I'm just starting the program, into it one week and so far so good. The challenge is to find the time to do the workouts and not get sidetracked with Olympic hockey games. I discussed this program with a trainer I've worked with previously and he said it was quite good, but that the key was the eating plan...follow that and you'll have really good results. I agree that it's good to shake things up a bit, so I'm taking a break from the gym to do the program.

I have the Perfectpullup system, which is srewed into the frame of the door, as the regular bar wouldn't fit the moulding on the door. It's not the best system, especially for wide grip, but the best I could manage.

My question is that I am not very proficient at doing pull-ups of any substance, so am starting with the bands. I bought a black band (up to 100 lbs resistance) from Fitterfirst and use that, but would like to increase the resistance of the bands...any suggestions out there on how to do this?

Thanks guys!!
