Notes
Okay, a lot of stuff. I will start off with squatting.
Well, since I have started this new block my progress just has not been the greatest. I do like the new block, but damn I feel weaker each week I go and workout. Compared to my block 1, this block I am doing Bulgarian Split Squats (Monday), Front Squats (Thursday), Reverse Lunges (Thursday), Deep Squat Practice (Thursday), OH Squat (Friday). My block 1 I was doing Front Squat (Monday, Thursday), OH Squat (Friday).
Comparing the two, it just seems that there is no rest for legs, legs are almost each workout, and I am not sure if its too much for me, or I am just not used to that much volume and will get used to, but my progress has sucked. Even my upper body progress as well sucks, just cause the increase in what im doing.
I don’t know if I will get used to it or not, but I’ll put the two blocks in here and maybe someone can chime in.
I have some stuff to talk about stamina and endurance, but I have to go out for few hours so I’ll be back and make a new reply with that. Hopefully someone can help me on my little dilemma.
