Notes
This felt like extremely low volume for me. The workout lasted 42 minutes and that is with a partner. Even though the volume was low, the intensity was extremely high. Hence the name Phase 1: High Intensity. With there being only 90 seconds between sets, and working out with a partner, the PRs may be few and far between, but I know for sure that this is legit. I am already feeling it.
P.S.
I am usually eating my pre-workout meal (breakfast) about 2 hours before I workout. But when I am working out, my stomach is hurting like I am about to yak. Should I eat longer for my workout? Or eat less before I workout? Suggestions???
