We build up for six weeks with a large variety of exercises then do it one more time with heavier weights. It sounds like a great periodization plan, I'm actually looking forward doing it. 18 different workouts sounds awesome to me!
The dips are easy to do anywhere, for back extension I got a roman chair but I could have used my Bosu just as well. Gotta love new toys..
Overall I can hardly wait, and might just start on Monday....
