I posted this on the main thread for this program(up bench 30lbs in 30 days)
but got no response so here goes.

Going to give this routine a go in 2 weeks time.Sorry, I'm used to working in kgs.
My bench is really weak(72kg for 3).
Just need the figures confirmed for me.
This put my 1RM at 78kg(172lbs) according to the calculator(I think).
This means I can add 10lbs(4.5kg) each workout.This seems alot.
Should I be more conservative if you are at the lower end of the add10lbs bracket.

How long have you been training and how much are you eating?

I have been training for 1.5 yrs but only seriously this year.
I am eating maintainence calories.

That's going to be a tough goal to meet I think. I'd eat way more than maintenance during this time and get lots of rest.
