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.

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 . 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

Should have taken an extra day off to get back on track. Oh well live and learn, I'm going to be bouncing back hard next workout.
