weight felt light today. Dips are serious though felt a nice burn across the chest. I could see this being a really tough workout once the reps and weight start progressing. I loved every minute of it today. It was a blast!!!!

And, were off!


Great start Tim.

Don't worry about the dips. I pulled back to 3 sets for a few weeks to build reps a little better. You could just keep doing 3 sets until your getting 3x10, and then add the other two sets in.

I felt really tired on the 3 set and couldn't even hit 8. Overall the workout was the funnest time I've had in awhile lifting.

Thanks Coop! Weights felt light today and still had some gas left in the tank but Glwanabe told me to start light so I figured to try to go about 50% 1mr on this on wednesday I'll be aiming for 9 reps per set

Glad to hear it Tim. I am really enjoying my journey into fullbody as well.

that's a great first start. You and Carl are really rocking the time. You have this old man beat.

you will progress fast on squat and ohp weight i know i did

[bigtim27]

I rock the time but you rock the heavy ass weight. I wore my heart rate monitor and kept a close eye on the time between sets. This is my first time doing it and I was aiming for 50-55 minutes so I came in right where I wanted to. As time goes by and reps get higher and weight increases I could see this taking a bit more time but my goal is to always keep it between 45-60 minutes.

I'm still a work in progress with squat but today my form felt really good and I had some gym vets looking on and they said it was ok.

Pushing some real weight on the big moves will probably keep the time around an hour. Thats still a solid goal. The full version of the intermediate can probably be kept at around 75 minutes.

Reeves own version of his intermediate was said to take him around 2+ hours to work. Wait till I write the advanced version.
