Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever)

[Dustin07]

didn't get up for my 5:30 alarm, so had to really fly through this one when I got to the gym.

Not a bad day, all things considered. Gonna try to knock out my cardio shortly.

hey man, good on you for getting it in.
I'm starting to subscribe to a term Hyde said not long ago, something like "Squat and Go" lol.

if I got 20 minutes to move some heavy weight real quick, I got the rest of my life for accessories.

Planning to fast today. Stomach has been kind of upset and hoping for this to act as something of a "reset" day since it's cardio only.

hate to hear the gut is bitching, hopefully this does the trick.

I’m surprised you didn’t recognize that idea - it’s directly from Jim Wendler, his “I’m not doing jack sh*t today” accessory template. Paraphrasing, he says there can be a time in your training life where you have earned the right to ‘squat and leave’.

Not something you want to do often or make a habit of, but sometimes there will be a day when either you just don’t need to be pushing accessories, or there’s no energy or time truly left. When you’re sick, family stuff, an injury or life thing weighing on you. Sometimes you need to settle for the steak without the potatoes for one meal. You won’t lose all your gains one time.

yessir, didn't even make the connection but I do remember that portion of the book too:

And you know it's good advice because no one named Jim can give bad advice.

Right, I remember once you told me to go f*ck myself, and I have been doing so 3 times a week ever since...
