[RockShawn]

Nothing better than arm pump. I think Arnold was right when he described it like an orgasm.

Stay focused and find your motivation. I was like you described a few nights ago, tonight. Tired, worn out but on made it to the gym. Then every set about the time I wanted to give up, I'd think of Grim and his determination and it helped me push through. I also watched a video with Team Hoyt today, that story pumps me up so much.

No Excuses, Get it done!

Yea......Kill it!

The plan is pretty good. It's hard to set up a good routine with doing 2x a week. I like the rotation of the muscle groups in the set ups. Anybody can honestly pick apart any workout routine that somebody sets up....there are just so many schools of thoughts, and everyone has their favorite "caveat" they like to hold on to. Your routine looks pretty well rounded. I'm assuming the Heavy sets are 6-8 reps and the others are at 12-15reps. (I know, it should be obvious, but I mentioned it so no-one else does)

TSizemoreThanks man, yeah any routine can be picked, I haven't tried twice a week in a while so I figure I'd see how it plays out. And nah, I do a lot of power work so my heavy sets are more so in the 1-5 range with lighter sets being 8-15. This almost goes way back to when I first started my journey at 160 lbs and my routine was push, pull, off, legs. Really helped build my foundation, this is obviously modified and slightly more advanced, but on the same principle
