    I am doing the challenge but tried the monthly workouts for something different. Day 1 Push at the end had Seated arnold press – ladder reps. 4 sets of 15 but it says 1-2-3 up to 5, then back down 1 rep. Does that mean for example – set 1 would be 1 rep at 5 pounds, 2 reps at 8 pounds, 3 reps at 10 pounds, 4 reps at 15 pounds, 5 reps at 20 pounds then back down = 1 set? then the next set you do the same but stop at 4? Was confused so thanks for clarifying.

    Hi there. I would have to see the workout. But a ladder for example would be. From this challenge. 6 sets ladder starting at 5 reps.
    So first set would be 5 2nd 6 and so on until you hit 10. It progressively gets harder. Look on page 17 in the ebook. It talks about ladder
