1-19 Weigh In
Legit.
I took a couple John Meadows tips from Dave McBig’s training log (rice carbs + whey pre workout and carbs + EAAs intra-workout).
The timing has for sure helped with hunger and energy during the day. And the last two pounds of BW has come on easily.

Timed sets are out, controlled tempos are in. Focus of Push day is off the pecs and onto the tris. Switch up felt good on cranky shoulder.
Plastic barbell didn’t freeze my hands. Nice.

In my world “deadlifts” are off blocks.
This month the program emphasizes ass-hams on deadlift day instead of upper back. Protect Ya Neck! Go easy on the traps every once in awhile. Smat.
