Johnny Blaze Aug 2008 11:06pm, 4 Aug 2008 551 posts	0 Johnny Blaze No they don't - I think I am making it up as I go along - which I know is not the point, but I am very set in me ways. I started the prog on RW on 16/7 when I did 20 17 17 10 15 So i started off right. But now I am all over the shop. Basically I up the first set by 2 every other day and all the others by 1 = 6 more each time I try. When I get to 100 consec I am just going to do 100 straight off first thing when I hit the gym. I expect i will be somewhat fatigued by the end of that.
