Ok sorry for new thread but I'm going to the gym quite soon and I need immediate attention. You can lock it later. ;]

I know I need to try and find my max weight on certain machines so that I can begin my workout career at 70% of max weight.

Ok, so exactly what machines should I find my max on? I'm primarily interested in getting bigger muscles rather than stronger muscles, if that matters.

What about my girlfriend? I've convinced her to come with me to the gym, it'll keep us both motivated and we'll be doing something positive together. Her primary goal is weight loss through strength training, what machines should she find her max on?

Thanks doods.
