It's probably like most machines. 200lbs on one bench press machine may be easy while 200lbs on another may feel impossible. The gravitron is most likely not accurate regarding weight balance.

Up to 95lb on the lat pulldown and I can do a chin up on the gravitron offsetting 60lbs. (dont' understand the descrepancy there since I am 130lbs it seems I should only have to offset 35lbs.)

I have not personally read any of McRoberts' material, but I know it's supposedly very good stuff. I know a lot of the principles and ideals he holds influenced Martin Berkhan and his training/approach, who in turn has inspired me in some aspects of developing my own thoughts/beliefs about training and diet. Speaking of results, I am working directly with a guy(newbie) right now, whom I have on Starting Strength and he is making some really nice progress. He is an example of someone who wanted to improve and is doing what it takes to succeed. He has also done a very good job at maintaining an objective mindset despite being tempted to go back to old ways and consistently wanting to diet for fear of fat gain. He has come a long way and once we get done with the SS model I am going to start him on some bodybuilding type stuff. @Dorian: Yes, when you are naive, it’s very easy to get caught up in all of the fluff and dogma.
