Ok so this was brutal. After the press my shoulders and triceps were on fire, but I hit all my reps so I'm glad I didn't start too high. After the flyes my chest was exploding and so I decided to just go for a PR on squats instead of run the x5-5-5-5-5+ template just this once. Chin ups were an abomination, I had less than a minute rest between sets and so I just tanked on them. My forearms and biceps were flamed after curls.
First impressions of this routine: I like it a lot from this first look. I'm using weights that are a challenge to my strength, and because it's focused on volume it means I can keep good form and simply temper my workouts via intensity and move up at my own pace. Need to get used to the higher endurance of the program, so I'm definitely going to low-ball the numbers and work my way into it. Starting too high is the death of many routines.
