T,
you guys do the coolest workouts! 4 days in a row like that sounds rough. Is is manageable? I've thought about implementing a 4-day cycle for times when I'm too busy to complete my previous 3 day cycle. Let me know how it goes and if it seems like too much for a body to handle. Thanks!

Cj, I'll let you know after today (4th day). But I can tell you that it's not the best. I like 3 days on 1 off the 2 days on and 1 off. Even at that I need to take a couple of days in a row every two weeks or so. I'm 45 though, it might be different for you.
Michael, yea it was as perscribed and my shoulders were very tired for the OHS x5 we did yesterday. It was fun though, I could really feel my progress from the last time I did something with heavy cleans.

Great commentary about counting one's blessings. Charles Dickens once said somewhere, "Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your misfortunes, of which all men have some." You and Charlie have philosophies in common!
