    I’m with Nath and Oscar here mate.

    Is there a need for you to be at two different gyms?

    If there is, I’d probably do one rotation in gym A, and one rotation in gym B.

    Push session this evening

    Still nicely creeping everything up. Shoulders were a bit iffy tonight though so total session volume was only 14 work sets.

    Got some salmon in the oven and then it’s bed

    Back session tomorrow that I’m hyped for

    Hi mate,

    This is an ace approach if you have the kit that can facilitate, but it doesn’t seem like you do, so remove that as a factor.

    Set your sessions up to represent your physique goals, and wha your body allows you to do.

    Work super hard, be smart with all of your recovery factors, nail your food, be consistent, get hyooooge.

    If you’re already at that stage where you really do need to worry about the finest of details, look for a gym that has the kit you require.

    Rest day today, and feeing nicely recharged. Looking forward to a good sleep ahead of push tomorrow

    All supps and meals are prepped,
    Just one meal left for this evening and then it will be an early night.

    Hi Erik

    What are you basing going through the different sleep cycles on? Do you get any objective feedback?

    Ryan’s point shouldn’t be ignored, especially if you’re a bit bigger guy/have a thick neck.

    When you say you go to sleep at 2am and wake up at 11pm, is that a typo? That sounds like chaos for your sleep consistency.

    Legs!

    Really good session tonight. Knees are doing really well.

    I’m going to reintroduce a squat next session as I’m now confident my quad is ready to roll and my knees are being very good to me

    Resting tomorrow, then back after push on Thursday

    Food prep is all done, last meal is in the oven, then it’s time for bed

    I like these as well mate, just be sure that you are very consistent with your set up and be disciplined with your body angle as it’s easy to manipulate your angle of pull as things get tough!

    Hi Adam,

    The timing of your MPSMax will depend on your other meals. Most will try to put it somewhere near the middle of your pre-workout and post-workout meals.

    With this in mind, pre and post training meal timing will dictate where your MPS goes.

    Hope that’s helpful mate

    Thanks big man 😃

    Say I have pre ( COR & whey) at 11

    Train at 12

    Have MPS max at 1/1.15

    Then post workout about 60-90 mins post workout [/quote]
    Hi mate

    If we assume your session is 2hrs long (12:00-14:00) and the set up is as you’ve suggested above, I’d go….

    Pre-meal at 11:00

    Train at 12:00 (start sipping sustain)

    MPSMax at 13:00

    Finish sustain by 13:30

    Post workout meal 15:00

    Personally I would move everything 30mins earlier, but that’s your call on what feels good mate

    Had a back session today and really enjoyed it

    Everything has nicely crept up so job done

    Low pulley stirrup row
    Neutral Pulldown
    Upper back Pulldown
    HS upper back row
    Barbell row
    Hyper extension

    All meal prep and supps prepped for tomorrow

    Got one meal left for tonight and am going to catch up on UFC 290.

    I’ve seen some of the results and am thoroughly unimpressed!

    Nice push session today

    It’s really starting to feel as though I’m going to be able to get strong again without having to give so much attention to injury risk

    Today went

    HS Inc press
    X-over
    Cuff laterals
    Smith JM press
    Reverse grip football bar press

    16 work sets in total.

    One more meal left this evening and then a good sleep before a pull session tomorrow

    Hi Arron,

    What approach did you take here, and how did it go?

    Missed yesterdays update due to being away with work and god awful WiFi and signal.

    Rested up yesterday, and the same today.

    Spent the day at Silverstone and being a big F1 fan, that was awesome.

    Lots of driving though and suitably tired now

    One meal left to sink, then a good sleep with a push session tomorrow afternoon

    Spend some time on your preferred option,
    Then when tht stalls, back to DB press, or onto the the machine variation.
