That cleared it up very well for myself, that was extremely helpful! I'm glad you brought up tonnage! Is that something you would use for an intermediate as well? For instance I've seen several bodybuilders us the rep range scheme when working out. I'm guessing that for intermediate / advance lifters would almost try and beat the log book at times, as opposed to the tonnage, because as shown, we can be in the situation of regression. I would imagine we could incorporate a deload and then go back to the rep range. However, now I'm second guessing myself AGAIN! Thank you, Brett! *You after reading my question*

Hi Devin, Great question, aside from my education, and financial goals, I do have a few fitness related goals that have me pumped to tae on the New Year! -Be in bed for at least 8 hours, need to promote recovery personally -Go for more walks, staying inside all day messes up the circadian rhythm -Improve everything... LOL

I've maybe retyped this 3 or 4 times because you all do such a great job being so informative on Instagram, the only thing I can thin of on here is maybe practical applications for things like exercise selection (when to take out an exercise, when to add sets or reps, when to steer away from barbell movements, how to taper volume for a PL meet, peri workout nutrition, and steps vs cardio when to add / reduce during a contest prep). So hard to think of some because the ATP Instagram page is so full of information, love it there. Can't wait for the vlogs!

Here in Canada, specifically Hamilton, some gyms have chosen to close or have enforced some new rules, due to this we have been forced to do home workouts every so often. Prior to all of this, summer of 2020, I was lucky enough to have purchased a new rack, plates, and a barbell. Fortunately, I have always had somewhere to train. However, as grateful as I am to have this to myself (and family / friends without the government knowing *GOTEM*),, I will be returning to a commercial gym simply for optimizing the improvement season. Thankfully, I never am never too concerned with training at home or the gym, thanks to Coach Brett and the rest of you at ATP, where ever I'm training I know I can deposit a few pennies in the physique bank!
