    Last session out of the gym today. This set up has served me really well, I’ve been incredibly lucky to have it available to me, but now it’s time to have a concerted push

    12 weeks of “go”. Looking forward to getting stuck into the new options available to me

    I’ve needed this deload, I’m ready to rock ??

    Without wishing to be a smart arse – if you love DC, why not move to the 4 day variation?

    What about a digital solution mate? There’s a logbook here in the app? Or download Excel on your phone?

    First of my deload sessions today – pull session.

    Everything will change from next week, but this has come at the right time to freshen me up for a big block

    Food and bed!

    Literally never – embrace the smell!

    Alternatively, yes mate, hand wash, cool water.

    Neoprene style are hard to go wrong with, some of the other materials, go steady on the detergent and how you leave them to dry

    Yeah mate give it a go. You definitely don’t need to be breaking a tooth!

    I remember they were really popular in strength circles for a while.

    I can’t remember how supported the idea was by literature, but claims of neural fatigue reduction and strength gain were cited

    Rest today guys, before a deload week ahead of getting back into the gym proper

    More UFC to catch up on and somehow I’ve managed to avoid any results

    Agree with Clare, a squat and a press variation would be the ideal

    As for the hack, if you don’t have one, you don’t have one, so find a stance that allows the V-Squat to prioritise the quads, or look at a smith squat set-up, or evening your “hammer hack” that does similar.

    Good push session today, which as we know is rare for me

    Also the last full volume session before making it back into a full gym

    I’ll have a low volume week ready to go into a period of growth.

    I’m still pretty heavy and finding it easy, so feel I’m in a good position to take a big push forwards

    Hi mate

    Firstly, I’m not sure if you attached the pics? I can’t see them.

    More importantly mate, what do you want to do? It sounds like you’re relatively newly back, it sounds like you’re responding well, but what’s your driver?

    We can all input objectively on what we feel would be best for your physique development, but we can’t tell you what motivates you.

    Welcome back bud!
