What do you think of Dr Doug McGuff body of science?

@yobolion You mean Body By Science? It's an excellent book.

Question, when you are writing down, are you recording weight + reps, or weight + time under load (TUL)? I see you start and stop your stopwatch often? Nice work by the way!!

@pbennett13 Thanks. The exercises and the weight I'll be using are already written down in my notebook prior to going to the gym. During the workout, I'm writing the number of reps and the TUL. The watch on my right wrist records the total time of the workout and average and maximum heart rates and I use the watch on my left wrist to measure the TUL.

Good workout there. Must be nice to have the gym all to yourself.

@Naturalhit Thanks. Having the gym to myself is great. If I go at the right times, it's almost always like this.

@MojoHaiku Thanks for your comment. I do a HIT weights workout once a week using an A, B, C, D routine, rotating the workout each time. My full routine is listed with the video. So, I do each workout roughly once a month. My training frequency equates to literally three sets a week as I don't do any 'warm up' sets.

@MENTZERSBOY Thanks Pavel. I hope things are going well for you.

@Cragails Thanks Craig. Yes, the leg press is always a sore one. I've still got soreness in my legs now. I like to think of my facial hair as 'designer stubble' rather than just avoiding having to shave every day!

@uncleavi2002 It does! I wear a heart rate monitor when I train and record average and maximum heart rates as well as the workout results.
