Agree with Kam mate.
I’d swap your loading sessions to Tuesday and Thursday, RDL on the Thursday, away you go.

Good leg session this evening. As good as it’s been in this gym.
My knees are starting to feel better and better session on session. I think I’ve got a good balance between volume and frequency.
Absolutely loving the new DNFM flavours, I’m on Sherbert Razz at the moment. Highly recommend!
Just cooking my beef mince and then sleep
Push tomorrow, trying a new gym, I need to have access to some good kit for my chest work.

I’m a big fan of PPL UL mate. Good balance of targeted volume and frequency.
As Kuba said, a lot of this will be down to how you programme your priorities, but this set up should allow you to bring these areas up.

Rest day today. Very very busy at work, but a good one.
Prepped my meals this evening ready for tomorrow
Legs in the evening to look forward to
Just about to have my beef mince meal, then sleep time

It’s a catfish so just be mindful of how it is farmed mate.
A healthy one will be a good source of lean protein.

Really good upper session this afternoon
The big limiter for me at the moment is the chest pieces. I’m ok if I’m working in the high rep ranges (15+) but the pieces aren’t letting me load which is sad.
I’ll try to do my push session at a different gym this week and see if the pieces there allow me to work hard in lower ranges.
That aside, really good session.
Food prep done for tomorrow’s rest day.
Just getting my last meal and then it’s time for sleep

Same as Bish for me mate, I split it three times per day.
You can combine the two products no issue, but you may not need to add additional magnesium to your dream sleep.

Very very good leg session today. They keep getting better. I’m very happy with how it’s gone and see real opportunity now if I can keep replicating this.
I’m going to look at a wholesale change to this gym, but a lot will depend on the feasibility of the commute. I alrwady work long hours and need to weigh up the cost/benefit of slightly more kit availability in the week vs the sleep loss (if the commute is bad, if it’s not, it should be immaterial)
Just getting my pre bed supps and meal and then sleep time ready for upper tomorrow

Hi Freddie
I’m not sure anyone can tell you what the risk/reward here is.
It’s what’s most important to you, and there needs to be some comfort with the fact that you will have an individual response.
You’re talking about quite subtle shifts, and you’re also in a place where what you’re doing now is working for your hair if I’ve read your OP correctly.
I’ve said a lot of nothing there, but I don’t think you’re going to get something definitive on this one.

Rest day to wrap up the working week.
It’s been a busy but good week, I’ve had decent sessions and definitely glad it’s the weekend
Saturday’s are always busy, but have leg day sandwiched in the middle so very much looking forward to that.
One meal left tonight which I’m about to go and make – eggs tonight.
Then it’s sleep time with a bit of a lie in compared to week days!

This is something I always neglected and wish I’d done more of when I was younger.
Totally agree that this will be a NET positive if you have a half competent therapist
As with everything, always sensible to add your own thoughts as you grow your own experiences

Very late to the gym tonight after a long day, but a good session.
The gym was nice and quiet so no hold ups waiting for kit.
Just about to get my last meal and then sleep time
Rest day tomorrow, lower on Saturday – alrwady buzzing for it!

Hi mate
Just left arm, 2-3 times per week, consistent timing and process.
-
Very happy with this evening’s push session. Bicep and shoulders playing ball nicely, numbers on the up, it’s a good day.
Work is cranking up a lot, but enjoying getting that done alongside training taking a rise.
Got my meals prepped for tomorrow, salmon now before bed and sleep.
Pull session tomorrow

Hey guys, I do have some knee sleeves lying around, but like you said I tried to keep my knees naked to get the most out of the movement.
There is a smith machine in my gym, but it’s a slanted one (nautilus) so it sucks to do squats on there in my opinion. Also im 6’1” / 185cm with long femurs so hacksquats allow me to get much better motion.
I’ll try the hacksquat on Saturday and let you know how it went, if it still aches I’ll try single leg legpress !
Hamstring focussed legday yesterday was perfect
Totally on board with trying to keep naked knees, but not at the expense of discomfort
Let us know how it goes mate.
