    1. Look at Day 2. You must first determine your maximum weight for 1 rep. Day 16 is 5 sets of six reps -- 3 reps at 85% of your 1 Rep Max, 2 reps at 90%, and 1 at 95%. You are trying to go extra heavy to push your boundaries.

  2. so day one you have to complete all exercises in that whole row

  3. Columns are days of the week, so Day 1 (Monday) you do a modified Ranger Physical Fitness Test to see where you are compared to the standards. Tuesday you find your maximum weight for 1 rep of each exercise -- you'll use this throughout the program.
