Just finished day 1 of hypertrophy phase. Literally just made all the sets and reps (except the last 2 reps of leg press) and feel strained and v tired.
Assume this is normal even for day 1?

Haha thanks. Recovery day today was v welcome
A weightlifting question from a newbie. I am starting the off-season weight training plan tomorrow and it has been years and years since I lifted weights. For the 4 sets of 8 reps do I do four sets of squats and then move on or do squats then leg press then leg curl and then repeat. thanks
Do all the squats. Then all the press. Then all the curls.

Awesome @frazrider -
I call everything after hypertrophy âeasy streetâ a featherweight. Get some air on your jump squats!
