Hi IP

How is your grandma?

Also, I notice on your leg day you show 3 x 3 in your exercises. Is that literally 3 sets by 3 reps? Just checking out your gym time for tips

HI MERMAID!!

My grandma is doing better, she was released from the hospital a few days ago and is now living in a Physical Therapy home. For a time we were worried about how negative she was and how down she was on herself and everyone else, but she seems to be through that now and is ready to get started with her PT and hopefully WALK again! So please continue to keep her in your thoughts and thanks so much for asking.

As far as the 3x3 goes: Yes, it is 3 sets of 3 reps each. I am doing madcow's 5x5 program (on EF), and there are a few weeks where the loads are a lot heavier, so the volume is decreased. I really enjoyed the the 5x5 program, but I am going to test out another program with slightly higher volume when I get back from my trip, to see how my body responds to a higher volume. Depending on the results of that, I will probably end up back into the 5x5 program, but turning it into a 5x7 program, instead.
