I love the Density cycle, however, it would be better with  heavier clubs. I haven't been feeling a big boost in CNS or testosterone while just using the 15#s. Don't get me wrong, utilizing CST methods, I have increased my KB stuff. I felt real strong today. I feel the problem is that I have completed the entire TBF in 28 minutes with the 15#s. Now I am breaking it down and its not as rough except for Mills. This will probably change when i get under 10 Minutes. I can wait!
The compensatory exercise are really working.
