Today was a great workout … probably because I took yesterday off. Everything felt strong and I didn’t get fatigued til the very end. Maybe because I was drinking a intra carb supp :joy:

#344

Also after this week I’m Gunna start something different with my split… will look something like this

Chest/shoulders
Arms
Legs
Back

I never really dedicated a day to arms because normally I’d do tri exercises on chest days and bis on back day. But I think splitting it like this will be more beneficial. Doing my dead’s on back bis day now has been killing the rest of my workout afterwards. Putting dead’s and working legs on same day seems to make sense. We will see starting next week . Will finish this week with legs tomorrow.

Nice work! That moved very well for a PR, you got 700 by end of the year

Thanks man. 700 definitely doesn’t seem unrealistic anymore. And I’ll tell ya, it def looks more smooth watching it than it felt at the time lol.
