Thank goodness it's Friday, hammered my legs today, whenever I think heavy is easy it hurts and whenever I think high rep is easier it hurts as well. Legs will recover just fine, my chest is super sore from yesterday, waiting for the Test to kick in and help me heal up.
Anything else I can do to increase recovery? I have found that more intense high rep sets sometimes leaves me not 100% on Mondays push.
Here are weights and meals for the day, I plan on eating on big on the weekends as well.
