Rating: I modified the Train program so much that I decided to rename the new program to the Hill. I tried to combine the getting up to speed portion of the Train with the strength training portion of the Pedestal and TPRU. Click here to see an explanation of the other programs.
Doing the harder programs has made me stronger as it doesn't hurt as much to do them now. The Train didn't really seem to be meeting my needs anymore, especially since I'm trying to make my workouts harder in order to start losing weight again.
Here are some comparisons of the Hill to the other programs.
| Program | Resistance Units (RU) | Percent of Total Possible RU |
|---|---|---|
| TPRU | 480 | 100% |
| Pedestal | 289 | 60.21% |
| Hill | 254 | 52.92% |
| Train | 150 | 31.25% |
Finally, some pictures to wrap it all up. Note the symmetry I put into my programs - yet another of my OCD tendencies.
