These were instructors classes taught by Master Glenn C Wilson, former student of Grandmaster Daniel K. Pai.
I participated in Wilson's classes during the end of 1995 and first half of 1996.

In the Beginning.......
What wonderful words, "In the Beginning". What more powerful and perfect way to begin a book, no The Book.
So many truths are poured into the very first verse of the very first chapter of the Book of Books. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
That one verse tells us that there was a beginning, a starting point for time. There was a starting point for matter, God created the heavens and the earth. There was a starting point for space, God created the Heavens. And before that starting point, that beginning there was God.
The Apostle John elaborates on this truth when he writes the first verse of the Gospel of John.
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God".
Before there was time, space or matter there was God the Father and God the Son.
In Genisis 1:2 we are given just a touch more... "the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters" God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit were all present and involved in the creation of time, space and matter...

Staight Foreward & Simple
Ya' that pretty well describes me, but that is not the topic at this moment.
I had an emailer ask what my normal (prefered) lifting routine consisted of these days and it is best described as "Straight foreward & simple".
Monday:
Shoulder press
Bench
Chins
Squats super-setted with Pullovers
Wednesday
Curls
Prone Triceps press
Standing Calf Raises
Seated Calf Raises
Friday
Shoulder Press
Bench
Chins
Deadlifts super-setted with Pullovers
All exercises are done using a 5x5 scheme with the last two sets as the true working sets. Rest is kept to 60 seconds. It doesn't have to be fancy to work. The rule is simple "Go Heavy or Go Home".
An my off days I am currently doing Tabata Protocols using a Schwinn Recumbant Bike.
I also teach my son and one of his friends Tong yi Ch'uan-fa three days a week.
I am getting older and don't recover as quickly as the kids do so

X-adaptation
I am taking a 3 week break from the 5x5 lifting routine I have been training with of late and trying out the X-adaptation program.
X-adaptation is a system designed by Oliver Wolter. The workouts are short a intense, starting from the first exercise which is done in SUPER SLOW motion and ends with a 15 second static contraction on the last exercise.
Each muscle group is gets three sets without without a break. While it take a few workouts to get the super/slow set timing correct (60 seconds up/60 seconds down), the workouts only take about 20 minutes total, so you can be in and out of the gym in no time.
If you need regular days each week to train you WILL not like Wolter's routine as the number of rest day vary each week.
I loved the pump I acheived using the system and plan to use it as my fallback routine.
If you are looking for a real change you can sign up for the short email course at http://www.e-size.com . Once there you can download the initial pdf with week one and the general routine outline after that you will get an email the day before each of the next 5 workouts.
I am not receiving any commission or kickbacks for this recommendation, I just think it's worth a few weeks if you want a change and some fun.
May the Lord bless you and your household.
