Legs today

    4pps/30
    5pps/20

Sooooo I wasn’t supposed to, but I went ahead and started Unity @aldebaran! I had a couple reasons:

  1. I wanted to
  2. After today, I only had two “pump” days left anyway and those are boring
  3. Today was leg day, anyway, and that’s day one of the new one
  4. Nobody keeps TfP in the corner

It was so optimal it probably deserves its own inflammatory YouTube video telling you why everyone else is dumb and on drugs

I don’t have any goals. I figure as long as I’m in the gym every day, it doesn’t really matter what I’m doing.
Basically, I’m a YouTube champ without a YouTube channel!

I love it! As a fellow non-monster, I find myself happy to stay the same. Many will say that’s bad, but if I can maintain what I have while adding life demands then that’s its own sort of progression.

Maintenance requires progressing when you’re over 30; the default is to regress!

I don’t want to be the T-Nation wuss or anything. I just like pushing hard while I’m doing it, so I just kind of do whatever floats my boat.

This is my view on the subject as well. It seems like I’m always fighting to get back to old PRs… and those aren’t even impressive.
