Notes from The Muscle Ladder by Jeff Nippard

Rather than summarize the book, I'm focusing on my action notes.

Training status: Intermediate, though perhaps less so than time alone would indicate.

Enjoyment: Fortunately, I've successfuly developed a taste for daily lifting. Multiple years of 4-5 day-per-week morning workout. Formerly preferred evenings. Not much necessary to maintain. If I can get myself to take the preworkout, then I'll get to the gym. And a protein shake is the reward, besides feeling better all day.

Time: I've got 60 minutes daily, plus 15 to and from. I often tire after 45 anyway.

Safety: Injuries suck; not here for it. I have a persistent wrist injury, but an exceptional physical therapist visit gave me techniques to control it.

Satefy as a funciton of recovery: I have experienced systemic recovery issues. Gotta be attentive to when the whole body is done, not just some muscle group.

More later!
