I can confirm that after 2 days of Dumbbell Strength my arse is SORE. Days 1 and 2 have a combined 85 goblet squats, 40 RDLs, 20 RFESS (per leg), and 25 walking lunges (per leg). For me the squat depth on goblet squats vs traditional back squats is night and day. I'm attributing my sore arse mostly to that added range.

Really looking forward to the rest of the program. This soreness feels like a good pain. It's not like the pain I've had in my elbows from overuse. Figure if I'm sore, then I'm working muscles that have been neglected.

Day 16 70s big done. Good chest day. I mixed in some ab and flys in between sets. Big leg day looming tomorrow.

777, can you shoot me your email? I have a question for you.

LOL - my wife says i have zero arse so maybe this program will help. Out of town so will plan to get this one and start up in a week or so. Going to be good to get out from under the bar and let my elbow and shoulder feel better

I took the day off from the gym yesterday as planned. Instead I carried a sandbag with me to the park and did a circuit workout with bodyweight and sandbag exercises. 3 rounds of burpees-jumps in each circuit set SUCKED. However, being outside in the cool weather sweating and watching the sun come up was amazing. I think I'll try to do this more often on "off" days.

Dumbbell Strength W1D3

Just like days 1 and 2, today was another good one. Grip issues have gotten better as I didn't really notice issues until the last 2 sets of shrugs during 'cardio'. This plan really allows you to push the weights since it's all fill-in-the-blank instead of set %s. While I mostly like this, it did bite me in the arse on the lat raises/front raises superset. I was too ambitious and went too heavy on set 1; sets 2 and 3 suffered because of it. Everything else went as planned.

I'm really loving the intensity of this program. I was a little hesitant on it as I like a nice balanced barbell plan with the big 3 (squat, deadlift, and bench press). However this plan is hitting everywhere nicely. Definitely going to get it the rotation on a regular basis.
