149.3kg this morning.
Rest day. Spending Christmas at home with the wife and dogs. Really nice Christmas Eve done and looking forward to getting my training done tomorrow morning so I can have a good Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

Difficult to give definitive advice without fully knowing the mechanisms of the injury or what is driving the issue.
I would advice seeking the help of decent sports physio if you have a complex issue with your shoulder.
However saying that I agree with your planned approach of training pain free movements in order to build strength. This can only be a good thing.

Hello,
that would be possible but I need to stand.
Yesterday I tried behind the neck press. Is it normal that it hits the lateral delts harder then normal presses? Really good feeling.
Yes it is normal.
I like BTN presses – just takes a bit of time to mobilise my shoulders to get in position haha.

Awesome first session of the strength phase. Felt super fresh (unsurprisingly after several days rest). Deadlifts were very very light. I’m good for well over 400 based off today’s pulls. Worked up to a top single then some work on the ladder focusing on how fast I put the straps on.
Deadlift 370×1 220-300 (ladder)
Hack squat 250×10
SA DB Row 82.5×14
SL Calf Raise 3 sets -
Final rest day – back on proper food today.
Back in the gym tomorrow for some proper heavy training. 6 weeks till BSM

Rest day today. Got my steps in and all that. My digestion has been on the brink of struggling the last couple of weeks so we made the decision to do a 36h fast and give it a break before we get back to it tomorrow.
New one for me. Don’t think I’ve ever not eaten anything in a day before. Liked it. Zero stress about when my next meal was and only a bit of hunger to deal with. I can see why it’s popular at the moment but not something I’ll have to do again for a while hopefully.
Sitting down now to watch the boxing

149.6kg. Friday rest day. Just got back home from seeing Slipknot play at the o2. Great show, amazing performance, ears ringing, off to bed.

Are you using straps with an overhand grip or are you using a mixed grip?

Rest day today. Infact I’m on a deload now up till Monday when we start the new phase. By deload I mean just taking time off training, resting up so I’m ready to really get into training on Monday. Moving to a day on day off approach as with the introduction of events the sessions should really be classed as full body.
Saw my physio today. Knee to wall (ankle ROM) within 10% left to right and all strength markers are passed. Ready to start in season training

Push session at Physique warehouse. Final push session of this phase and wanted to hit a decent log press and get 300 on the Atlantis incline as it’s the last time I’ll be using it for a while. Log felt comfortable after a technical change and lockout felt solid.
Log Press 160×1
Military press 102×5 110×5 117×8
Atlantis Incline 300×5 then drop set
DB Upright row/front raise/lateral raise complex (3 sets)
Pressdown complex (3 sets) -
Well that was a lot of driving! Finally back home after getting the family visits all done.
Ready to get back to some normality. No other social events planned till after Brits so 6.5 weeks of perfection coming up.
Final couple of sessions of this block coming up to finish this week then we move into in season training as the prep for Brits, Europes and worlds continues.

Squat 260×5
Walking lunges 50reps
Hypers 50 reps
SL Calf raise 50 reps -

Rest day today. Body is wrecked. Got some travelling to do as I do the usual pre Christmas family check ins so on the road today.
I’ll head in to train at Mirafit HQ tomorrow for legs.

Great info from Nath here.
I’ve been using BPC 157 for a while now and plan on running it all season. Feeling good so far – Achilles and knees feel great. In my head I foresee it preventing chronic soft tissue injuries from developing into serious injuries.
Not completely sold on TB500 from previous experience but I do like the BPC.
I use Biolabs stuff (and Nath’s code 😎)

148.7kg this morning.
Slight change to the original plan as I’m off doing the pre Christmas family visits tomorrow. We leave in the morning so didn’t fancy a rushed early morning press session. Felt really good considering it was my third training day in a row. Definitely ready for a rest day tomorrow.
Took my time warming up today to ensure my shoulder mobility was sufficient for a decent overhead position.
Log Press – 153×1
Military Press – 130×5
Dips – 50 reps
DB Lateral Raise – 50 reps
JM Push Ups – 50 reps
