I'm glad it's not just me. Took me way too long to do. Special ultra win points being the first to mention it!
You become very used to short rests Delvis, I was used to 2-3 minutes before and although the first time under 90s was an interesting experience within a couple of weeks I was getting restless after 60s.
Sounds nice.
I just need to man up and have shorter rest periods
It's not really the same as you're not intending to do another 'proper' set after the rest, it's more like an AMRAP set with a couple short breathers. I tend to count 12-15 breaths, depending how derp'd I am.

Yes.
Weight this morning: 81.2kg, fatties gonna fat.
Did another B workout this morning. I'm still just trying to work out each exercise, lot's of new stuff for me as up until now I've kind of been like "If I can't do it in a squat rack with a barbell it ain't worth doin'"!
Exercise Set Style Target Reps
Not sure on DC so far. It's pretty weird, walking in and going straight to Bicep exercises makes you feel like a major phaggot, and you don't really get much pumpage throughout so I look like a DYEL the whole time
. it is quick though and BennyC likes it so it must be true.

Can confirm, am mincer training biceps first and also stretching after
You redeem yourself with this workout though due to the widowmaker so it's all good.
Usually spend a minute or two lying down after my widowmaker, srs.
B workouts aren't great for pump, except for legs, pump pls. Depending on your exercise selection you can get a joocey pump on for the A workouts.
Stick with it, it's quite rewarding seeing the progression, providing you're eating well and getting adequate rest the numbers rise fairly consistently I've found.

Tasty looking session.
Hopefully the progression methods are making sense?it's pretty black & white.
Not really, it's not really mentioned in the SS article. Just going by feel atm.
Anyway I did a B workout this morning, I've done 3 variants of each now so more or less have my exercise selection.

What's this B6, I hope you mean B3?
Basically now you've done 3 x A and 3 x B workouts you're in the position to either (depending on each lift)
- use the same weight and aim for more reps, or
- use more weight for the same/more reps (It'll be quire rare to use more weight & get more reps but does happen.)
If forearm isolation feels pointless, which is mostly is, switch it out for something else. I went full bro and use one suprinated curling motion and one semi/hammer grip motion.

B-Something. Who knows, the last B workout. Just read the T-Nation article it's got a better selection of exercises so I might swap out a few yet. But will start 'properly' next week A1/B2/A3/B4/A5/B6. Might move a few things about within the A's/B's (Bench/OHP/CGBP is too much in one session imo) but other than that I'm hot to trot.
Be interesting how much progress I make considering I'm still on perma-cut mode.
Label them A1/A2/A3 B1/B2/B3 phaggot. Otherwise it emplies you have 6 A & B workouts
A1/B1 A2/B2 A3/B3
Yeah, just find exercises that work for you. I try to arrange the exercise/workout order so that I don't end up with one really taxing session and one really easy one. Keep it nice and balanced where you can.
I think you'll really struggle with this whiel cutting, if you're pushing yourself really hard you'll plateau quickly if your not eating enough and not recovering properly. I know, as I experienced this the first time and I wasn't even cutting! This is a programme to make sickening gains on, don't waste it
