You could attribute the clear progress I made this week to two things. First, I did not do a 'starter' like last week. Second, when you first start a new routine you invariably seem to get some benefits as 'pathways' are established - even seasoned gym-goers benefit from this because you can't regularly do every possible exercise.
That said, I still feel good about this. I am looking forward to next week.
Oh - and my copy of BBS arrived today.

Let us know what you think of the book.
One warning - the photos of the free weight exercises are crap.
Everything else is good
