Legs today.

Absolutely brutally hot, not much fun, but equally lots of fun.

High rep work, much kinder on my knees, probably going to have to be the way for a while

Resting tomorrow, all my food prep is sorted, just about to cook my last meal, then attempt to sleep!

Hi Alan

If you want to develop your legs, there’s lots of evidence to suggest that training one leg will provide bilateral transfer and provide benefit to the recovering limb.

If you’re not interested in developing your legs, that’s of course a personal choice and a whole different scenario

Rest day today

Typically British I know, but I am not enjoying the heat!

Sorted meal prep for tomorrow, one meal left now this evening and an early night – no doubt double fans on the go!

Hi mate

Agree with Clare here, don’t rush your weight gain once you have found maintenance

If your output (cardio and steps) are high, remember they can be manipulated too.

[Rich Ellis]

Much better session today, thank fffff for that.

Very enjoyable pull session after two very frustrating sessions in a row.

Everything felt good, everything moved well, everything progressed so I’m very happy

Just sorted food prep for tomorrow, and sitting down now for a bit of quiet time before my last meal and sleep

Resting tomorrow, then back in on Tuesday for legs

[Rich Ellis]

And thank %#*@ a good session after two very frustrating ones

Really enjoyed today’s pull session, everything moved nicely, everything felt good, and everything progressed

Just done with sorting tomorrow’s food prep. One meal left this evening and finally sitting down for some quiet time

Resting tomorrow and then back in for legs on Tuesday 🙌🏻

This is such a balance.

Recovering super well but making no progress isn’t much use (assuming progress is the goal!).

So if your stimulus is resulting in you not progressing, but you’re feeling fresh as a daisy, you probably need to rethink.

If however you’re nice and fresh and making good progress, you’re in an envious position, make the most of it mate!!

[Rich Ellis]

Well that wasn’t much better. Shoulders being absolute divs today, so another frustrating session

That said, some wins, some good movements in there, and they will be progressed nicely over the coming weeks

Now lots of feeding for the rest of the day

There are thousands of members mate, I don’t think Jord will be able to get to everyone

My suggestion would be to put together a few lines of “why you” and send it over to Jord. I would mention that you are a member of the site also.

Shite leg session this evening – knees being an absolute div. NOT a happy meathead.

Push tomorrow, I’ll be less sulky at that point 😤

[Rich Ellis]

I agree with Marc here mate.

You take the deload when fatigue builds to a point that it is inhibiting progress.

Your approach post deload sounds sensible.

Unless fatigue build to an inhibitive state unreasonably quickly, it’s pretty for the course.

Hi mate

Any chance you can put this through a translator app so it comes out in English please?

[Rich Ellis]

Good arm session this evening

Now just sorting food prep for tomorrow along with tonight’s final meal

Then it’s sleep ahead of legs 2 tomorrow

[Rich Ellis]

Good arm session this evening

Hi mate

Worth noting the new “clear whey” that will soon be coming out will be entirely lactose free, and likely a really good option to help digestive comfort here
