Giant 1.2: Week 1

The Giant 1.2 is the continuation of The Giant 1.1. It's the same programming as Giant 1.1 except with a bump up in difficulty.

The hardest session of the week prescribes 9-rep sets. I was able to do the 9-rep sets just fine. However I needed quite a bit more rest after a 9-rep set compared to an 8-rep set.

The session before the 9 rep per set session didn't call for as many reps per set. I pushed myself a bit to prepare myself for the 9-rep per set session.

I continued doing The Giant sessions in the morning, 3 times a week, and doing chin ups on the same day, but in the afternoons. I did chin ups on breaks from work. One thing I changed this week was doing 2 sets of chin ups on my break instead of one set. I'd do one set, then some mobility work like ATG split squats on the stairs, hip circles, etc. then do the 2nd set. My elbows typically felt better during the 2nd set.
