New routine for lifting

[bakkily]

Someone on the forum board told me to go and do this lifting routine. Was thinking of starting it once I am no longer sick with a fever. Yea, it sucks, cuts into lifting/cardio big time. Kind of nice though lol, been lazy the last few days and just slept all day.

But was this one from T-Nation. Chad Waterbury's 10x3 program. It mainly shows that I work out my back/shoulders/and legs. I don't see any arm things in it, so was thinking of making up my own thing to go coincide with it.

This is it here. http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=795366

So I assume you are trying to lose weight. I recommend doing the program exactly as written. Trust me, Chad Waterbury didn't happen to forget to include arm work. Your focus isn't to gain mass (although it's a plus), it's to lose weight while hopefully preserving mass. Therefore, you don't need direct arm work. Your back and chest/shoulders exercises more than take care of your arms indirectly.

I don't understand some of the things he is saying, like I don't have a clue on how much weight I should be lifting for some of the lifts. Whats 75% 1RM?

1 rep max is the most you can lift for one rep. so he is saying go 75% of that weight

[Chuck Norris]

ex. 300 lbs is your 1 rep max for a given exercise 225 lbs would be 75% of your 1 rep max
