Well done! How are you liking Iron Heart? I did Ironborn a few years ago and really liked it. Some friends noticed changes in my arms. I may have to check out Iron Heart, as well.

I like it so far. I chose it over Ironborn, because, reading the description, made me think it was "to failure" exercises. Those give me diminishing returns. I might switch to Ironborn after I finish Iron Heart
