all-consuming neurosis. T h e defenses around the Witch's negative anima make the Wizard's guards and palace look inviting by comparison. W H O IS T H E HERO AT T H I S POINT? T h e three reluctant heroes evaluate the situation. T h e Lion wants to run, but the Scarecrow has a plan which requires Lion to be the leader. T h i s makes sense since he is the most ferocious-looking, but he still wants to be talked out of it.

Team members make sure all are in agreement about goals, and determine that the right people are in the right jobs. There may even be bitter battles for dominance among the group at this stage, as pirates or thieves fight for control of the adventure. However, here the Cowardly Lion's efforts to escape responsibility are comic, and point up another function of the Approach: comic relief. T h i s may be the last
Engaging in yet another power cycle immediately after a successful initial cycle is doomed to failure. The natural inclination is to be greedy and continue down the same path--that, however, is biological suicide. Science and empirical data have shown that the body needs 46 weeks to reset and regain its physiological bearings. The hypothalamus gland controls bodyweight, body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and circadian cycles. The interim phase allows the hypothalamus gland to recalibrate and readjust. It is equally important to "get away" from the three bench-press versions used in phase I. We also kick the reps upward. The ideal interim phase retains bench power by substituting heavy dumbbell pressing for barbell bench pressing. Allowing the body to "forget" the three exercises (competitive grip bench, wide grip bench, and narrow grip bench) makes these movements feel fresh and new when they are reinstituted in phase III, and the training effect is profound.
