    The routine is not supposed to be a powerlifting one.

    I'll give it a go anyways, and see if I like it or not.

    I'll probably try your method later on too (I'm very open to stuff, and I always like to try something new).

    Will do

    Starting on monday (love squats)!!

    Thou the first week I will not count as a week on the routine since it's kind of an 'adjustment' week.

    I will have to try to figure out what weight to work with because "under 4 reps = too heavy, and over 6 = too light".

    Maybe I'll start a log, dunno yet.

    I don't think I made myself clear- when training in the 4-6 rep-range you cannot expect to train all out and keep your joints healthy. Power-lifters rarely train all out in the 4-6 rep-range. Bodybuilders train all out and need to doing higher reps to maintain tendons/joints.

    It's not that 4-6 reps won't build muscle size because they will but it will hurt your joints over time. The injuries could be permanent! There's no value in jumping from one routine to the next because genetics (not various training methods) is the determining factor in how big you will become.
