I don't seem to be improving so want to train a bit smarter. Needs to be relatively easy to follow, I'm much more likely to stick with it if it's not overly complicated. Many thanks

And there's the infamous Hadd document too. Which may not meet your requirement of "not overly complicated" - but isn't very long, and then can be re-read to get the important stuff (and leave out the stuff about rats running on treadmills etc.) www.electricblues.com/html/Hadd.doc And come and visit us on the HR thread too.
