New Workout--It's a good hurt

Oh boy. I always get excited when I start a new program, and this one's a doozy. I've always hated the waiting between sets, so I don't. I do an unrelated muscle group between sets. First of all, I don't have any time to waste standing around. Second of all, it keeps the heart rate up there, burning more Calories while I'm gaining muscle.

This one I'm on requires pushups immediately after each set of bench press. This causes near-total failure at each set. On squats, I have to immediately do jump squats after racking the weight. Another day calls for clap pushups to failure (I went from 23 the first time to 26 last time). I hit every muscle group at least 2-3 times per week, resulting in a sort of perma-pump.

It feels good, and I have way more energy due to the faster metabolism the program requires of the body. If you'd like a good, industrial-strength workout, let me know and I'll shoot it to you for $10.
