What are your plans after you are finished the program? Are you doing it again or doing something else? Also, what have you thought of it - have you noticed a lot of changes in your body, weight etc?
Yeah I had to pause in the middle of some sets and a bunch of my rests were longer than 30 seconds. The only set I got through easily was right after I got in an argument with one of the owners of my gym about putting a clock on the wall in the free weight area, but that's another story. I did push ups on the bench. I knew I couldn't do 15 reps any lower.

I am not sure about what I'm doing after. I bookmarked a thread on here with lots of ideas. I have found that my cardio endurance has really gone down (did the couch to 5k program right before this) so maybe I will work on that for a bit. I only have time to exercise 3 days per week right now so I have to pick carefully. I've only been following the exercise portion of the program not the diet. I haven't lost weight but I have lost fat and gained muscle for sure.

What about you? Its cool to find someone at the exact same point in the program.
