Comments: Well, Strength III is completed. Wow! As I started to put this report together, I pulled out my logs for SI and SIII and it dawned on me that I hit a shitload of PRs by either equalling or improving the best I have ever done on some of these exercises. Needless to say, I was very pleased since I am not real good at upper body strength. What happens in Strength III remains to be seen.

Very nice numbers! Great job!

Very nice numbers indeed!! It must have been nice to realize that most of those were PR's afterwards.

Were you able to add those additional exercises through most/all of the workouts? Or did you find that some days you had already hit your limit?
