    Good upper today. Bit of tweaking to do with the chest work in this session , but pretty much bang on with it all

    Away with work on Tuesday so flip flopped the week, training tomorrow, resting Tuesday, then lower / upper respectively on Wednesday and Thursday

    Meal prep is all sorted, one more to sink in about an hour, then sleep time

    Hows the diet looking like right now bud?

    Upper session done and dusted.

    Really good session tonight, strength nicely and steadily rising, body nicely behaving.

    Food prep done for tomorrow, just about to get my last meal and then it’s sleep time for me

    Hi mate

    As Louis says, I’d go 2 on 1 off

    Please put your triceps with upper mate, leave biceps with lower.

    I’d like to see another set on the squat press too, or if not, an additional press or squat variation.

    if i were to add triceps onto upper like you said do you think i should also program in a tricep compound such as a dip or jm press?[/quote]
    Hi mate

    I’d probably go 1 set of single arm pushdown, 2 sets of JM press

    Dips will crossover into chest work, so depends if you need more or less there

    For a start, I’d leave it clean and see how recovery is.

    Nice leg session tonight. I wear flats on this session and wedges on the other. I’m definitely better with wedges so will now implement those across both leg sessions

    Sorted meal prep, just about to get my last feed then sleep.

    Upper tomorrow, very game for it 🙌🏻

    Hi mate

    I’d join Louis on this one and have a quickly digestible meal at 06:00, also gives you a good amount of time to hydrate.

    Then you can have performance fuel through the first 1/3 of your workout, and your MPS Max as a single hit as you get on the gym floor.

    As for your workouts, depends what you need volume wise, 60mins is probably pushing it for PPL, so I’d likely opt for bro split.

    Rest day today, and on the bank holiday too

    That meant a very productive day sorting some house bits, car bits, and food prep.

    Very much looking forward to my leg session tomorrow

    Excellent upper session today!

    Everything upped, with execution on point, and my body feeling “safe”

    Seated calf
    Standing calf
    Upper back t-bar
    Chest supported lat row
    Seated shrug
    Chest press
    Pec fly
    Machine shoulder press
    Machine laterals
    Single arm tricep cable extension

    Just about to have my last meal, then sleep.

    Rest day tomorrow falling on the bank holiday, so bit of a lie in and then some house jobs, food prep, and not much else

    Wholly agree with Marc here mate. Unless there’s specific need to do something very specific, multiple warm up sets on your first couple of exercises is the way I’d go too.

    Be sensible in not making them fatiguing, that will be down to the number of reps with a given load rather than the number of warm up sets provided you have ample recovery in between.

    Excellent leg session today

    Very simple and as so

    Prone leg curl
    Seated leg curl
    Leg extension
    45deg leg press
    Ham/glute hypers
    Machine preacher curl

    Definitely found a good set up for my pressing, just a lot of work to do now.

    Big food shop done, about to get my last meal and then an earlier night ahead of upper tomorrow

    Really nice upper session tonight

    Everything going nicely with training at the moment. I’m staying patient and it’s paying off.

    Rest day tomorrow before a weekend of training to look forward to

    Just had my last feed and now sleeping

    Hi mate, I’m echoing the others.

    Cream of rice with dried fruits, honey, or sweet fresh fruits

    Rice with some dried fruit mixed in or on the side

    Very nice leg session tonight after a couple of days working away with the team

    I’m really pleased with how my knees are coming along, a real transformation

    Upper session tomorrow, but a very full on day at work first – sleep time now!

    You’ve definitely had the feedback you need here mate – try to keep that whole principle of not over thinking applied to all aspects of this game

    The micro detail can come when, and if, it’s warranted
