Or band one of them, then it’s a very different movement

[Rich Ellis]

Bounced back after a shite session yesterday and had a good pull session today

Chest supp upper back row
Incline bench row
Neutral Pulldown
Stirrup Pulldown
Low pulley row
Cable conc curl
Seated DB curl

Rest tomorrow, then pressing on Tuesday

[Rich Ellis]

I’m with Joe, single Leg is a strong option.

Banding will get you a good bit of progress but does change the loading profile of the movement

Whilst your health/safety is paramount, do respect your facility as well mate if you’re not the gym owner. Have a conversation with the owner about whether he/she is comfortable with you overloading the kit…. unless of course the gym is yours ????

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with the gang. Further, could well be doing yourself a favour to reset between reps, especially as you fatigue. It’s easy for form to start to slip at the end of a set, this should help maintain movement integrity

That’s a great point Rich, thanks![/quote]
Always mate

[Rich Ellis]

I’m with Jimmy, that’s an easy fix

Thank you! So I will stick with it and I ll find the way! ???????? [/quote]
Let us know how it goes!

[Rich Ellis]

Today did not go as well as it might have

My lower back loading session has come two days earlier than normal and it told

I consolidated and matched last sessions numbers. Not what I wanted, but it’s what I got.

Next time I’m climbing!

[Rich Ellis]

I’m with Jimmy, that’s an easy fix

[Rich Ellis]

I think it depends what the rest of your loading looks like

For example, if you have a deadlift variation in, the answer may be different to if you don’t

I think the spread of answers shows that there’s no exact science to this.

As Jamie said, go with what you feel fits you best, BUT, that may not be a movement on this piece at all.

[Rich Ellis]

My second push session, which is more of a delts and tris as I leave my chest out of it

Cuff laterals
Smith OH press
Rope overhead
Kennellys

Good session, numbers moving the right way and appear to be managing my shoulders

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day today gang.

Rest of the week is totally messed up because of closure days next week, so it’s just a case of smashing it and worrying about recovery afterwards

[Rich Ellis]

As with most of this – why?

Assess your goals. Assess the nutritional profile to optimise teaching said goals. Implement nutrition plan

[Rich Ellis]

Legs today guys

Prone curl
Linear leg press
45 deg Leg Press
Smith squat
GHR

This will now be interesting as I don’t have long to recover until my lower back loading session – we shall see!

[Rich Ellis]

My opinion is that it would need to be meticulously programmed

It’s very common in weightlifting, quite common in other strength sports, but these are performance focussed, segmented, and very rarely maximal
