20 chin I really have to get better at these.
I weighed in at 222.9 (5/6/2019) this morning ,which scared me at first, but I think this number is pretty elevated as I ate a lot last night and am closer
to 220 which means I am gaining about a pound a weight which to me seems more sustainable in terms of muscle to fat gain ratio which is what I am shooting for. I don't want to get fat during this period although I know i cant gain only muscle. I will keep my macros the same for this week cause I undershot them almost everyday last week and looks like I still gained. I am basing my macros from Jordans TBAB article.

So I have to say @Hanley is a genius with his montanna method. Still weird not lifting super heavy but I really like it so far and am excited to see where I end up after a summer of consistent training.

I'm also looking forward to an extended run of MM this year.appleswag96 wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 12:06 pm So I have to say @Hanley is a genius with his montanna method.

I'll have no meet scheduled until spring 2020 after this June.
I'm toying with the idea of going to 2 rest days after every session.
I'll see how i'm holding up by that time.
Regarding the chins density blocks, what strategy are you using?
I'm finding starting with an easy number (3 for me) and resting 30 seconds works well.
When i get to where it's hard to get the 3rd, i rested a little longer.
Switched to 2s, then grabbed one last single as the clock ran down.
Improvement comes by being able to do more of the threes at the same level of fatigue.
If i started with 4s, i'm sure my total would be a lot lower at the end.
I was able to do the last sets of 2 on shorter rests.
I'm finding these fun, and they are the only thing i'm PRing now.
