I can see why this forum is not highly populated.

I'm redesigning my workout schedule since after rereading most of Thomas Kurz's articles I see many errors in it. I'll update this thread once I have finished.

Please do. Those articles are packed with info, aren't they? Too much to absorb on one reading. I think you'll find that posting your workouts will be worth the effort. Kurz has made helpful comments in response to my workout posts.

Yes, his articles are so packed with information that I keep reading them over and over again and I learn something new every time.
