I completely agree. I was fine doing HP Mass during fall break, splitting the higher volume sessions (i.e. Weeks 2 & 5, 3 & 6) into two separate ones. But now that classes have started, I immediately feel rundown and can no longer keep up with the program. I am dropping weight for a contest though, that’s gotta account for something.

What do you plan on doing once your deload is over?

Gotta go with what your lifestyle allows at the time I suppose.
I started splitting my sessions as soon as I saw it in your log and it made quite a difference. Thanks for the idea! (and sorry I forgot to mention it)

As long as my current lifestyle allows it, I’m going to continue with another couple of phases and see how I go, I’ve really enjoyed the progress so far and I’m interested in getting to another test week.

Lol, yeh it’s over now. I’m happy I did it but, feeling really refreshed.
