Have you ever tried madcows 5x5? Simple and sticks to the basics. I'm going to run it post cut

That home gym sounds damn good Popeye. Let me know how the pilates goes, i imagine it will be humbling at first.

haha yeah it is harder than I thought! even breaking a sweat!

I feel like im learning more body awareness though, focusing on the "powerhouse" "box" etc.. all the little muscles.. I'm still a rank beginner.. I used some of the ideas tought through pilates during todays squats and it made them feel REALLY light (using core etc). Got a new dvd coming thats about the reformer machine I got.. seems a little intimidating..
