3/27: Week split?
My “week split” consists of chest, 2 leg days – one focused on quads and one on hamstrings, back, shoulders, and a bicep/triceps day. I structure the week where I move around muscle groups enough so that when my chest is sore, I hit my back or legs or vice versa. This schedule leaves me […]

3/21: Make it flow!
For more on routines, one of the first things I figured out after trying and failing to create a good morning routine was that none of it made sense logistically.
