Hi team, I had a rest day today – not sure how much my knees enjoyed yesterday’s squats, but I’m hammering the Cure Coming and Join-In!

[Rich Ellis]

I’d definitely go with two on, one off, two on, two off.

Whether you choose upper/lower or PPL is down to what your needs are, but I think it’s the right training to rest days

[Rich Ellis]

Basic as basic today which led to a forced step away from the usual philosophy.

A squat variation and a hinge variation. It’s far from ideal, but it’s also not a bad thing with where I’m at. Time to add some lbs to the bar!

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with the gang. Another option is weightlifting shoes.

You can of course also look to alter your stance, but this will change the focus of the movement so you’ll need to come wider whether that’s a viable option.

[Rich Ellis]

It’s been a good weekend of rest, food, and some UFC

Looking forward to this week, I’ll give my shoulders every chance and see if I can use this time productively – that’s the aim.

[Rich Ellis]

Hilly is right, this has been asked a lot, short answer from me is that if you weigh it raw, you will always have a consistent measurement, no variation to come from any inconsistency with cooking

That said, I imagine cooking method will pretty much always be the same, so the most important thing is that you choose something and be as consistent with it

[Rich Ellis]

As I’ve said, bit of an extended rest before deciding to do anything

I’ve been very tired today so the rest is most welcome

[Rich Ellis]

As an intra combo I would definitely say that sustain and MPS are the stand out choices mate

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with Clare mate.

Pump and Dial-In will give you other benefits that you’d like associated with a pre whilst you step away from the stimulant for a while

[Rich Ellis]

Taking a few days rest to let myself fully recover as I finalise my ideas of how to approach this period

I’m less afraid of a sustained period “off” if that’s what I decide. It might be time to focus on the remedial things I’ve ignored and look to fix up some broken bits. I’ll see where I fall

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with the team here, my preferential options would be, in no particular order….

Change of stance
Change of rep range
Shift to single leg variation but via split stance rather than conventional single leg

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day today guys and supp drop also!

Whey
CoR
Love Heart
Cure Coming
Sustain
MPS
Pump
Dial-In

Transition now into a different way of training

[Rich Ellis]

I like it too mate. Plenty of room for recovery here, so if well programmed should yield some great progress

[Rich Ellis]

Wrapped up gym usage with legs.

Let’s see what the next month (or without being cynical, more) brings.

[Rich Ellis]

I definitely wouldn’t bother

Best case scenario it’s expensive flavouring, worst case (and very unlikely) you’re messing with your Leucine refractory period

Use a more conventional flavouring mate
