First question I have, is is there a Starting Strength Logbook Calculator in KG? Or is it just a case of changing the 'lb increase' to the kg equivalent and putting everything in kg?
Secondly, I haven't been to the gym for about 18 months. I have gone a few times in last 10 days to get back into it, before starting the novice program next week.
Anyway I have been surprised how hard the lifts have been after so long out...they have all literally dropped by 50% (!!) to make them a 'comfortable' 5 rep. Does this seem too much? I don't want to go too high straight away and fail...but also don't want to go too low!
