Great work! MORE WEIGHT MORE WEIGHT!!!

So you always use metric plates? The crew sure likes using them. From a mental point of view, I think it helps because it doesn't look like there is much weight on the bar to think about.

Nice lifting and I hope you will be able to sort out soon if this routine is for you or not.

Ya Metric, not by choice, but all the plates in the prison gym are international except 2-45's someone bought and brought in.

A little bird told me I am getting a home gym setup for Christmas (surprising since, according to my 6 yr old granddaughter, I have NOT been very nice lately) but they will be good old, what I'm used to anyway, American pounds.

As far as the routine, I don't know, some days I am whipped out after, other days I have half a tank left. Maybe I am wired to use heavier weights? Maybe I just have to get used to using lighter weights, more volume....I don't know. I'll figure it out eventually.

Anyone following this log, realizes I have been on the fence about the new FB routine I have been using. After some long and hard though over the weekend, I have desided to return to Hepburn training.....

I know it has only been 2 weeks, but my enthusiazm had DRASTICALLY gone down, and for the first time since I lifted that first dumbell back in my P90X days, I am looking for reasons to skip my workouts.....definatley no good, and something I NEVER experienced while Hepburn training...in fact I often had to force myself from working out too much.

So tonoght I will do some heavy dead and Mil Press work, Wednesday some Squat and heavy Benck work. Friday will be December Deadlift Challange. Next week getting back into shape for heavy lifting, and return to Hepburn 12-31-12.

I will alter my routine just a little, First, I am not going to use Hepburn style for squats because of the arthritis in my hip, I am not sure what rep and weights schedule I am going to use, but it will be different. Second I am going to do the "Rep" sets a little different, 3 sets all out, with a 25 rep goal. and Third, I am moving from the 4 day a week, Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, to Mon - Wed - Fri...A-B-A one week, B-A-B the next.

That is all!
