Alternately you can try pike pushups - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkE8W6kuRL0. You should only move your head far enough back to get it out of the way of the bar. Don't crank your neck into cervical hyperextension. Ideally I like to see a very slight lean back that comes from the whole body and includes squeezing the glutes (not arching the low back). @Laura: Ideally I’d like to see something overhead, but if that’s contra-indicated you could do pushups.

Also, do you need to tilt your head back when raising the bar in that movement? I've heard that it's something you need to do in order to ensure the bar doesn't get to far away from your body - what are your thoughts on this? By the way, a thousand thanks for this great, great site! Would it be ok to do regular push-ups instead of overhead press?

Try adding a little bit of weight every week if you can. Eventually just add weight when it feels right -- when the prescribed reps and sets are easy to complete.

I'm planning on doing this routine. How much weights should I start lifting? and do increase the weights I lift every week? If not how often do I increase? Thanks, I appreciate your assistance.

I love your site, Im just starting to follow your website, and I've been doing your Routine #1 for 3 weeks now. My question is, When it's time to move on to Routine #2? Or how do I know I need to change routine? Thank you for your response! :) Hi Krista!

If you want to alternate, great. If your schedule requires you to double up, that's fine too. The most important things are that you do what you enjoy, and you work out regularly. :) Lift and do cardio on the days that work for you. If you want to alternate, great.
