB exercises I will have to increase by 5lbs minimum. Considering BB bench, over the 16 week period I will have increased my base weight by 80lbs, meaning 215lb bench press.

I can handle more weight on most of the exercises, using bench as the example again, do you think it would be better for me to jump the weight up to say 165 and then increment by 5 after that, or would it be best if I increment 5lbs a workout starting from the 135? I guess I'm just worried that if I increase the weight alot right now, then I won't be able to successfully increase each week.
