Welcome to the new year! I have already made some changes in the recommendation of weights. We are going by perceived exertion for each individual. If you do a workout and are a bit sore the next day, that’s ok. If you do a workout and can’t move without pain, and there is no way you could work out again for a few days, that’s a mistake! We should all be improving little by little. There are no magic movements that make us into our dream version of ourselves in a few weeks.

I am also changing the strength program again. I don’t think we are seeing the gains we were before. And the percentages were so much math to figure out and keep up with, that it became a nuisance rather than a motivator. We are going to do a combination of lifts for work and sometimes so check on our 1RM. This should be a better motivator, when you see actual, rather than theoretical progress.
