I finally got around to going over this thread in detail. I sure have a lot to think about now.

311, we were getting along so well and now you have me doing all this studying! Damn you. I feel like I should be getting college credits.

I'm looking in to how I can use this. I don't want to give up the things that work for me, but I think I can benefit from these ideas as long as I keep in mind the things I already know about myself. Whatever I come up with, I'll try to stay true to the concept. Like Bruce Lee said: the ultimate knowledge is self-knowledge.

Looks like it's sustainable over the long-run, which I like. Also, anything with squats as the core excercise appeals to me. I've had a hang-up about squat frequency for a while, this has helped. Also with the headaches (see Squat Headache thread).

One problem is my calves. They're long and skinny. I've been able to bring them up by basically beating them to death as often as possible with fairly high reps and multiple sets. (yes, folks, calves will grow - how much, I don't know). I'll have to find a way to keep my calf training up. I don't want to be walking around with big thighs with sticks under them again.

Thanks for all the info.
