Just got done with my Lower body max day of GLP1

Workout
Box Squat
125x10
165x5
195x3
215x1
245x1
275x1 FAILED
EDT 1- 70 reps in 11:38
Leg Press- 478lbs
Glute Ham Raise- BW+25
Calves
Abs

Notes: Not sure why I keep failing that squat, but I wasn't as frustrated with it tonight as I was the other day, mainly because I finally got to try "The Formula" today. Absolutely killed my edt and abs tonight. Just gonna keep on eating like a horse and try again in a few days. No biggy.

Let me know on how "The Formula" mitigates DOMS, recoveres your quickly enough to get you BACK into the gym etc.

With respect to missing a rep on GLP1 here and there.... totally natural as I mention in The BP. In fact, I usually miss a rep (or two!) on at least 2 or 3 of the workouts.

Your predicted 1RM will be there on max day... :)

Well, I finally finished GLP 1!! Super excited about that. Took your advice Rob and played this one conservative, so I could get back on my feet, and into GLP 2. I'll get all of my strength back there once I get into the full swing of it.

Workout
Box Squat
125x10
155x5
195x3
215x1
245x1
265x1 PR
DB deadlifts
85lbsx8
EDT1- 80 reps in 11 minutes
Leg Press- 478lbs
GHR- BW+25 lbs
Calves
10 min LISS cardio

Notes: Definitely a good workout today, regardless that my Box Squat max today, was about 10 lbs lighter than my projected 1RM when I was plugging the numbers, before I started my GLP1. Had I not gotten sick, there isn't a doubt in my mind I would have finished this alot sooner. I am just glad to get back to setting PR's! I'm really liking "The Formula" during my workouts. Definitely gives me that extra oomph to push out a few more reps on my EDTs. Felt so good I even did a little sprint work after practice tonight. Very, very excited to start my GLP2. Time to plug more numbers :D. Oh yeah, forgot to add. I'm up to 174 lbs, and my bf has barely moved. If anything it's dropped a bit. That's a 13 lb increase since famine, which was thanksgiving. So in 2 months I've put that on. Feels sooooo much longer :shock:
