    Hi mate

    I’d keep movements free on this day, so avoid anything chest supported as a primary

    I think Trap Bar DL is a good shout for when you’re confident to tackle it. What are you like with RDL variations? A lot of the time the issue with the conventional DL is the set-up, so an RDL avoids this.

    If that’s a “no go”, then yes, barbell rows and dead stop rows are a good move

    Very much with Jimmy here mate – the site is rich with content that you can learn from and then apply to your specific set of circumstances

    Spend some time in the education section soaking it all up

    Hi mate

    There’s nothing like enough context here.

    Why are sessions only 30mins?

    Legs this evening guys

    Still struggling with my adductor but not having any negative impact on the movement selection I went with

    Leg ext
    Abductor
    Pivot leg press
    Linear leg press
    Seated leg curl

    Not ideal but going into “density” tomorrow – just the way the week has fallen

    Feeding now and then bed

    Do you have a hip hinge in your pull workout?

    If not, I’d drop the SL curl in favour of an RDL/SLD variation

    I’d also lose the drop sets from seated curl and go two straight sets, one RP set

    Just my opinion

    Very much with Hilly. We are all so different. We can’t be grouped simply by a body weight

    I think you need to accept that there will be an amount of difficulty in consuming large amounts of food – eating isn’t much fun when you’re not hungry, so you need to find the best foods to be palatable, and kind on digestion

    So put more in mate ??

    You could mix the two to be more cost effective, maybe 20g of each?

    Hi mate

    How are you struggling to have no carbs? Does it have to be a shake?

    If it does, how much fat do you need?

    PUSH!!

    Really good today.

    Loving the STIM & PUMP combo. I trained late today and it very much had me rolling!

    I also tried adding both my Veggie Might and Join In to my whey shake early in the day – it wasn’t in anyway unpleasant

    Anyway, session was ace. It went…..

    DB Laterals
    Neutral Chest Press
    Guillotine Chest Press
    Underhand Tri ext
    “Fortitude” Tri pushdown
    High inc machine press

    Two rest days now and then back to back on the weekend ??

    October 14, 2020 at 8:27 pm in reply to: Pump & Stim combined VS Prepare, as a pre workout.

    Hi mate

    I think there’s a real personal preference here

    For me, it sounds like fundamentally you get more from Prepare, but would like a bit more of a stim hit?

    If that’s the case, why don’t you either, have prepare with some extra caffeine (coffee, tabs, however)

    OR

    Get a tub of STIM and just add a touch extra to the Prepare?
