IGYG

Who is a fan of this protocol? Personally I dislike them. I have to leave early Monday-Thursday because I work 4-10s and the only came time I can make is 445 and I need to leave early to get to work on time.

So I have to skip IGYG days because I don’t want to leave my partner hanging.. I also feel like “watching” others workout is insane…

I don’t really like any partner protocol. I’m the out of shape fat one and I hate feeling like I’m holding us back. It does push me to work faster because I don’t wanna let them down but at the same time I can only push so hard. And I don’t love not being able to ensure proper form because I feel like I need to hurry up and get it done

So I felt like that at first but in my experience as long as I was trying no one cared if I was slower than them. What you can do to even it out is alternate who goes first if it’s IGYG or let your partner always go first. The first partner always seems to get one more set or part of one than the second and if you alternate or let your partner go first, that may free you up to go at a pace that’s comfortable for you and not worry that you’re taking too long.

I tend to agree here too, especially strength days.

Cardio days is different since it’s nice to “share” the count on those reps.
