Did you use small increment weights and the trap bar? I'm about half way through the book but still confused about setting up a weeks workout. Mind showing me the one you used when you used his?
I didn't add 1 or 2 lbs at a time if that's what you're asking. I never got around to buying smaller increment weights. I usually went with a 5 lb increase on small lifts and a 10 lb increase on bigger lifts. I did use a trap bar when available and it is a whole lot easier than traditional DL's with a BB. Also good for shrugs. But of course most gyms don't have them so I usually don't use it. I've used several workouts, but the one I used the most and had the most success with looked like this.
It's a 3-Days-a-Week program (MWF)
Monday

1. Squat or Leg Press
2. SLDL
3. Pulldown or Prone Row
Wednesday (accessory day)
Warm-Up
1. Calf Work
2. Crunches
3. Grip Work
4. Side Bend
5. Curl
6. Neck Work
7. L-Fly
Friday

2. Overhead Press
Basically your workout is based around a few key lifts. The Accessory day in between is used to strengthen those muscles surrounding the key muscles used on the heavier lifts. This type of workout is intended to give you a max amount of rest with minimum overlap between workouts. High Intensity, low volume. Diet will be very, very important as well. May not seem like much, but if you are a hardgainer, trust me, it works. If I forgot anything, let me know. It's been a while since I've done this particular routine.
