    I don’t think there’s any harm in trying a three rotation set-up, provided of course you have the access to a wide enough variety of equipment to allow like for like substitutions

    I’m typically with Oscar and prefer the more frequent visiting of movements that a two rotation set up gives, but no harm in trying it

    Agree with Hilly mate, you should be super proud of your progress. I know we are each typically our own harshest critic, and there are benefits to that, but it will serve you well to take a step back and acknowledge things you do well

    Rest day today guys. Ready for legs tomorrow, although I’m not going to get enough sleep tonight which is frustrating, but life happens sometimes I guess

    Resting up tomorrow, it’s been a very long few days, but happy with my sessions

    The gyms at Loughborough are excellent. Just bare in mind that there is very much a performance sport focus rather than an aesthetic development drive.

    That’s Powerbase, which is within the Performance Centre

    Holywell Gym is now really well equipped also, and possibly better focussed as a bodybuilding gym given a wider variety of machine based kit

    Out of interest – I noticed there are a few gym Owners on here, do gyms according to government guidelines have to have a booking in system? Have the government said this HAS to happen?
    I personally will be leaving it a few days as I can imagine my gym
    Would be absolutely ram packed

    _________________________________________

    I think the point of the booking system is to prevent them being packed mate….

    Good leg session today guys. Knees are playing ball much more since switching session structure

    Loaded hams today with clusters following on quads and calves.

    I’ll look to push volume a touch when I get back to a full gym with more options, but happy with where BW is sat now so I’m in a really comfortable position

    Hi mate

    Ultimately this needs to be self-driven. It’s very hard for us to tell you what should get your juices going, as is it hard for us to tell you that you should feel a certain way.

    You seem to have an idea about what you want to achieve in your next training block, so I’d strongly recommend that you get yourself over to the education section, start looking at which structures best suit you and where you are, have a go at putting something together, and then we can help feed back.
