Hi mate
Many many people have done really well off the DC templated and principles.
If you’re going to give it a go, from the off, I suggest you follow the programme as written, you can form opinions on the way, but give it a chance before you start nuancing.
Awsome thx, so the 3 day a week one then ?[/quote]
Whichever of the splits suits you best mate. If you enjoy a 3 day a week split, get after it. -
Legs today, and seemingly no way of predicting when my need will be good and when they won’t
Significantly more comfortable today, which meant more effort on the right movements
Just wrapped up my last meal and now sleep time
Rest day tomorrow and then back at it on Tuesday

Push day today, which was pretty good. Moved everything forward and working with more confidence on the presses than I have done to date – still a long way to go, but moving on albeit frustratedly at times
About to get my last meal and then sleep. Leg day tomorrow 🙌🏻

Hi mate, please try reposting the pics so we can see where you’re at

Pull Session this evening, and whilst I rattled through, it wasn’t what pull should be.
Things are improving, my confidence is growing, but the reality is I’m just not excited by this style of training
Nothing I can do about it now unless I put undue risk on what would be a catastrophic injury, so I need to live with it, but doesn’t mean I have to like it!
Push tomorrow, but first, steak and sleep

Hi mate
Talk to us about what’s changed from when you started 6 months ago?
How has your performance improved, and how has your bodyweight changed?
Hopefully you have some before and after pics?

Hi mate,
Pulling your shoulders “back and down” will open up sub-acromial space, which will allow your bicep tendon to run smoothly, and minimise impingement.
It will also reduce unnecessary over rotation on the concentric, and it will create a solid and stable base to press from.
Reality is, your scapula will need to move, so you can be deliberate with movements, but don’t expect to freeze your scapula completely.

Lower tonight and semi decent. Definitely found a way to get some work done but my knees are sad again.
With that said, I pulled my finger out and managed to get booked in for my ostinil plus injections. Look forward to updating on the success of those
Sorted food prep for tomorrow’s rest day, just about to get my last meal, then bedtime
Rest tomorrow, then PPL over the following days
-
Agree with the guys here mate, all a matter of whether you can recover to a point of frequent progression.
-
Upper session tonight and probably the best session I’ve had since the bicep rupture. Everything felt that bit safer to push. I’m taking my time, working in sensible rep ranges, but genuinely very pleased
Just about to get my last meal, then it’s sleep time
Lower tomorrow

Hi mate
Sounds like it might be your AC joint? Quite common to get some arthritis there, not that I’m diagnosing, just what immediately jumps to mind
If you can, I’d get a decent sports physician to take a look at you
Once you have a diagnosis, you can start working towards a fix.

Rested today and straight into U/L tomorrow and Wednesday due to a work commitment on Thursday. I’ll run the PPL second and then back in sync.
One meal left which I’m about to have, then it’s sleep time.

Hi mate
Martin MacDonald (Mac Nutrition) has done a huge amount on aggressive dieting.
Not an area I’m well informed on.
