Exercises During Density Training

Q: Again I have to say thank you for your books. I say that because I was mislead thru the years. And I feel that reading your books and my experiences have given me tools I wished I had 20 years ago.

My Answer: Looks good, D.  The only thing I would add are compound sets or trisets for the chest and triceps in Workout #1. 

Also, with regards to the biceps triset in Workout #2, rearrange the order as 1) Zottman curls, 2) Body Drag Curl and 3) Lying Cable Curls.  You'll get more of a pump that way.

Other than that it, looks good.  You've learned well, Padawan.
