      Starting into this on Monday, cant wait. Havent done anything like this before, always just had a very mixed routine, nothing this small and focused.

      Those who have done it before... any pointers or tips from mistakes you may have made?
      I will start light as the report recommends and work my way up.

      How long did you train with this programme?

      As long as you start low (as you are) don't add more weight each session than is recommended, you can't really go too far wrong.

      (Assuming your form is good that is)

      im doing it now mate, just dont wait too long to up the weight if it really is too light. im on gear though so if its legit it may be helping (still early yet) but im finding it a good workout for strength, mine is going up

      I followed this last year when first starting out, really liked the simplicity of it. If you're new to lifting (sorry don't know your background) then just ensure you have really good form I used a PT for a few weeks which was money really well spent.

      Squatting 3 times a week was hellish for my knees :(
