Yeah, its pretty fun doing DB. Left arm definitely a bit weaker in general, and the short breaks are tough. Psychologically different to a short but heavy set, as well

Weighing after crapping is the pro move. Are you bulking now? What's the plan? How do people work out at gyms that actually have a prowler and space to use it?

Yeah, my timing was off today for some reason, usually im a one a day am'er. Didnt **** until mid afternoon, possibly a weekend of drinking beer.

There is a turf section at the gym. One part has a thick grass-like one that is mostly used for stretching and ab exercises, the other is a narrow strip about 30yds long with a shorter turf for prowling, speed ladder, cone drills etc.

Plan is to slow bulk over the course of this LRB experiment, probably hit around 176-180 over the remaining 12 weeks and make the PRs. Then reassess.

Thanks, man. Had to have a bit of a lie down in the rack after the last set, definite cardio deficit by then.
