Hey there Annie, you are very organized! Hopefully that person with the BFL book will return it to the library!

Looking over your information I would suggest two things: Increase your protein. Aim for 1g of protein per lb of body weight. Specially if you are going to be doing the BFL Cardio. This thread has a kind of overview as to what BFL is like, cardio and weight lifting wise. It should help you out until you get the book.

If you want to know the weight of the bars, take them on the scale with you! EZ curl bars tend to be around 11 lbs and the dumb bell bars w/o the plates between 2 - 3 lbs. When lifting those first 12 reps are supposed to be easy. They are your warm up - often you'll use 2 or 3 lbs for this set. Remember, it's not the number of lbs that matters - its the effort you put into it!

If you have a look through a few of our BFL gym logs, you'll see the method to the madness that is the BFL system - your 12, 10, 8, 6, then last 12 are all one exercise (say Shoulder press) and that last 12 for shoulders is another exercise (usually side raises or front raises). It is on this second exercise that you want to reach failure. It takes some tweaking to get this right - but you'll figure it out

HTH
