@joncates That would be my plan, when I feel ready for it. I was more concerned with un-racking weight, or loading plates on the bar.

@kevinsim I may have just read too much into the comment. I 100% agree with you

@kevinsim For someone who’s never stepped into the gym before, I think 99% of people would recommend them follow a well known routine. People spend way too many wasted years, thinking they know better than the professionals.

@ameedee87 I’m in the Full body zone now. Work out every other day (as sleep and schedule allow). Some weeks it’s 4 days, some 3, some 2.
