I’m on a new program that emphasizes only compound movements, push pull for a more condensed workout, and plenty of rest (only 3 days a week in the gym.)  Usually only 30-45 minutes in they gym because many lifts are superset in an agonist / antagonist fashion (push/pull.)  The intensity is also altered every day, so I have one high intesnsity, one medium, and one low intensity day every week.  I can already tell changes are taking place.  Today was low intensity and I just did palms-in close grip incline dumbbell bench superset with close grip supanated barbell rows, 5 sets of 8.  I pushed the weight up to numbers I’ve never hit before, numbers I never imagined possible at this point in my program.  Did 165 8 times on the bent over rows and 50 lb dumbbells on incline palms-in press.  Wow…  I just can’t wait to see what I look like in a couple months.  I’m going to really get my money’s worth with 5×8 so I’ll probably stay on it for at least 3 weeks before I go down to 6×6.  I may even go to 5 reps for 7 sets because I really like training in the strength bracket, and my body reacts to it very positively, so I’ll see.  I might just do it for one week but my main goal right now is size so I don’t want to linger in the strength bracket for too long.  Anyway…  New program, new looks, new me!
