180 – Pull Day

Gonna take something big today, can feel it!!

Was meant to have a dentist appointment this morn but couldn’t leave due to snow, but luckily snow has cleared for deadlifts which is all that matters ? nashers can wait!

Hey AJ,
Being that your a natural competitor do you use slightly less volume in training than some of the enhanced athletes? This is probably highly individual based on your recovery ability but interested to hear your answer. I’ve seen your videos with Kuba and it looks like you do the same set for set. Excited to follow along you journey buddy all the best!

Hey Jatinder,

Myself and Kub run very similar volume actually, his strength causes more fatigue so therefore it ends up being about matched 🙂 my arm volume is slightly higher tho ?

Good morning AJ
Just wondering do you take creatine everyday.

180 – Push Day

Ready to attack the high incline dumbbell today, closing in on some all time bests !

Incline barbell too gonna get after progressing this!

[ajmorris]

Hey aj
Just wondering do you take multi vitamin year round ?
Are there certain supplements that you only take at certain times of the year

Hey Sean!

I don’t use a multi currently, as my diet is very varied! But I would have it in during time periods where my diet variety drops off a bit

178.4 – Rest Day I pulled 225×7 yesterday on a stiff bar, so that’s a nice all time PB, now settled into the set up at lockdown location… we train 3 days on, 2 off, 1 on, 1 off. It’s not ideal, but we make it work and very grateful for the setup. I’ll take 230 next week, and hit 6, which I know is more than possible. Hope everyone is having a solid week!

Impressive pulling mate. Have you changed anything within your split given the new on/off routine?

Thank you buddy – Current split
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t ideal, this is just the best solution I have and I make it work for now
Mon – Off
Tues – Legs
Wed – Push & Arms
Thurs – Pull (Deadlifts, 2 sets hams, two sets adductor)
Fri – Off
Sat – Off
Sun – Push & Arms

178.5 – Legs

Productive rest day yesterday. Ready to attack legs today! ?

[ajmorris]

Hey Aj, what did you change training wise now that you train on another facility? In regards to exercise selection/ kit available compared to ultra

Hey Juan, not a lot, just like for like movements

[ajmorris]

179 – Rest Day

Deadlifts were a success yesterday.

235×4
190×8 Paused below the knee deadstop

I want to work these up so that my back off is never below 200. That will happen in a few weeks.

[ajmorris]

Hey Aj when on a de-volume phase do you still aim to progress top sets or stick with a different rep range since you are less fatigued during the session ?

Hey Dylan.

Usually I’ll still allow for progressions to be taken as I like to keep intensity high during a de volume! But it depends how trashed I feel ?

[ajmorris]

Deads today… A PB set is there

Subbed for the above :D. Cool to check into your log here mate. And very impressed with the deadlift numbers! Impeccable form too.
