    1. How long do your sessions usually last per day?
    45-90 minutes depending on workout and how much rest I take between sets.

    2. How many different exercises do you tend to do per session/day?
    Again depends just started PHAT program so between 10 and 7 depending on which day

    3. How many reps/sets you do & why/ body goals?
    I am looking at a hybrid between strength and growth so chose PHAT. On power days it is about 3 sets with 3 - 5 reps as heavy as possible to build strength. On hypertrophy days it is about 3 sets in the 8 - 12 rep range at 70% weight from power days to help grow more lean muscle.

    4. How often do you do the same workout routine per week?/How often does it change?
    On this program you can swap out the main lifts as you see fit, base it on boredom, or to work a lagging muscle

    5. What do you eat before the gym if anything? What after?
    Again this depends if I am working out am or pm. If am I will have a protein shake, yogurt and a banana for food, have a pre workout and BCAA and Creatine. If pm workout I will have a meal of protein and carbs a couple hours before and then I will have a protein shake, yogurt and a banana for food, have a pre workout and BCAA and Creatine. I do this only because it works for me getting in my cals and macros for the day and not leaving with a full stomach at the gym.
