Agree with Clare, there are a lot of bodily processes that require fats to optimally function
What does your diet look like?

Can you get some resistance bands if you can’t get more straight weight?

Rest day today guys.
Shoulders happily feeling good after yesterday’s pressing, but a prudent measure to keep this rest day in none tge less
Heavy pull session tomorrow, very much ready to roll with it. Nearly time for food and then resting up for the night
-
Felt really well rested for my session today, and that was complemented by the new STIM 2.0. If you like a “stimmy” pre, I urge you to try it!!
Recovery, frequency, movement selection…. it all feels in a good place at the moment, probably the best it has in recent memory.
Performance continues to improve session after session. Thts the main aim at the moment
Cable laterals
DB laterals
Overhead rope Tri ext
Parallel bar dips
DB shoulder press
Paused DB flat pressAs I have been, and as things have been working nicely…. rest tomorrow to allow shoulders maximum opportunity to recover, then heavy pull on weds ??

Jump on the education section of the site mate. Work through the videos. Invest time in furthering your understanding of the underlying principles. It will be time well spent!!

Hi mate
You clearly have a really good idea of what you’re looking for, but it’s such better value to get adjustable, be it plate added, or powerblock style
-
Rested up today. Perfectly timed but feeling excited for tomorrow’s push session.
I weighed in this morning and tipped tge scales at 304lbs. I anticipate things slowing down a little now, which is right. Focus will remain on performance increase. With recovery factors in place, the rest should take care of itself.
On another note, great first ufc card of 2021. Really spectacular performance from Max. Absolute lesson!!

Agree with @haider-mehdi , it would be good to understand what the energy cost/safety risk is? Do you have an image/video?
With floor press, it will depend a lot on your dimensions. There’s no difference in range for me, the bar touches my chest on a floor press, but others might be different. This will obviously shift where and how it adds value
Consider loaded push-ups, DB press variations, and dip set ups
-
I’d have an extra rest day in there mate, three on the bounce is heavy going when it’s consistently programmed. Assuming you’re a “flat out” guy of course
-
Perhaps others might be able to make more sense of it, but this isn’t overly clear.
You’ve given us very little useful information to work with.

Calves and arms today guys.
Numbers and/or reps increase on all movements. Everything feeling good, body playing ball!
Session went
Calf raise
Inc dB curl
Ez curl
Kennellys
Floor French pressHigher volume on these movements, the focus is to get them strong.
I’m tired this evening. It’s been a good training week but I’m looking forward to resting tomorrow
Enjoying a rare live UFC card and getting the food put away
See where weight is at tomorrow. I’m expecting a bit of a jump!

Take a look at the list of pros mate. Plenty with a full head of hair after many years in the game!

What’s felt like another long working week has wrapped up, and I polished it off with a strong leg session.
I’m really happy with how it’s all going, nearly two rotations through and all the base numbers are on the climb.
Body feels good, I feel heavy, but I’m happy.
Session was low in variety, I’m working with movements that allow uninhibited effort
It went
Standing leg curl
Sissy squat
Machine squat
BB RDLI’ll be on calves and arms tomorrow, then resting Sunday
I hope everyone has a good weekend ahead, and for those of you that managed to get some TBJP kit from the new drop, good job, it went FAST!!

I think there would have to be a significant amount of clothing for this to be in any way an issue
