This post is the first of a few over the next 9 weeks, and may be a bit long – so thank you in advance if you read the whole thing.

I see it far too often. People come into the gym, they slept great, ate well, feel good, and the bar is moving fast – yet they decide to “stick to the plan” and leave either pounds, or reps, or BOTH in the gym.
