    Scott Stevenson told me to just get a good wrist one, my wrist one measure pretty close to the one at the doctor.

    Hi mate

    Purely out of interest, what was Scott’s reason for favouring a wrist device? He rarely says something without intelligent reasoning, so I’m interested to understand the rationale if you don’t mind sharing?

    As Hannah and Kiera have said, I’d go with the upper arm and just get a suitably sized cuff. They are available for all of the decent brand units and very much worth the investment

    They’re not required if you don’t feel a need for them, but that doesn’t mean they won’t potentially offer some benefit.

    Plenty of people manage without them, plenty of people swear by them.

    It’s hard to know whether there will be a definite preventative benefit in wearing them, but I have personally found that they help with my beaten up joints, so if I had my time again, probably would utilise them earlier in my training life

    Mate this is totally on you

    It’s your holiday, you spend it how you want to

    If doing a few workouts makes you feel happy, go for it. If you prefer a total rest, also go for it.

    It’s not for any one of us to tell you what to do.

    Hi mate

    On the whole I agree with the guys, but that said, if you feel a legitimate good connection with the movement, it’s not for us to tell you otherwise

    If it’s a good machine and works well with your mechanics, go get it

    Push day

    Seated calf
    Cable laterals

    Good session today. I’ll be pleased when it starts to cool tomorrow, but didn’t affect my performance today

    One meal left this evening , then trying to sleep

    I’m pretty aligned with Phoebe as well mate

    After a sustained break, I’d probably be stopping a rep shy of failure to reset my numbers, which will act as a soft return
