Heavy day = bust it out. Medium day = work hard, but leave a little in the tank. Light day = put in some effort but make it about a 6 to 7/10. @Diana: Scale your effort to the day.

I've been lifting since college, but have decided to get organized and start following the above workout routine. My main question is: How do I know how much to lift on a heavy, light, and medium day? I assume heavy days entail lifting to the point of exhaustion (cannot complete final rep), but what about the medium and light days? Thanks for your help! You rock! Hi Krista,

Start slightly bent at the hips, with the bar lower down the thighs -- around mid-thigh is fine. Shrug up and drive the hips forward at the same time. A shrug is just a shrug. You start standing upright, with the bar somewhere around your hip crease or the top of your thighs (depending on how long your arms are) and only the shoulders move upwards.

I've asked some of my friends who weight lift, and I've looked online, but I can't quite get a hold on what the difference is between a shrug and a power shrug. Could you help me out?

I've been following this program for like 10 weeks now and trying to eat clean and whatnot. I've definitely had some positive changes, but none that made me as excited as this: I jokingly attempted a pullup over the weekend and guess what? I did one! And then three more! My first pullups! Joy! Hey, I just wanted to add a quick update here because I am super-psyched! I’ve been following this program for like 10 weeks now and trying to eat clean and whatnot.

If something is working well and there is adequate variation within the program (in other words, you're not doing the same movements or level of intensity every single time) there is no reason to change it, other than psychological variety. I'd say go with 12 weeks and then see how you feel. 6 weeks isn’t that long.
