I don’t know why you’d choose it if you don’t “need” to….

[Rich Ellis]

Good rest today gang. I’ve done little but eat and rest which is exactly what I needed

Steak meal before bed, and a bit more chilling out

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday

[Rich Ellis]

If hunger is an issue through the day, add to those meals

HOWEVER

It also depends how you structure your post workout nutrition

If you have an extended gap post workout to your next meal, I’d be keen to increase your intra – but that’s just me

[Rich Ellis]

Have you looked at other variables first mate?

Movement selection? Movement execution? Muscle group prioritisation?

Some of these can often be overlooked

[Rich Ellis]

And that’s a wrap, all 6 sessions now completed

Bit of an alteration needed to my second leg session, I don’t like the GHD so I’ll have to use the seated leg curl again, but I don’t mind that

Went….

Loaded sets

-Adductor
-RDL
-GHD (subbing seated leg curl next time)

Cluster sets

-Leg extension
-Hack

Very much ready for some rest tomorrow and I have nothing planned, so will get a full recovery day in

Have a great weekend team

[Rich Ellis]

I’m not surprised mate, that’s a lot of demand if you’re really going at it

I’d either go 2 on, 1 off, or have a rest day either side of legs or pull

Problem with 2 on 1 off is you’ll end up having legs and pull next to each other at some point, and that’s not ideal unless you’ve programmed for it

[Rich Ellis]

Another one in the bag – pull variation 2

Loaded sets
– Cable Curl
– DB Curl

Clusters
– Upper back row
– Assisted Chin
– Calf Raise

[Rich Ellis]

Personally I would run a PPL and just stick to a pattern where I don’t train more than two on the bounce but equally be comfortable that it will, at times, be day on, day off.

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with Clare, and please don’t get SO tied up in stability that it becomes the defining factor for everything

It’s a consideration, but it’s not a blanket.

[Rich Ellis]

Push day today, second variation, really happy with the movements, no shoulder issues which is happy!

*Loading Sets
Calf raise
Lateral Raise
Close grip neutral press

*Clusters
Guillotine machine press
Pec fly

Really happy with this return to the gym. Excited or my pull session tomorrow, but first food and rest!

[Rich Ellis]

Is trap development a priority mate? Or are they a strong area for you?

Have you been training throughout lockdown? Are tge sessions you’re doing now that gyms are open different – ie, do you have a novel stimulus?

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with Clare mate, that’s exactly how it should look – great job

[Rich Ellis]

I’ve rested today, which was needed after yesterday’s leg session!

Tomorrow takes me back round to push, but my second variation of the session ??

[Rich Ellis]

Any reason for opting for a liquid meal mate?

As Clare and Hilly have also asked, what’s the reason for avoiding fats?

[Rich Ellis]

That’s the one mate!

On an aside, what’s the issue with your legs mate?
