Is that deep stretching sensation when Im pushing out higher reps fibers being stretched/ torn? The mix of heavy low rep and high rep light weights is genius, my shoulders and chest are so sore this morning. Im running 300eq/ 200 test, does the lower test impact recovery more than say running it higher? Deca was amazing as I was never sore.
This breakfast really helps me when I lift.
5 scramble eggs, 2 russets shredded and cooked with avocado in to get crispy, 2 tbsp ketchup for flavor, bowl of baits cooked in no milk, 1/3 walnuts and 1/4 dried cherries. In 2-2.5 hours I’ll be ready to lift.
Nice leg sets today, higher volume can definitely get tough.
Rode the bike for 20 minutes low HR this am, 5 minutes before I did the workout and 10 minutes after, total of 35 minutes cardio.
