FBB Pump 40 – Week 5
Looking back on this week, it was one of the best in recent memory. I completed all four programmed workouts as well as an extra day on Saturday. All of this was married up with nutritional changes I have implemented.…
Peaking Block
After I marked week 24 complete in the Juggernaut app, I got a notice that the next training block would be the peaking phase, something brand new for me. I have been avoiding anything remotely close to a 1RM. After…

So what’s next?
After wrapping up this last training cycle, it is painfully obvious that I need a break. I took a look back and realized it has been over a year since I have had some true time off from lifting. From…
Back to Tracking, Again
Staying off the scale and not tracking was initially what I needed to take a break. A year of entering everything I ate into an app became too much to continue for me so I took a break. It is…
