Trog Log: Transforming a 170-pound weakling into a highland athlete.

[LitTrog]

Shaking it up is good, but the truth is that your paycheck will be based on the good old regulars... squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press. So don't ignore those if you possibly can.

Nope, I'm wedded to those movements. I was thinking more in terms of prescribed, structured sets and reps, kind of like what o1d dude has working. Getting into my "gym" is never a problem--my sweet disposition suffers if I don't push stuff around, which means my wife has to put up with a grumpy little turd, which means the rest of me suffers even more. I tend to just attack whichever exercise sounds good, keeping mostly in line with the push, pull, etc. that you laid out for me. Last thing I want is for my body to grow too accustomed to a regimen. That's when I find myself sliding into "maintenance" mode. Then I get bored. Then I get lazy.
