My Recent Plan: The 20 Rep Squat HLM Full Body Workout (July '13)

This full body workout is one I have been dedicated to since March.  "Day A" is the heavy training day with simple, heavy compound movements.  "Day B" is the lighter training day with higher rep sets.  "Day C" is the medium training day with moderate rep ranges with primarily heavy compound lifts.  The key component of this workout is starting with a leg exercise, especially the 20 rep squat on the last day.  For some days, I occasionally change the exercise, such as "Goodmornings" for Deadlift.  Core-exercises are added twice per three-day rotation, as well.  I have definitely felt and observed improvements in overall strength and suggest this workout to anyone looking to drastically change up their routine.
