Another week, another opportunity to keep progressing forward! 

Per usual with programming, all exercises will stay generally the same for the most part — we will aim to increase weight as you progress through each week. Reps will not change throughout the course of this phase….read below. 

With programming, you always want to be progressing in some form or fashion depending on the goal. The goal of this phase is to build size/hypertrophy through isolation and contractions. SO — how do we progress with no difference in reps? TIP: If you don’t get all reps, drop the weight and do double the reps!

Week 2 / Day 1 / 2.0

This sequence seems good so far… for some reason I wasn’t expecting a mix of every muscle group each day. 

I’ve been keeping good track of my weights from week to week, etc… and it is so weird how some days I am way weak or quite a bit stronger than the week before. My diet and time of workout is fairly consistent. 

Learning more every day/week…

James
