I always do deadlifts with a barbell. i tried db and found it to be easier (especially on the shins!) but i found that the BB lends itself to better form and as such, better (and safer) results. Regarding the workouts, I have questions myself...in fact I emailed Lou Schuler and was assured that any combination will show results provided you do the work, the recovery and manipulate your calorie/protein intake appropriately. I, like you, am not concerned with FL right now. That and the rule in the book stating that to build muscle, we need to build strength, I opted to go with strength followed by hyp followed by FL just in time to lean out for the summer....anyway, good luck, brother...and have fun!

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay - I've a very young kid at home so getting a change to go to the gym is lucky enough, never mind getting a chance to read up on things online!
I'm splitting my days between two different gyms as they both have machines which the other one doesn't have.
It's pretty impressive that you can email Lou directly, bearing in mind that the book only costs a few pounds over here the overall package and service (with this forum included) is first class.
Good luck with it and thanks again,
C
