Hi mate,

Genuinely, with no hint of bias, no single product has helped keep my BP so on check as LOVE HEART does

That and Cure Coming are the first two products on my list every month

[Rich Ellis]

If buying this means something else gets left out, I personally wouldn’t prioritise a GDA with that carb intake

That said, if you can fit it in, I’m with the gang on where to use it

[Rich Ellis]

Rested today guys. I haven’t done a lot today at all, which I quite needed.

I’m looking forward to training tomorrow, but around that, another day of doing not a lot will suit me nicely

[Rich Ellis]

I’m with Clare. Obviously if for whatever reason you’re trying to make a direct comparison with someone, you’ll need to understand where they measured, otherwise, just be the same point every time

[Rich Ellis]

Pull day today gang, and this is a session where the basics are on the money!

Prone DB Upper Back Row
Incline prone SA DB Row
Overhand Pull-up
Barbell row
Seated DB Curl

3 work sets of each got the job done

Resting tomorrow, food and sleep on the cards for now!!

[Rich Ellis]

I think if you have sufficient load to work to failure within a sensible rep range, and you have enough movement variations, you’re good to go mate

As the guys say, recovery will be a combination of programming and control of external factors – that would be try in or out of a gym

Get it mate!!

[Rich Ellis]

Rest today guys. Knees feeling surprisingly ok after legs yesterday, box squats definitely the better option!

Pull day tomorrow ??

[Rich Ellis]

I always find this interesting, and it really seems to be an individual thing

Lifestyle behaviours will have a big impact, but importantly, a routine through the day, and a pre-training routine will help get you in the right place

[Rich Ellis]

Basic legs!!

Band close stance squats (warming up knees)

Box squat

Lunges

The box squats were definitely kinder on the knees than a conventional squat so I’m happy to have them as an option moving forwards

[Rich Ellis]

Hi Dean,

What’s the logic here mate? Any particular reason it’s a preference to run two sets in the same rep range?

[Rich Ellis]

Rested up today guys with legs ahead of me tomorrow

Looking forward to getting stuck in after a bit of an extended break to settle my knees

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

It’s a really good combo, but remember that neither are stimulant focussed, so if that’s something you want from a pre, you should consider the combo, or, find a stimulant from another source

[Rich Ellis]

Totally agree with Clare. On the surface, I’d say those three sessions back to back without a rest would be hard to recover from if you’re properly going at them.

However – if your logbook tells you you progress week on week, you’re doing something right!

[Rich Ellis]

I went unconventional. Knees still feeling crappy. In a normal gym world, I’d be cracking on, with only a barbell, I need to rethink

I’ve opted to push today and do legs on Wednesday

DB Lateral Raise
High incline press
Flat press
Kennelly’s

Happy with how pressing is feeling. Genuinely a surprise, and I’m not taking it for granted as I’m not yet strong, but it’s a nice gift that I’m making the most of!

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

I’m not sure there’s a right or wrong here, it sounds like you’re in tune with your recovery capability, and ultimately, that’s the rate limiter.

If you can progress these sustainably, I see no issue at all with giving it a run.

Alternatively, you could run a priority rotation, picking flat and front delt press in one session, then high incline and tricep press in the other and running two sets of each.
