Obviously Bish is the Devine one here as we are talking pulls.

For me, I agree with him that getting a good grip of convention pulling will give you an excellent foundation, you can then nuance to a stiff leg or RDL as you want/need to specialise.

Upper session tonight. Very good one, everything felt very comfortable which was a nice feeling to just get on and work.

Lower tomorrow 🙌🏻

Food prep is done, just about to sort my last meal and then it’s sleep time

Hi mate

I don’t like 6 days in a row. It’s really pushing it with allowing recovery

Upper/lower/rest repeated will do you absolutely great if you programme it intelligently.

Genuinely doesn’t need to be more complicated than that mate

Good leg session today. Knees really starting to play ball now as the ostinil plus appears to be kicking in – to the point I tested both the hack and the pendulum which haven’t even been in consideration. Big difference between an empty sled and loaded, but we’ll see how it goes

Resting tomorrow, one meal to sink tonight then sleep

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

I don’t think tht works well, that means you’d be doing pulls in consecutive sessions

I personally wouldn’t try to push the frequency of your SLDL too much, I’d just concentrate on progressing it every time it comes around

Pretty good upper session today. Gym was busy with a good vibe for Finn’s team catch up so had to be a bit flexible.

Also had to buy a new fridge freezer as my second one has given up.

Other than that, food shopping, bit of work, and feeding.

Just about to have my last meal now, then sleep time

Legs tomorrow

Hi mate

Any obvious differences in mobility and/or strength

Pop some pics up for us to take a look at

Rest day today! Long but good day at work, just about to do my last meal and then I’ll be sleeping

Upper day tomorrow as well as shopping for a new fridge freezer 😒

Yep, I’m in the vanilla gang – it’s the most versatile to add stuff to!

Whey isolate I’m also a vanilla guy, but also like cereal milk.

Hi mate

What’s leading to you having to wait an hour?

When you say you’d like it to be 30mins, what’s the barrier?

[Rich Ellis]

Legs tonight

Pretty good on the whole. Other than someone doing a set on the hip press, then vanishing for 45mins leaving their stuff on it.

Resulted in me having a play on the other leg press which was acceptable

Resting tomorrow, then back to gym on Saturday – just waiting for last meal. Then feed and sleep

[Rich Ellis]

Push session tonight which was pretty good. Still not having the nicest time with my chest pressing, I need to address that bit on the whole everything is making progress

Just making my last meal, then sleep, legs tomorrow

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

If you do have sleep apnea, that’s a big cause of raised BP, but I would agree that low 130’s on its own isn’t hugely alarming.

TBJP Love Heart has helped A LOT of people lower BP, so worth looking into if you do want to address the concern.

[Rich Ellis]

Pull session tonight and a really good one. Nice step forward in loading, but still feeling safe.

Don’t get me wrong, it should feel safe, it’s a long way from heavy, but it’s on the up,

Just about to sort my last meal and then it’s sleep time

Push tomorrow 🙌🏻

I’m adding to the consensus here mate, not something you want
