Having finished one phase of my training, the question is whether I should take a little time off before starting the next phase. Two weeks of low-weight, high rep total body workouts, 3 weeks of mid-range reps split into upper/lower (although I skimped on the lower...

Man, this weather has been awful. May has been an average month in terms of inches of rainfall, but from mid-april through until this week, it has only rained on Wednesdays and weekends. This past weekend it started to rain, and it is not supposed to stop for at least...
