Stay within the specified rep range on shock day...in most cases 8-10...and yes, go till failure.

If you want to really feel it in your back, do Yate's Rows. A Yate's Row is: a bent-over barbell row with a supinated hold and your back at a 50 degree angle (from horizontal). I like to squeeze at the top. I really feel these. w00t!

I just want to clarify.

Gopro does 15-20 minutes of 'moderate' cardio after weight training.

You wait to eat your PWO1 until after the cardio is finished, correct?

No supplements after weight training, but before cardio?

Thanks in advance.

In general, yes. Of course when cutting, cardio amounts go up. Right after I'm done with the weights I have my creatine/BCAAs/glutamine. Then I do cardio. Once finished, I will then have my post workout meal. So:

weights
supps
cardio
PWmeal

Whey protein and either maltodextrin powder, or if I'm hungry for solid food I will have white rice, grits, or white potato with the whey.
