I’m new to the board, but have been reading the site for about a year. This is truly the best resource I have ever found. I was hoping I could get some feedback on my current routine. I am training for fitness, but want both strength and endurance. I’m very busy and have lousy sleep so I have some recovery problems when I train too much. The good thing is that my nutrition is excellent. My current routine incorporates the squat and deadlift program prescribed in Ian King’s bring the pain part 2 and CT’s energy system training. Any feedback would be great.
