Well, how hard could it be to count reps? Someone suggested a cheap pedometer, that OP could strap to his(her?) wrist.
Sorry that I came off as hostile there - I really had intended for it to be more or less playful/humourous, but from a perspective of a guy who gets tired of googlegroupies and their obtuseness. I should be more patient - I was a newbie once, as weren't we all.
I sincerely apologize if this has caused any inconvenience.
Crap. That was supposed to be sincere, but even _I_ can tell that it comes off as less than friendly. I do, however, continue to refuse to blame alcohol for my own stupidity/foolishness. I'd also refuse to blame pot, if I had any. ;-}
But I _will_ stand behind my "was your mother a weightlifter" crack, because when properly applied, it's a very fine joke.
You'll figure it out. ;-)
