One clarification. With 4 sets on side delts would you recommend they not be hit on leg days or it should be fine given they are a small muscle?

You have two sleeps so it’s fine … maybe split the volume of delts between legs and push[/quote]
That was my thought process of 3 sets every 2 sleeps. Thank you.

One clarification. With 4 sets on side delts would you recommend they not be hit on leg days or it should be fine given they are a small muscle?

That’s why I was curious to your preferences. You’ve tried it all. I’ve done both the fast and slow approach but only with low cruise doses. Thanks for the insight as always.

Thank you for the input Oscar. Loved watching you and Jordan’s pull session from 1-2 years ago.

Q1: I’ll make both modifications.

Q2: So hit the side delts harder on push day and rest. For biceps, you said you’d tag them onto pull and start of legs. 2 days in a row on pull legs would be better than lumping them into 1 session? Making sure I…

When tidying a bit (mini cut) what is your preference in terms of typical duration of it and how steep calorie drops/weight drop is each week? Also, would drugs stay at the same doses as they were leading up to the tidy period?

My current split Push/Pull/Legs/Rest has been working real well.

PUSH A

2 Pause 15degree Kadillac Bar Incline

2 Pause 45degree DB Incline

3 Pause Chain Dip (6-7, 10-12, BW + Chains)

2 Barbell JM Press

3 Lateral Raise

PUSH B

2 Pause 30degree DB Incline

2 Pause 60degree Barbell Incline

3 Pause Dip (6-7, 10-12, BW)

3 Overhead Extension (Cable/Kadillac Bar)…

Thank you everyone. I appreciate all the input.

I’ll continue doing that. Thanks

I’ve been doing the latter. Strong side first and rest pause for the weaker. It’s good to hear different perspectives and experiences.

Hey. Slightly visual for lats. Lat rows usually match fine reps without much issue. It’s certain movements. Biceps can’t visually tell. Measurements about the same.

What is the most efficient way of addressing left to right side imbalances?

When doing single arm pulldowns my left side gets 2 more reps than the right side, sometimes 3. For DB preacher curls the right side tends to get 1 more rep.

When you do the Leg Press it looks continuous and smooth. You don’t take an extra breath or two at the top to stabilize and squeeze out a couple more reps. Do you consider a set done that way beyond failure or something to avoid at a higher training frequency?

I won’t be greedy and will make every rep count. I’ve noticed a lot of what you say is test things out, see what works best, and do what you like. The deeper we get into our lifting journey the more it makes sense. The Shallow and High Incline DB Press with Weighted Dips is an amazing combination for the Push Session and I’m going to push it as… Read more

I have seen it and I have gone overboard before. Now that it’s a fuller upper and not a shoulder focus I’ll make adjustments and follow your upper as a template to go off of.

I’m 5’7 2361b/107kg and need to grow everywhere, especially my upper body. I spent 10 years training Upper/Lower 2x/week powerlifting focused and earlier this year deviated to 5 days and started incorporating DB, cables, and machines have grown a lot. Higher frequency training makes sense. Recently I started to train side delts and biceps…
