So, this week, I started taking mental notes while I was lifting weights. I had so much gym time and noticed my form on some lifts was getting sloppy as I reached my max weights.
I busted out 6 days in a row of 1 - 1 1/2 hour gym days which was great and felt so good! Yesterday and today are my recovery days before getting back to it and I made the choice to do a de-load (cut back on the amount of weight in lifting) in order to correct my form.
I've also decided to do a funky periodization... since my goal is slow mass gain, instead of doing a few months of strength training then hypertrophy (bodybuilding), I'm gonna run them simultaneously: 1 week strength, 1 week hypertrophy and back and forth while increasing the number of reps and weight each week.
I'm not sure if this is common or nuts, but I'm doing it! I've also decided to start posting my workout programs on days I lift to watch my progress here to compare with caloric intake on one app and get critique from you guys on things I may be missing.
Yeah - I pushed a bit harder than I ought to have this week, but I also took in almost 20% more calories than usual all week! Back to work on Thursday... it was a nice break! 😊
