    Hey guys,

    Me again, just coming back to let you know my progress in the weights etc:

    Chest Press - 3 sets - 70lbs - 12 reps

    Dual Axis Row/Rear Delt - 3 sets - 100/105lbs - 12 reps

    Arm Curl - 3 sets - 75/80 lbs

    Tricep Extension - 3 sets - 70lbs - 12 reps

    Ab Crunch - 80/90 lbs - 3 sets - 40/50 reps. - Got rid of this to do the Roman Chair 3 sets of 20 and the decline chair with the 5kg ball...again 3 sets as many as i can do.

    Leg Press - 3 sets - 240 lbs

    Shoulder Press - 3 sets - 60lbs - 12 reps

    Leg Curl - 3 sets - 110lbs - 12 reps -

    Leg Extension - 3 sets - 90lbs - 12 reps - Stayed the same...this is so hard on the legs for me. I only hit between 8 - 10 reps rarely the full 12 in each set!

    So I am thinking of updating my program to split body? I have also been introduced to the bench press by mates a couple of weeks ago and at first couldnt lift anything but am now doing around 5 reps of 50lbs...not much but a start...mind you, my goal is not to get big...just to get toned. Does this make sense? What do you guys reccomend?

    I have laid off the cardio...i tend to just leave it on 1.5 incline now and run for around 2025 mins at 12.5/13kph...and then go to the bike for 10 minutes. I was just getting bored of running so long on a treadmill. Any suggestions? I seem to be around the 12.5 stone mark and I am around 6'1...

    i'd say choose more compound movements. yes even for toning! MYTHS abound about isolation exercises for toning. they will work better. and if size ain't a goal just shorten hte rest interval for more leanness.ie you will obviously use less weight too therefore.
