Regarding the discussion on TM and 4-day split. I know it has always been recommended that us old guys don't do the TM, even though it has an awesome name! For me personally the TM has been quite useful as a "finisher" when I stall out on SS NLP. The first weeks of TM actually feels lighter than the last sessions of NLP, since I go from 3x5 to 1x5, with the 5x5 at only 90%. I have cycled this a few times, starting over the SS NLP at higher weights than last time, and then finishing with 8-10 weeks of TM, before the 5x5 becomes too much.

This is a very good episode but no Bre jokes. What's up?

Did she quit?
