Hey Carne, I'm using machines, 1 set each on 6-8 exercises with one or two of the machines being large compound (for example, the leg press and pull down) and the rest fairly isolated. All to concentric failure, plus one or two forced reps on most of them. It's a short workout but brutal.

As for how I look - I'm about a size smaller in jeans (12-14 women's or 32" relaxed men's, depending on brand) and my shape has certainly adjusted. Mostly, I'm just harder all over and much stronger.
