Yeah, one of my friends keeps trying to encourage me to try conjugate method, but it does seem pretty intimidating.

when I need a break from heavy singles

That's how I've felt this past year. I'm maintaining ok but haven't actually tried to make progress since September last year. Injuries, aches and pains, weird sleep schedule, all sorts of stuff in the way of lifting at 100%.

But it's all temporary. I'm mostly recovered from my injuries, and just need to find the time in my schedule to consistently go at least 3 times a week.

Thanks for posting, though. Keeps a level of motivation for those of us who mostly lurk.
