(NOVEMBER 11, 2022) - Day 1 - Week 1 - Phase 2 - Strength training
I'm starting phase 2 of my strength training today. There's a slight variation to both my "Workout 1" and "Workout 2" splits. Emphasis is on lifting heavy with less Sets and Reps compared to my phase 1 strength training. My gym buddies joked that I held back on my 1RM on certain workouts, but that is not the case, I feel stronger and can now take risks that I wouldn't 4 months ago.
