Notes

Solid session this morning, but tough. I think I might be approaching MRV for bench/chest (23 sets as of last week). I'll try my best to add another set somewhere tomorrow...

I think that's all for now. I do hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Cheers!

Notes

Week 6 completed. Whether I physically need a deload next week or not, I'm going to take one regardless because staring down this much volume is mentally fatiguing.

That being said, it was a great workout. Front squats were a bit tough but manageable. SGRDLs were better today compared to earlier this week.

I guess that's all for now. I do hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Cheers!

Short and sweet - took about an hour. After this deload week is finished, I need to figure out a way to reduce each sessions training time. During weeks 4-6, I was training on average of 2 - 2.5 hours per session, 4x a week. I enjoy lifting, but I was hoping to keep session length to about ~1.5 hours. Perhaps I may need to lower weights and keep rest times to a strict 2 minutes per set. Meh, I'll figure something out. Who knows... maybe I'll try crossfit.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Cheers!

Your PM box is full or I'd ask this there. Does Alex Cibiri still refer to himself as a Starting Strength Coach? Does his gym still sport the name "A Starting Strength Gym"?
