I like Pampers, but that’s just me. Your mileage may very.

Seriously though, 8 is a pretty good number, I’ve been working out for years and can only get 1 to 2 at a time.

Like others have said you probably need to rest longer. Another option is to use an assist like a band and build volume that way.

Wendler. My old box gym used to run Wendler cycles and I really liked it. Gives you a good cycle of test, work, recover.

I have a home gym now and it’s the cycle I use.

As another user pointed out, most bacteria and other microscopic forms of life don’t really “breath” in the way we think of it. Often they just absorb oxygen from their surrounding environments.

They can be washed away, killed by chlorine (pools), or killed by salt imbalance (ocean). However it’s really hard (read near impossible) to kill them all, and even if you did they exist in our environments naturally and from other humans as well as on things we’ve touched recently. So they repopulate quickly.

There are some arguments that Sodium Laurel Sulfate kills “good” bacteria on our skin.
