Don’t know if I really should share the template, you’ll all see it soon anyway. Mine had me making pretty good progress but I feel like 2 out of the 4 sessions a week just feel like complete shit. Like as if I wasn’t consistently having great sessions. Plus a change is fun, I doubt I’ll make progress any slower on my new program (probably faster). And now I have someone to ask questions about hitches along the way in the program to, rather than just trying to think about what the hell I could do when I had designed my own program.

My training program is staying around though, I made pretty good progress so no way I’d ever lose the template that I wrote for the way I have been doing things in case I need it again someday.

I don’t mind if you share details.

Interesting, will eagerly be waiting to see your training sessions.

But that’d ruin the suspense
