Strength program

I've looked at the fitness page on the Women Eagles website before, but today is the first time I've really looked at the strength program[xls].

I would be comfortable performing most of these exercises (all but the Olympic lifts, I think). About half are not an option right now because of the limited equipment I have access to, but this workout is good to keep in mind while thinking about what I'm doing.

The goal, especially, is something I need to focus on: Increase muscle mass; positive relationship between muscle size and strength.
