Doing U/L split since Jan 15th..I have data feedback telling me I am getting stronger (example; Hack squat, went from 150kgs to new PB of 230kgs this past weekend) however, Visual feedback or that “pump or swol look” only lasts immediately afterwards in the mirror. I look exactly the same as I did when I started in January minus the excess fat I’ve lost, can’t put my finger as to the why
I'm knew to this stuff so take my advice with a bucket of salt.
"I look exactly the same as I did when I started in January minus the excess fat I’ve lost"
You might not notice it because the process is slow and you see yourself in the mirror everyday, but you probably look much better without the excess fat. In particular if your face has thinned out then people definitely notice. If you have a friend that you haven't seen since before Jan 15th and if they saw you now, they would very likely notice the difference.
For your 3 day Upper/Lower program, most workouts are 2 sets, do we keep that set count constant and just increase weights progressively for those sets throughout out the program
What do you use for logging your workouts? A certain app or old school writing stuff down. Sorry if you've answered previously.
I use an app called Gravitus that I love and works well
