Things are feeling good here. Just slowly chugging along in the phases… getting excited about the end of the cycle.

I have felt that 6-week cycles are good for me. Like how I did before with 5/3/1 doing one cycle then right into a second cycle with no deload in between, THEN deload after that. I do think that will fare nicely for me.

I’ve also been thinking about what will happen at the close of this cycle. Basebuilding is likely the modality… but there’s something else more important that I’ll be attempting (again).
