Jari Love's Get Ripped 1000.

I did 5 routines! Without cardio. Here they are:
1: Alternating side squats off the step and lunge back off step with lateral raises during the middle section of 8 squats and lunges on each side. 5#
2: Stiff leg dead lift 8# with reverse fly 5#
3.Pulse squats and pulse lunges off step 8#.
4. Clean and press 8#, Squat and Press 5#, second set of Clean and Press 8#.
5. Wide Squats with bicep curl 5#. I did the whole routing, finally.

Although I finished the full wide squats with bicep curl routine, I cut short the pulse squats and lunges during the last part of the final leg. My legs simply gave out on me. I think I need to go down on weights for the first routine, alternating side squats off the step and lunge back off step with the 24 lateral raises. I'm wearing myself out so much during that routine that my legs simply cannot do four more routines that also use lower body muscles. It's the hardest routine for me and I wear out early on. So, I'll lower the weights for that one down to 3# until I've strengthed myself sufficiently to justify bringing on more weights. I'm ready to increase the weights for the stiff leg dead lift with reverse fly, but until I've completed a week of finishing the entire routing of wide squats with bicep curl. I don't want to over exert my energy, which seems to be what is happening through the previously mentioned first routine.
