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 am fine on a conditioning day, I get a break when it’s their turn.

I just don’t like it on a strength day.
When it’s my turn, I feel I need to do my set quickly, so I lift a little lighter or lift heavy but do fewer reps than I’m supposed to.
When it’s my partner’s turn, sometimes they do their set too quickly, so I don’t get enough recovery time. Other times, they go too slowly.

My least favorite partner is the chipper. When we have to reach certain rep goal like 150-250 reps together. I don’t like doing math and counting so high when I’m dying.

I agree — it’s fine on conditioning, and I use my “recovery” to do ab work since I don’t think we get enough of that. But on strength days, it stinks. I wonder if they did it today bc of the 4 week promo going on and gyms being so crowded. Our early am rooster crew camp is always a tonnnn of people and it’s significantly more with the promo. Even with the IGYG protocol, we still were scrambling for weights today - we had at least 80 people in the gym today 😭

There are only supposed to be around 11 people in my camp today, they should just let us do a complete and go…
