Mondays are rest days. It ended up being a long one at work today

I’ve not long sat down aftwr food prep, that backfired though as I pretty quickly fell asleep

Going to go and make my last meal, then sleep time for me

Hi mate

Unless you’re very well developed, I’d have a shoulder press movement in

If that’s the case, shallow your incline press

If it’s not the case, have a steeper incline press.

[Rich Ellis]

Looks good mate. I’m not a fan of 3 presses in a full body. I’d sooner do 2 and rotate them but that’s just my preference. See how you get on with this and after a long run, let us know how you went on.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, i guess i just need to test how it goes and if it feels too much then make some changes.

How have you settled into this Samu? Which variation did you go with in the end?

[Rich Ellis]

Another good upper session today. More psychological wins with my pulling and pushing work

Sorted my food prep for tomorrow. Mondays are rest days so I’ll make the most of that before legs again on Tuesday.

Very busy couple of weeks ahead, but then a nice break for Easter so that will recharge everything

[Rich Ellis]

Got in the gym earlier than normal today to avoid the busy meet up for Reece’s gang. As I’m sure it would have been an awesome atmosphere, I just wanted to get my movements done in sequence

Good leg session today, up on everything, staying super patient with the compounds and really holding the higher rep sets

I’m going to try a new set up on the 45deg press, as I’m doing all my pressing on the hip press at the moment and it would be good to have a second option.

Just about to have my last meal, beef mince, avocado, rice, and greek yogurt (separate)

Longer sleep tonight, then upper tomorrow💪🏻

[Rich Ellis]

My personal preference is an A and B if both are being trained in the same week.

I do think too much variation can limit progress, but as Kuba has said, sing set ups are mentally taxing (some people get off on that!)

Also agree with James that the kit available to you might determine this for you. Actively choosing inferior movements isn’t sensible in my view, if you have the luxury of multiple like for like options, you can roll with that.

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day all wrapped up bar my final meal

It’s extremely taxing at work at the moment so sitting to watch something badly failed as I just fell asleep

Bodyweight check in the morning, then legs

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with James, this is a very interesting peptide that is used specifically for cartilage regeneration

One to keep a close eye on!

[Rich Ellis]

Pull session tonight and the weights keep creeping up

I’m growing in confidence but trying not to be reckless and rush

Just about to get my salmon and avocado meal, then sleep with a rest day tomorrow

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

It doesn’t seem like you have consistency to your sessions. I’d address that immediately

Outside of that, I agree with the gang, don’t put too much credence on the soreness unless it impacts performance

It will likely lessen every time you repeat the session if you are consistent with all variables

[Rich Ellis]

Excellent push session tonight – gym was lovely and quiet so a great tempo to the session, and everything moved really well

Sorted food prep for tomorrow and just now getting my last meal before sleep

Pull tomorrow

[Rich Ellis]

Just to echo the above mate, if you enjoy the split and you’re seeing progress, just stay with it and get aftwr it

The one thing I would urge against is always thinking you’re missing out because another split is “better”

I’m not suggesting that is the case with you, but it’s very common

The best thing you can do is be relentlessly consistent. Small, steady, repetitive progress over time is your best friend mate

Let us know how you get on

[Rich Ellis]

Gooooood leg session tonight!

Everything starting to come together now. Weights that felt heavy because of a lack of loading exposure are now feeling normal and being used for high rep sets.

I’m A LONG way from what I would consider strong, but I’m able to work hard in the higher reps, and I’m starting to get the loads moving on some of the movements

Blood let 2 of 3 tomorrow, then push in the evening

Salmon and avocado with rice coming up, then sleep

[Rich Ellis]

I think what you’re seeing in the responses here mate is, it depends!

There’s only one opinion that really matters, and that’s yours.

What feels better?

Appreciate it’s a pain setting it up twice, but worth it for many years of work!!

[Rich Ellis]

Monday, and that means rest day.

Long day, Mondays always are, but about to get my last meal sorted and then I can sleep

Legs tomorrow evening.
