I am thinking about doing the 7/70 program. I am wondering if it is possible to convert excercises over. Like instead of doing bench press doing db press or incline db press and doing the same kind of math to find the right poundages. Would this cause a significant difference? I am training alone and am concerned about now having a spotter. I feel much safer and seem to get more out of db press also. Also, does this go on a five day cycle and after the fifth day you start all over. Or is it a once a week you do the day 1-5

Dumbells are fine...use the same math as is in the article.

Train 2 days on, 1 day off, then repeat.

I have a question regarding the 7/70 program as well.
Day 4. The tri-set:

Alternate DB Presses 4-5 sets x5-7 reps
Alternate DB Curls 4-5 sets x5-7 reps use 4%
Close Grip Bench 4-5 sets x5-7 reps use 4%

For my tri-set, do I go through all three exercises at once? Is that how this works?
i.e.

Tri-set #1:
Alternate DB Presses x5-7 reps
Alternate DB Curls x5-7 reps use 4%
Close Grip Bench x5-7 reps use 4%

Rest 2 minutes(??) and then tri-set #2. And so on until I have compeleted 4-5 tri-sets? Won't I have to use lighter weights than usual for calculating my 4% in these sets?

Or did I read this wrong?

thanks.

Mike
