45 secs rest after each exercise

Squats 3x10@120 supersetted
Seated Cable Row 3x10@150

Supine Hip Extension 3x10@15 supersetted
DB Push Press 3x10@45

Rotational Lunge 3x12@30 (2-15 lb dumbbells) supersetted
Ball Crunch 3x10@45

Today was one of those days where I did NOT want to work out. I felt tired and lacking of energy... Well, let me tell ya, after a session with my therapist (yes, iron is my therapist), I feel great. Energized, relaxed, and in a much better mood. Still working on form for the lunges but they're coming along. The rest of the exercises in this set don't suffer from form problems, but it actually feels like I'm getting close to the ceiling of how much I can improve. Like NROL states, I try to use the highest amount of weight I can and do the program's reps and rests as written. So while it's not training to failure, I can honestly say I'm real happy when I put the weights down. lol The other issue was a confidence one - nearing the end of this program I felt apprehensive about the shorter rests and heavier weights, but I just kept my progression constant and it felt like I got a good workout. Not a bad way to finish off the week's workout.
