Starting Hypertrophy I

Today was the beginning of my next lifting phase.  I'm doing Hypertrophy I from New Rules of Lifting.  It was strange doing only 5 reps.  Also, I didn't care much for the alternating set of bench press and high pull both needing the barbell.  Otherwise, it was a great workout.  I started with the warm up from Female Body Breadthrough, which took 20 minutes.  I hope with practice the time for that will come down.  The lifting part took me 1:12.  I used the 90 second breaks to foam roll.  That worked out really well.  I subbed the Swiss ball rollout from FBB for the Swiss crunches.
