you’re a beast 100 sets of 3, or 3 sets of 100?

3 sets of 100
Its a great warm up with a superlight weight that will build MMC no matter, plus it frys the traps pretty quick also

100 reps with almost 18 lbs in each hand? Apparently I’m very frail and weak because I couldn’t do 20 with any type of good form…

How are you recovering from this brutality? I imagine crippling soreness just reading your workouts.

My appt is August 14th. My hip hurts right now. I just got back from my leg session which was about the equivalent of your warm up in terms of volume :laughing:

The running at the end really topped the session off.

Pm training is heavy chest and tri’s tonight
Need a double scoop of sumfin because ive died in the arse as todays gone on

So a quick recap of the last 24 hours
I pretty much passed out last night after taking all my pre supps… not supposed to work like that😂
Have accumulated a sleep debt so hopefully that paid some of that off

But did heavy chest and arms tonight

Moved across to incline bench dumbells

Careful, big dog. I’ve read a tiny bit about sleep and everything says you can’t catch up.

You can, however, get ahead. Sleeping more in preparation of being sleep deprived can have a positive effect. I think they called it adding to your sleep bank.

Think of it as building up your savings account but there are no loans or credit when the balance hits zero.

Yeah for sure mate, agree with you on that
I wasnt necessarily feeling fatigued but the sleep train really hit me outta no where so hopefully it was my body telling me to slow down
Feel much better and more rejuvenated already so ill be sure to keep it around this level going forward
