    Agree with Haider and the gang here mate.

    If you’re not having a rack as well as a smith, maybe consider a Jones Machine instead of a Smith?

    Hi mate

    I’m also pen and paper. A habit largely taken from strength sport training but has stuck with me in one format or another.

    Well that was unexpected- unforeseeable change of plans meant rest day became push day

    Actually had an excellent session, very pleased with it

    Just sorted meals now for tomorrow and about to get my last meal of the day, the. Sleep time

    This will be worth waiting for mate.

    Jord will have this bang on before he pushes the button.

    He’s very sure of what he wants from it, it will make a splash for sure

    Really good couple of sessions over the weekend

    Nice pull work yesterday, and then my glute/ham biased lower day today

    Just on with food prep now. 2 meals to go and a bit of down time before another very heavy week.

    Resting tomorrow, push day on Tuesday

    Hi mate

    I typically finish my last full meal about 2hrs before gym.

    Just before I go onto the gym floor I’ll have my MPS Max in one shot, then my PerformanceFuel through the first 2/3 of the session

    Best quad biased lower session yet.

    Session by session my body is playing ball, and that means I’m able to work harder – which is all I want

    Progressing now, in load, but also growing which is fun.

    Bed now, rest day tomorrow, but food shop to do!

    Hi mate,

    I’m with the guys here on the digestion being the key determinant of your decision.

    If the wpc 80 messes your stomach, either get the higher quality whey, or invest the money into excellent food sources

    Mega push session tonight.

    Really pleased with my movement selection here, body is behaving really nicely and I’m enjoying progressing session in session.

    Just about to get my last meal, then sleep.

    Quad bias lower session tomorrow 😍

    Leg press isn’t a squat, it’s a leg press.

    You can have a squat on one of the other two days, they are light on the legs.

    Hip extensions are fine, but my view looking at the whole session make ups is that you can afford a heavier variation.

    Hi mate

    Are arms a priority for you?

    Any opportunity for a squat and RDL in your train at home days?

    Goooooood ham and glute biased lower session

    Had biceps tagged in there too

    That’s a good three days trained, now a rest day tomorrow before getting back at it.

    Just prepped meals, one to sink tonight and then it’s sleep time for me.

    It’s probably what they prefer, or some very strong guys might be using it to reduce the load required on the chest supported row.

    My view is that very very very few people need to consider this microdetail.

    Very nice pull session today. Gaining confidence in the movements all the time which is allowing greater performance progression

    Sleeping now, glute/ham biased lower session in the evening
