I made a big mistake. 
Actually I’ve been making a big mistake these last two months.
I decided to follow the workout program of my favorite bodybuilder.
(Yes, I have a favorite body builder…nothing wrong with that)
Here’s the deal…
I’m a big Serge Nubret fan.
So when I saw that Serge was a big fan of high volume, short rest, long workouts, I thought…’hey…if it’s good enough for Serge!’
BIG MISTAKE
Following the workout of your favorite Actor / Body Builder / Fitness Celebrity makes about as much sense as going out and buying a Ferrari 575M Maranello because that’s the car Will Smith Drives (well, he drove it in Bad Boys II).
You probably can’t afford it, and it’s not going to miraculously turn you into Will Smith.
Same thing goes for work outs.
Workouts can improve the body you have, but they can’t magically change your body into somebody else’s body.
(I hope that makes sense)
So here’s the deal, just like your diet, your workout has to fit YOUR specific goals and needs.
Now, I’m not saying this style of work out isn’t effective, but I know I do not have the ability to dedicate 2 hours to a workout 6 times a week.
I also know from previous experience I don’t enjoy these types of workouts (High reps and long workouts are not my thing).
So lesson learned for me – You have to figure out what works for you and what FITS for you.
For me it’s Compound Cluster Cycles.
So it’s back to Anabolic Again with a goal of slightly tweaking it so I can do it for more than 16 weeks at a time.
Bottom line – Figure out what works for you, and what FITS…it doesn’t matter if it’s the best workout in the world, if it doesn’t fit into your life..you’re probably not going to do it / enjoy it.

PS- If you have a trainer this is really important – did he or she design your program because it’s what’s best for YOU, or because it’s what THEY are currently ‘in to’?
