Convenient? It isn’t about convenience. Get up 30 minutes earlier and get it done.

Try and think of active range of motion rather than full range of motion.
I imagine, like a lot of people, with lateral raises you’re bringing the dumbbells up way too high which is going to engage your traps and allow them to take over, probably going too heavy too.
I saw a great clip from Sas where he was watching Cedric McMillan do lateral raises and he used light weight, straight arms by his side and almost looked like half the movement rising up and outward.
I gave it a go and damn it burned, really felt it in the side delts, worth a go! -
Corinne you sneaky motherfucker!! Hahaha absolutely buzzing for you. Congratulations! So awesome ????

Jordan a suggestion for improvements on the app.
Everytime you open a log it starts at page 1, so everytime i open your log I have to scroll Down and go to the last page.. would be awesome if it opened on the last page rather than the first />
Jesus… first world problems right here. I think Jordan was being generous with 2.8 seconds there, easily done in less than that. Have a word with yourself and think about what you’ve done…

Haven’t done a full MI40 program but my current program does have some sets utilising the principles. Those sets absolutely tear me up and feel brutal. Doing the job nicely

and fat…
We’re bodybuilding not strongmen, very very different physiques and goals. Just piling on extra weight, and fat is not a clever way to put on good tissue. For those guys like Eddie, Shaw, Hixx etc they train and eat in a specific way to gain as much size and strength as possible and don’t give a shit about aesthetics, mass moves mass. Bad mindset for bodybuilding!
I wouldn’t start bulking until you are lean, will only take around 12 weeks of dieting and increased cardio to get lean enough to really reap the benefits of a good off season. You do not need to get stage lean at all i but I wouldn’t start trying to bulk from a 20% bf starting point, that is only going to keep increasing and end up with you having to diet down for a ridiculously long period of time.

Why not a Push Pull Legs rotation?
The above looks very limited

James uses Love Hemp and has a 20% discount code I believe. Check out his insta profile, think it’s all on there

I think Sas has one of the most aesthetic physiques going at the moment, such a good package and he just seems to be put together perfectly. Definitely see him winning that Arnold Classic and up on that Olympia stage!
Not only that but like yourself James, he’s really friendly and super humble. Very likeable guy.

I think the majority of people on here adopt some form of PPL rotation with great response. Definitely not too little frequency. Don’t think of it as just training 3 days a week, I structure mine, P, P, L, Rest, P, P, L, repeat.
Sometimes it gets moved about a bit or I might need an extra rest day but I try not to think of it in terms of training sessions a week, it’s just a continuous flow, doesn’t matter about a 7 day window.
I’m sure some of the more advanced guys or Pros will have a different opinion though and I’m talking bollocks! lol -
If you’ve got an injury or niggle they’re helpful to protect – if worn correctly! Wrist wraps are the main culprit here, the amount of people in the gym I see wearing them too low doing literally nothing, I’ve even seen someone turn up to the gym with them already on! I think some people just think they look cool.
I’ve got a dodgy knee and elbow (and the whole rest of my body!) so after I’ve warmed up and I’m getting close to my top set that’s when I’ll use them, usually 1 or 2 feeler sets before top set. Try to only use them when going balls out

6 inch stilletos for me, works a charm hitting those quads and calves.

Veg will keep for a few days if cooked and stored in the fridge. I do this quite often. Never found a need to freeze cooked veg.
If it’s a normal work week I won’t even prep veg, I’ll do my protein and carbs then just throw veg in raw ready for the microwave. Only when I’m travelling do I tend to prep the veg also.If you have access to microwave you could do the same? Makes things easier for me anyway.

It’s easier when eating large amounts to split it over 6 meals. Can also control your carb intake closer to and around your workouts easier.
If you can only eat 4 meals a day, make it work, plenty of people only do 4 meals. Believe Sas recently dropped down his amount of meals if you check his log

Very diplomatic James lol
