    I think you should probably lean towards flavours tht you like.

    Genuinely all of them taste very good.

    I personally use vanilla the most as it’s very versatile when you’re adding fruit or whey

    There’s not an easy replacement for this in all honesty

    Probably a standing single leg cable variation.

    You can also bias some of your leg pressing movements towards your adductors.

    Push priority upper today

    I’ve been doing a lot of cable “y’s” and IS press (variation) of late, and I cannot quite believe the positive impact they have had on my shoulders.

    I won’t hold my breath, but….!!!!

    I’ll rest up tomorrow, and then on with a leg session on Tuesday

    Just got my last meal in. Big eat, then big sleep

    If “not hitting everything hard enough” means an upper split isn’t letting you give enough attention to individual muscle groups, I agree with Kuba.

    If it means you’ve not been trying as hard as you might have done, get your head together and have a proper run at upper/lower

    Legs again!

    Another good session today. Sticking with the higher reps to look after my knees.

    Pressing session tomorrow which I’m looking forward to

    Few more feeds this evening and then batch cooking tomorrow

    Hi mate,

    How are you getting on with your PPL split at the moment? Are you making progress both with your performance and aesthetic goals?

    Thts probably a good thing to scrutinise before considering making a change

    I’m genuinely shocked

    I know raw aminos are pretty hard to take, but I’ve not experienced an “amino tang” on any of the TBJP products.

    Also, if you meant orange juice as in fresh orange juice, if that’s in any kind of quantity, I’d keep it away from training mate

    Leg day after two days rest, and it was very hideous, which makes me very happy.

    I’m on high reps at the moment, my knees aren’t being much fun with any kind of load through them, so Everything quad is 15-25’s

    Im very pleased that this doesn’t create me issues, but ultimately it’s not what gets my juices going , but needs must

    What DOES get my juices going though, is my favourite intra combo of MPS Max, Sustain, EAA, and Creatine

    There are a number of different schools of thought, and clearly Kuba is very vigilant with his approach.

    I personally, when I was strong, would choose movements that mimicked/were regressions of the main compound I would be doing. This would be followed by many low rep sets of the movement itself.

    Back at it tomorrow. I’ve just sorted all my food prep and have one meal left before bed.

    Hi Jamie,

    Are you training 6 days on the bounce?

    Tht sounds like an already pretty demanding schedule.

    Whilst the additional sets of back could help some further development, there will be a recovery cost. It’s a big muscle group. Factor that in mate

    September 13, 2022 at 8:20 am in reply to: Is this intra workout good?

    Nope , same answer as last time, get mps max. You don’t pay duties when bought from inside the eu . So you have multiple shops in Sweden and the Netherlands , some in France , Ireland , Switzerland . Your going to get the same answer if you keep posting sub par intra products as people here actually know what a gd one is 🙂

    Would EAA+sustain be as good?[/quote]
    Hi mate

    This is a good option, but inferior to MPSmax + sustain.

    Yes good upper session today!!!!

    My usual pre pressing work now

    Cable “Y’s”
    IS Press
    X-over press

    Then main movements for the session were

    Incline smith
    Incline smith skull crusher
    OHP

    Stirrup Pulldown
    Overhand upper back Pulldown

    Then my general conditioning bits

    Couple of rest days now with the way work falls, and then back into it

    Just on mass meal prep, then it’s food and sleep
