    Really good day.

    I was lucky enough to have some very good advice from someone I have complete tris in

    Now training is in a good spot, it’s time to tidy myself up, so 12kg to come off over the next 10 weeks.

    Some diet changes and a need to move a bit more!

    Very good leg session today. I can’t believe how much progress my knees are making.

    Obviously now need to come down before I can do a stint of proper growing, but a good block of getting training moving.

    Just about to get my last meal, then sleep time. Upper tomorrow 💪🏻

    Hi mate

    I’d really urge you to look at getting any obvious imbalances addressed. It’s not going to be a positive, even if it feels it’s not taking away right now.

    I also agree with Marc, I don’t think I’d choose a dead stop here.

    Another really good session, I’ve not had a bad one since moving gyms, it’s been an excellent decision

    Calves and arms this evening. Legs tomorrow so I’ll leave the bicep portion out

    Beef meal ready to eat, just a couple of jobs to do and then it’ll be time to feed and sleep

    Hey Rich!

    I was just going based on where I should be based on educational series but U/L blew up my legs and did not help the imbalance 🙂

    Hi mate

    UL will push your legs on for sure, I was asking if they are actually that far ahead that moving to PPL won’t let your upper play catch up given your frequency for legs is dropping, and your targeted volume for push and pull work is increased?

    All the travelling over, and a really really good upper session tonight

    Becaise of the messed around schedule I’m in tomorrow for arms and calves which need more attention in this block

    Meals prepped for tomorrow, bit of time on the road so good choices made

    Sleep now, albeit later thn is ideal!

    Hi mate, honestly, I like what you’ve proposed on your cadence, but would leave the triceps in the upper sessions giving them good priority (volume and order)

    Good day today. Got my gym session in up here in Glasgow. Beautiful building, but stacked from top to bottom with Primal kit which I think we can all agree is garbage

    Outside of that, pretty good day, another long one.

    Tomorrow will be longer, and flying home to get back to some normality so will be resting.

    Are your legs that far ahead mate that a PPL won’t balance this out? You’ll be upping the volume for your upper body and reducing frequency for lower.

    Early travel today with work. Short trip with a big partner. Flying back on Wednesday evening

    Rest day today, legs tomorrow as a visit, then I’ll reshuffle a bit as I’ll need to rest Wednesday too

    Hoping the plane isn’t too cramped 😐

    I’m loving training right now.

    Another mega session at Premier today, I’m getting on really well with the kit and my body is behaving.

    I was 137.2kg morning weight, so a decent start point to get things moving.

    Just waiting for my bloods to come back and I’ll decide what path.

    Last meal now, very early start for a work road trip for a few days, but food and training will keep going.

    “Well known” is a hard one to define, but there are so many content creators now, across so many different categories, you’ve got a lot to choose from.

    Like Kam, if you can help us narrow it down a bit we can share personal favourites.

    Wicked session over at UF Derby today.

    Always very good to see Bish. Not only a true freak of strength sports, but highly knowledgeable, and just a very very good guy with it.

    He did some HEAVY pulls 6 weeks out from world DL champs.

    I had a leg session, which is always good there because of the quality of the kit. There was a very good “gym citizen” who was just a cool guy stepping in to spot.

    We then went for a feed so a good day all round

    Last meal about to go in, then sleep, upper tomorrow

    Hi mate,

    I’d review the full body split set up video, then map as closely as you can the movements you have available to you.

    If you run into issues, pull it back for some trouble shooting with us

    Rest day today and another very full on day at work

    Looking forward to a gym road trip with Bish tomorrow and then upper on Sunday.

    Got my bloods done today so we’ll see how they come back

    Just getting my last meal, then sleep time for me

    Agree with Kuba on number of training days. The split depends how you like to manage your frequency and volume.

    I actually like the same split as Joe , I find it a really good balance of the two
