I feel like I’ve asked you this before lol. But I’m not sure lol
Nor am I. I used to do more OT but I got sick of effectively living at work.
I feel like it would cut into your sleeping time too.
That too. It cuts into everything.

Woke at 187.7 but looking decent, even a bit dry. I did eat around a pound of Brussels sprouts yesterday (delicious AF), so I think that accounts for it.

It’s mostly the briefs @AliveAgain36 they make them pop
Went in to do weighted calves and the bike sprints I missed yesterday.

Leg press single leg calf raises 4x30x176 lbs/leg - last set rest/pause
