amrap - as many reps as possible (while keeping technique perfect)

the number of reps per set is next to it so if it says 2 sets x 15 - 20 then do 20 reps of an exercise in 2 different sets (i.e. 20 reps, rest, 20 reps again...)

333 - is lifting tempo so you'll lower in 3secs, hold the mid point x 3secs then lift in 3secs for each and every rep

A1, A2, B1, B2 etc - these are antogonist supersets or basically alternating sets...if A has 2 exewrcises (squats and push ups) then you'd do 1 set of squats, rest as prescribed, 1 set of push ups, rest, squqts etc until all A's are completed...if A has 3 exercises then they'd be like squats, rest, push ups, rest, chin ups, rest, squats etc

make sense??

yeah thank you much better now i understood them better.... i also youtubed the excersies i didnt know and it was good lol.... so you say keep doing this program for 4weeks before starting picking up weights??.... at the end of the article should i follow what he says that when i find it easy go take 5Ib dumbell and start over?? or you think i should start on the real thing like benching squating and all those things??

sorry my english isnt perfect lol
