Hey Barbell Squad. I’m on the last week of the Bridge and am now reflecting on my progress and what I could attack in the future, I feel like I am leaning towards a rerun on The Bridge as I feel I could have done a better job with the initial few weeks in terms of gauging RPE and have not been able to incorporate the second GPP day which possibly means I have some gainzZz left to realize before I move on.
The question I have been pondering for the last few weeks is whether or not I should incorporate the second GPP day (At least the HIIT portion of it). Given my current responsibilities if I were to do incorporate the 2nd day I would need need to rejig the structure a little bit to fit it all into a Monday-Friday schedule as gym time on the weekend is very hard to come by. I am 6feet 1 inch and 205 pounds and am still trying to put on some muscle mass, I have also adapted enough to the stress requirements of heavy lifting portion of the bridge without the second GPP day that I appear to make it through a high stress week on sub-optimal sleep.
To get specific: If I am constrained for time and am still trying to gain weight, what do I risk losing by not incorporating the HIIT portion of the recommended GPP if I rerun the bridge for a second go?
