im looking at doing this every 5 weeks.
also, i think im gonna spread the wsb template out ot 8 days, for a little more recovery, until my gpp gets higher

I dropped assistance exercises 2 weeks ago (gym had reduced hours for maint/installation) then took all of last week off.

Shoulders feel much better, then I came back monday with a DL PR! I only work out 3 times a week anyway, but I was starting to get some aches & pains.
