I think my body needs more rest then the alloted time. But I think thats the point of the program push your body to stress.
No, no - that's not what I meant lol. When I said 25%, 50% etc, I meant that when going through Hypertrophy I, the 3x15 lower body workout will be the one that ends that "round" of protocols. So, you'd be one quarter (25%) of the way through H1 when you completed your first 3x15 lower body workout. 50% when you completed your second and so on.
