    Back in the gym with push

    Session split into two sections – straight sets and clusters

    The straight sets focussing on loading, the clusters still operating with a progressive overload theme, but helping increase the density of stimulating reps

    *Straight Sets*
    Machine rear delt
    Incline machine press
    Machine OHP

    *Clusters*
    Seated DB Laterals
    Rope overhead Tri ext
    Tri push down

    Kcals sat at 6,000 as a start point

    Pull tomorrow

    I do this too mate – only thing to be aware of is how raw oats sit with you vs cooked oats.

    It’s a smart system, clusters are the king for high density of stimulating reps, but there’s so many good responses on here

    It’s easy isn’t it to want to do the fancy shiny new system. In cutting out the basics, you hamper yourself.

    Be patient. Do what’s best for you right now

    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

    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
