Whoever mentioned the pyramid approach to things like squats and pushups recently, thank you very much.

It has noticeably helped me deal with plateaus with those exercises, and I now have a date with a fit older lady in a few days. She was saying I looked like I was losing weight and packing on muscle more.

And aside from all that good stuff, I just feel less shitty when working now, because I crank out a pyramid before breakfast.
