Man this is gonna take me awhile to get caught up in here (and this log is only about 10 days old!) but I’m interested to see how it turns out as I might try a similar approach in the future.
Congrat SmallToBig. I must admit, I’m astonished by your results. Hell, in fact you’ve progressed more in just a few short weeks, than many gymgoers do in 1-2 years. Impressive!
Also, I read about the routine, and found it ehh. Unconventional. Compared to the once per week splits. Have some weighlifting buddies who really train their legs every workout.

I must admit the start of this ramp is not going as well as i like. The sudden nearly doubling of work really shocked the f*ck out of my body took me till yesterday to finally start getting some weight back.
Also one stupid thing i forgot, i have put on 43lbs but didn’t account for that via extra protein or fats… probably why my body has been lethargic as hell recently… have adjusted it to account so hopefully my body will stfu and keep lifting more weight !
I dislike accounting for bad days lol why the log has been slow this week, i’m an extremely competitive person failure doesn’t sit well with me.
Hopefully today will go swimmingly Sumos boo ya ! Though every part of me is sore lol but f*ck it
Must admit i wasn’t planning on Rack Chins didn’t think i could do them… but the Row Machine was taken so i said i’d try no need to type it out if i failed
Turned out i FLEW on the bodyweight… i’m so proud lol didn’t think i’d be strong enough.
Found a better way to stabilize myself on the Incline so not so unsteady so all in all today was a FANTASTIC day, long may they continue.
Going to enjoy my ONE day off, next week promises to be hell on earth with halving the rest YOUCH but means to an end just gotta keep going.

Holy crap man are you sure about it being 800g? Thats almost 2lb. of beef with half a pound of cheese haha. I had some ground beef with cheese about an hour ago actually and it was amazing…unfortunately it was only about a 10th of the amount.
