Training 2/19/2023-2/25/2023
Following is the list of Paul's logged weight for 2/19-2/25/2023 and the sequential notes with them. He trained back with his coach on 2/18 which is why you see 2 chest days rather than a back day. He moved his Sunday chest day to the next Saturday to have a Monday-Saturday training schedule with Sundays off where before it was Sunday-Friday with Saturdays off. The next week he has stuck to a better split with a back day in the normal place for the split.
