1/4 - 1/5

Definitely starting off on the right foot with this split. Weight was 171 after the workout today (the 5th) and really liking this split so far. Working on time under tension and controlling negatives. Weights have been a tad lower, but with textbook form and crazy pumps. Still giving the muscle a great amount of stimulation, and my joints are definitely appreciating this approach. Energy levels are still solid throughout the workouts and through the day. Did an HIIT session after hamstrings, but will make the adjustments for the HIIT after this wave ends. Looking forward to moving ahead and starting to really put the pedal to the floor.
