Saturday and Sunday are my usual rest days. Both days involve a lot of stretching to prepare for the night shifts and possible violence I have to deal with. I usually follow the same recovery routine on my rest days because when my body tightens, it almost always tightens in the same areas of dysfunction. You could call it upper and lower cross syndrome.
I started bulking at 82kg and I’m currently weighing 85kg at the end of the first week. I’m feeling very fatigued from work this weekend, but otherwise I feel fantastic. Looking forward to the second week.
