My ego is so big right now I want to kick my own ass.
This morning at the gym at very good looking young lady approached me. She said, "excuse me, being that your are obviously very fit, do you mind if I ask you a question"
Talk about a motivator, two weeks into IM and I became an animal, I added two extra supersets at the end of the routine this morning.
Whew hew!

That's awesome Rookie. It is validating when you get that kind of comment.
IM is "iron manual" right?
Are you doing it by the book are have you modified it in any way?

I am curious, what did you add. When I started this program I had trouble finishing the included exercises for 3 sets. That Phase was a KILLER!

I added two sets of dumbell bench presses, using the heaviest load from my last set of the IM circuit and two sets of incline bench leg raises.
And yes, JP that is Iron Manual. Last week I could hardly get through it, The key was my lunges, I was going to heavy. I dropped back 5 lbs and am having better success.

That's when the funky music started, the disco ball dropped from the ceiling, and Rookie started dancing, pealing off his clothes while rapping, "Yo, abs are made in the kitchen bee-aaach!"
