Starting this next week. Looking forward to it Body matrix seems intriguing. Never done those....

Sounds like you got your time well-spent at the gym.

That body weight matrix at the end of workout A almost had me in tears. I consider myself a masochist, but this was taking it to a whole new level.

WORKOUT:
One-Armed DB Snatch- 1x6x12, 1x6x15, 1x6x20

DB Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift- 3x6 each legx20 db's
Barbell Bent-Over Row- 1x6x65, 1x6x75, 1x6x85

DB Single-Arm Overhead Squat- 3x6 each combo.x12db/25/db
DB Incline Bench Press- 3x6x25 db's

Plank- 2x90 seconds, 1x120 seconds
Side Plank- 3x60 sec. each side w/3db scoops

Body Weight Matrix:
24 Squats, 24 total Alt. Lunges, 24 total Alt. Jump Lunges, 24 Jump Squats- 1st matrix- 3 mins. 45 secs. 2nd matrix- 4 mins. 35 secs.

One armed DB snatch-Started out with too light of weight, will definitely be doing this set with 20's +.
Side Plank-Did these instead of the called for woodchoppers because as mentioned before, don't have a mid-cable pulley and I don't dig doing them on a ball. Feel the side planks w/scoops are just as effective for me.
Body Weight Matrix-Allow me to repeat again how much this sucked! The second time around equated to knowingly squirting lemon juice in your eye.

Complaints aside, it was a killer workout and I'm excited to have the weekend to recover!

Food today was good, same old-same old, but I am foreseeing a couple glasses (bottles?) of wine in my future this evening. I've eaten really light today and after this afternoon's butt-kicking, feel like I've got the calories to spare!
