    On to Cycle 3. Made it through everything except overhead press. Made the first 12 but by the time I got to the 8th rep on the second work set, couldn't even get the bar above my chin. Busted.

    I never did a full-on 10 rep max test in the beginning so I think this one I probably started a bit too light. That's why I wanted to try the heavy...

    Quick question:

    I just finished Cycle 2 week 2. Cycle 1 was definitely not easy. Maybe it's just ultra beginner gains, but after going up 10% on Cycle 2, specifically the bench press, today on...
