I believe he did and I emailed you about it. Somewhere he got lost in the shuffle, perhaps something server side on yours or his part.

Sigh. I don't see the reason why people are randomly compelled to do 5 sets and then 4 sets and then 3 sets and then like randomly pick 3-5 reps for exercises.

I've already discussed this with each of the threads here, but really you don't need to get EVERYONES critique on it. JUST TRY IT.

If it's too much you can cut back. If it's not enough then add some more. Make sure it's intense and you're getting enough rest. But don't let it excessively be more than an hour.

It doesn't need to be overly complicated especially at novice and intermediate level strength.
