    Another really good session over at the new gym. Upper tonight.

    Loving the range of kit and what fee like “safe” movements. It’s definitely the first and most important thing for me at the moment.

    Nice atmosphere in there. Completely distraction free. Just head down and start getting back to it.

    Just cooked up 1250g mince, 750 lean beef, 500 lean chicken

    About to have my last meal, then it’s sleep time

    Rest day tomorrow, then into lower/upper over the weekend

    I’m wholly with Meg here mate.

    You don’t need a “special” set up, keep things consistent and as you would at any other time, consider programming changes based off performance changes.

    It’s been a really good set of sessions lately.

    I took the plunge and jumped gyms and it’s been such an excellent decision. The wider variety of kit is really benefitting my beaten up body.

    I had legs tonight and had a brilliant connection with all of my movements.

    Just getting my last meal. Then it’s bed time. Upper to look forward to tomorrow

    Hi mate

    My view is that both of these can work if you have the movement options available to you.

    If you’re running a very high frequency split like full body or upper/lower, I’d lean towards having more than one variation, as you move to PPL I see the rationale balancing a little more

    That’s my push session done for tonight

    Tomorrow I’m going to a different gym for my pull session. I’ve been looking to go for a while but it’s not happened so I’m forcing it tomorrow

    Just sorted food for tomorrow and now having my salmon meal before bed.

    Another busy day tomorrow, but it makes the days fly by

    Also agree with James mate, if you lead with pull it gives you an extra day before legs so if required gives you chance to top up biceps on leg day

    I’d urge you not to do PPLPPL, it will just mean you need to drop the volume in the sessions.

    I’d rather you go PPL R UL R and heavily bias the Upper session to the areas you want to focus on.

    Good weekend of training for me

    Legs was really good yesterday – very very warm, but one of the best I’ve had in a long long time

    Upper was very good today as well. It was warm, but my body behaved so I was happy

    Into a rest day tomorrow, just getting my last meal sorted and be’s time

    It’s a much much cooler evening which is very welcome , hoping it sticks around like this!

    Very much with Joe and Kam mate. There’s an argument for a lot of people that two is preferable to three, so don’t see it as less than ideal!

    Ok pull session tonight, definitely a couple of steps forwards on the movements but it’s not exciting me.

    Super long day so fodnt manage to get we tobthe new gym, which does make me wonder how well that will work when thing spill over

    One for next week

    I don’t want to moan, but I’m going to, the heat is not fun, even though I’m not super heavy, I’m still not light and it’s a pain,

    Hoping it starts to settle after tomorrow, thank goodness was for the air con unit at bed time

    Just finahed food prep and now getting my last meal before sleep!

    Rest tomorrow and then lower upper over the weekend

    The temperature would definitely play a role for me mate. Having a cool bedroom makes a massive difference

    With that said, I do like how Kuba has simplified it, being too caught up on duration can be creating an issue that doesn’t need to be one.

    Decent push session tonight but WOW was it warm in there. Tomorrow will be worse for my pull session, but then it starts to cool a little over the weekend

    I’ve got back and done my meal prep and am now getting my last feed before sleep time

    This isn’t something I’ve done, but o do know that the people I’ve spoken to who have done this with most success have followed the principles Allison has outlined

    Fasted and full, consistent and progressive.

    Unorthodox couple of days at work, long and interesting, but not something I want to repeat soon!

    It’s warm again, but very good leg session this evening

    Just putting my meals together for tomorrow babe, then it’s final meal and sleep time

    Might try the other gym for push tomorrow as I’m going to need to make a decision soon So need to assess the week day commute.
