    Hi mate

    If you do have sleep apnea, that’s a big cause of raised BP, but I would agree that low 130’s on its own isn’t hugely alarming.

    TBJP Love Heart has helped A LOT of people lower BP, so worth looking into if you do want to address the concern.

    Pull session tonight and a really good one. Nice step forward in loading, but still feeling safe.

    Don’t get me wrong, it should feel safe, it’s a long way from heavy, but it’s on the up,

    Just about to sort my last meal and then it’s sleep time

    Push tomorrow 🙌🏻

    I’m adding to the consensus here mate, not something you want

    If you want to put some videos up with minimal weight, we can take a look at your starting form.

    Rest day today to start the working week.

    Had a very good sleep last night and the day has flown by today.

    Meal prep all done, just one meal left to go, then it’s sleep time

    Pull tomorrow

    Hi mate

    I don’t like it very much to be honest.

    The purpose of your warm up is to put you in the best possible position to perform your working sets.

    I personally don’t think you’re going to get that from the approach you’ve outlined above.

    Very good leg session this afternoon. The best I can remember in a long long time.

    I’ve got a lot of work to do before I’m strong, but if I can work hard in the way I did today, I’m confident that will come.

    In reality though, it’s the working hard I want and need, the strength will be a bonus that comes with it.

    About to sort my last meal and then it will be sleep time

    Rest day tomorrow, then back in on Tuesday

    Yep, heavy and light is obviously relative, but using rep ranges to define that is most sensible.

    You don’t HAVE to have that rep differentiation, but it does work well for a lot of people.

    Really good upper session today. Real buzz in the gym, which meant it was really busy, but a good vibe.

    Legs tomorrow and hoping my knee plays more nicely than it did last time out. The general trend is positive, but need to not have “off” sessions

    About to sink my last meal and then sleep time

    Agree with the guys, if you are looking for a productive outcome, some sensible consideration to why and how you are doing things is important

    If you are literally just going to the gym for enhanced wellbeing, no issue, crack on, but if you’re looking to get a performance or aesthetic progression, don’t leave stuff to random.

    Rest day today for me

    I thought I’d got to the bottom of the water retention issue, but it’s back with a bang. I think I know what I need to do, but it’s highly annoying

    Just cooked my last meal so about to feed and then sleep

    Upper day tomorrow 😍

    Hi mate

    At the moment I’m going oats, whey, desiccated coconut, blueberries

    That’s hitting the mark

    Legs tonight

    Knees didt enjoy it as much as they have done, but still managed good work

    Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow, although it looks like we’ll be snowed in so pleased that won’t be impacting a session!

    About to get my last meal and then sleep, see what weather the night brings!

    Really like this split mate.

    I personally don’t think you need two rotations, but I do agree you should, where possible, try to have a distinction between movements in your PPL and UL portions of the split.

    Why don’t you throw up what you’ve got if you want some feedback?

    Push tonight

    Didn’t make me particularly happy. Not my best session. Bit of a pec twinge

    Just waiting on my last meal and then it’s food and sleep

    Legs tomorrow and then a rest

    Feeling it this week. Straight back into a busy work schedule which has taken it out of me more than expected – time to toughen up 😂
