Probably a good system but it always felt weird trying to avoid the pump.

From reading some articles detailing Gajda's system it looks like he was doing about 130 total sets in his P.H.A. workouts.

He also did these workouts 6 days a week.

The first 4 sequences below are for Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

  I have one of his books somewhere in the house. pretty good info.
After discovering his articles in the old Peary and Mabel Iron Man mags, I wrote to him quite a bit......the guy gave me lots of good training info and fresh ideas, plus he sent me a lot of VHS tapes some with my man Jeff King.

I believe the tapes were copies that he made from Wayne Gallasch`s tapes that he sells (GMV).

He lived in Alaska which is almost like where I live too.......so there`s that.  :(

It`s been more frigid than my wife up here lately!!  :D
