iced696 thanks for pointing that out (i kinda suspected that was the case after i posted ) iron worker i respect your knowledge and love the "ROUTINE" you have planned for me, is this a bulk plan ? or am i looking for fat loss ? because i was thinking of adding cardio on rest days along with abb exercises. And i can assure you i will have proper nutrition...so for "the core" exercises i add 2.5lb each workout ? ( progressive overload )
like this
exercise A monday
3x5
set 1 40kg
set 2 40 kg
set 3 40kg
exercise A friday
set 1 42.5kg
set 2 42.5kg
set 3 42.5kg
i am struggling to uinderstand how to deload i know you obviously mean lower the weight and or reps, i am not good with at maths so cant work out how to lower weight by 10-20% so could you give me an example ? I will post some results in a few month to show you guys i am committed

thanks for your help
