I admit it - I LOVE doing that lift!!! I worry a little that I'll get too ambitious and hurt myself, but I try to be super-careful about my form... it's just so fun!

I felt so much more productive, like I was really working out instead of bopping around. What bugs me about 5B (I've thought a lot about it) is that the majority of what Alwyn put in it seem to me like exercises that I would do at higher reps (balance or pre-hab kinda things). So to do them at 4x4 with lots of rest makes no sense to me. On 4x4, I want to pull HEAVY weights. I'm not Alwyn and I know he had a good reason (???) but... that was my frustration. Give me the 5B stuff at sets of 15 with 45-60 seconds rest and I might not hate it, ya know?

Our dog is like that too. She gets really excited about things and does silly stuff, but as soon as the cat comes over, it's all business, you know, cuz the cat might stealz my bone. Funny creatures.
Your workout looks awesome. I'm glad you found a way to make it work for you and something you don't hate. Nothing sucks more than dreading workouts!

Thanks 'bout the dog - he is WEIRD! I showed the video to people at work and they all asked what's wrong with him
!! He is a character.
And thanks about the workout too... I spent years designing my own workouts (for me and my clients) - but I never had much skill at the big lifts and full-body moves like deads and squats... so this is TEH AWSUM that I'm learning how to incorporate that kind of stuff in... still used Alwyn's template (I did them today as A, B1 B2, C1 C2, etc) but... yeah... I'm babbling here
Tummy not happy today. Ate salmon over salad for lunch (at a restaurant), and I wonder if "rare" was not the way to go
. Had a sprint moment at the store about an hour ago - threw everything we had selected to my DD and ran for the restroom
. Bleh. Hope this settles down soon...
Probably no workout tomorrow cuz I have to work. Might try to sneak in SS cardio - if not, definitely doing a long one on Sunday...
