I've decided to give it a real go. Here's the deal. I've hit a plateau in a number of muscle groups and wanted something to help break through that. With a lot of help from farmerson12 and some reading and thinking, I've decided on a hybrid based on the program seen here: http://www.defrancostraining.com/art...dgainersq.html
As that article says, the program is designed for athletes, so leaves room for sport-specific training days and whatnot. I went on to read the WS4SB Part 2 and Part 3 articles as well, and added some things from the variations listed in those, based mostly on the facts that I don't get much physical activity in outside of the gym and that I would like some more specific arm/shoulder work (what the third article calls "vanity work").
Just to let everyone know, I'm going to do my best to focus on form while sort of re-starting myself for this program, so my numbers will probably be pretty low, especially in deadlift, since I haven't really done much of that. Also, this will be my first time really going after any maximal weight reps, so I'm not sure how courageous I'll be starting that.
I start this thing for real tomorrow, and we'll see how everything goes!
