Tomarrow starts week 4, and I cant wait.  I havnt missed a day of training yet and that alone is a huge accomplishment for me.  I am going for a new bench 1rm and I am going to try to meet my goal early.  I added weight to about 75% of my exercises last week and still felt good.  This week will stay the same, and next week I am going to add an additional set to everything.  I just hope the weight starts packing on, I think I am loosing what I put on the first week.

What is the best way to incorporate finding a true 1 Rep Max into a workout plan?  Also what is the best way to warm up for a 1 Rep Max?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I do not want to sacrifice any of my routines, considering I just started but I want to know where I stand to help me set my goals for the best increases possible.

This morning started week 3.  It was a great day in the gym.  I added 5 to 10 lbs on all of my excersises, I had to work a lot harder on my sets but at the end of my routine I felt great.  I felt stronger and more motivated.  Its only been two weeks but the gym is feeling like more than just something to do.  It gives me a great feeling about myself and I want to push myself harder every day.  I believe this is going to be a great journey for myself.

So my first week is done, finished out with a nice shoulder workout.  I am very pleased with myself and the fact that even though it has only been a week I have watched what I ate, recorded everything, pushed myself in the gym everyday, and became a member here on body space.  I am going to start progress pictures and record all of my stats on monday to really start tracking myself, and push to out do myself every week.
