    That was a great squat session. Your work capacity is impressive.
    Do you do any additional conditioning training on days that you do not lift?

    [Blushes] Plan A is to do a brisk walk 5 days a week. Doesn't happen. Things should get better very soon with the swimming season about to start. At the moment, all i am doing is daily home gardening (which by the way is ideal for workout recovery.) Thanks for your kind words Fred.
    Incidently, in all my workouts i never sit down, just walk up and down, and go on the next set as soon as i can. I think this makes for good conditioning.

    I agree with Fred that the WO is impressive. There sure are different opinions on resting between set time.

    There sure are different opinions on resting between set time.
    Dead right Jerry, and i'm in a minority. Here on Starting Strength, the advice is 5 to 10 minutes sitting down between heavy sets. And sure, it works. Peak results, far outstripping what i can do.
    And Olympic Weightlifters, with their row of chairs behind each platform, sitting on which seems to be their greatest time investment.
    I was infected by the P.H.A. system long ago, so that is how i manage myself.
