Yep, I’m in the vanilla gang – it’s the most versatile to add stuff to!

Whey isolate I’m also a vanilla guy, but also like cereal milk.

Hi mate

What’s leading to you having to wait an hour?

When you say you’d like it to be 30mins, what’s the barrier?

[Rich Ellis]

Legs tonight

Pretty good on the whole. Other than someone doing a set on the hip press, then vanishing for 45mins leaving their stuff on it.

Resulted in me having a play on the other leg press which was acceptable

Resting tomorrow, then back to gym on Saturday – just waiting for last meal. Then feed and sleep

[Rich Ellis]

Push session tonight which was pretty good. Still not having the nicest time with my chest pressing, I need to address that bit on the whole everything is making progress

Just making my last meal, then sleep, legs tomorrow

Hi mate

If you do have sleep apnea, that’s a big cause of raised BP, but I would agree that low 130’s on its own isn’t hugely alarming.

TBJP Love Heart has helped A LOT of people lower BP, so worth looking into if you do want to address the concern.

Pull session tonight and a really good one. Nice step forward in loading, but still feeling safe.

Don’t get me wrong, it should feel safe, it’s a long way from heavy, but it’s on the up,

Just about to sort my last meal and then it’s sleep time

Push tomorrow 🙌🏻

I’m adding to the consensus here mate, not something you want

If you want to put some videos up with minimal weight, we can take a look at your starting form.

Rest day today to start the working week.

Had a very good sleep last night and the day has flown by today.

Meal prep all done, just one meal left to go, then it’s sleep time

Pull tomorrow

Hi mate

I don’t like it very much to be honest.

The purpose of your warm up is to put you in the best possible position to perform your working sets.

I personally don’t think you’re going to get that from the approach you’ve outlined above.

[Rich Ellis]

Very good leg session this afternoon. The best I can remember in a long long time.

I’ve got a lot of work to do before I’m strong, but if I can work hard in the way I did today, I’m confident that will come.

In reality though, it’s the working hard I want and need, the strength will be a bonus that comes with it.

About to sort my last meal and then it will be sleep time

Rest day tomorrow, then back in on Tuesday

[Rich Ellis]

Yep, heavy and light is obviously relative, but using rep ranges to define that is most sensible.

You don’t HAVE to have that rep differentiation, but it does work well for a lot of people.

[Rich Ellis]

Really good upper session today. Real buzz in the gym, which meant it was really busy, but a good vibe.

Legs tomorrow and hoping my knee plays more nicely than it did last time out. The general trend is positive, but need to not have “off” sessions

About to sink my last meal and then sleep time

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with the guys, if you are looking for a productive outcome, some sensible consideration to why and how you are doing things is important

If you are literally just going to the gym for enhanced wellbeing, no issue, crack on, but if you’re looking to get a performance or aesthetic progression, don’t leave stuff to random.

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day today for me

I thought I’d got to the bottom of the water retention issue, but it’s back with a bang. I think I know what I need to do, but it’s highly annoying

Just cooked my last meal so about to feed and then sleep

Upper day tomorrow 😍

Hi mate

At the moment I’m going oats, whey, desiccated coconut, blueberries

That’s hitting the mark
