I like the idea of it being non-nonsense straight to the point but the workouts do not feel intense as they should be. I'm in the habbit anyway of noting down each weight and reps I do, then making each harder the following week.

I've got used to doing supersets and feeling satisfied after my workouts.

Am I having the right resting time? - I have two minutes after each set, and three minutes between exercises.

Overall the workout feels very short. I even had a spotter last night on incline bench and we got the weight just right when I failed 3 quarters of the way up on the fifth rep.

Today I feel full of energy with no soreness

Personally, I only rest 40 - 120 seconds between each set. Unless I'm doing Heavy lifts or Power lifts. I'll rest closer to 2 min between sets.

You can change up your reps and sets to get more of a pump. You can change up the weight and decrease rest time. You have to experiment a little to find what works for you.

Are you keeping a training journal and taken your measurements?

Lol. Everyone automatically picks B because it's so much easier than A. Switch to A for faster results.

 

[Duracell_Bunny]

Yeah think I might do that, B just doesn't seem to do it for me.

Bit confused though, is it defiantly 3x5 for option A. I've seen everywhere over the interweb its 5x5?

@GameTime76 yeah I always keep a journal. I get calliper tested about once a month. Right now I'm 165ibs at 13% bf.
