Very nice pull session this afternoon
Going in with a lot more confidence in my bicep. I will absolutely not rush, but I will progress, and that’s all I need.
Push session tomorrow where I expect a similar change in feel which will make the difference for me
One meal left tonight. For now, a bit of chill

Hi mate
It’s done, you can’t change it, so no point worrying about it. Get everything you can get on track sorted now (meals, supps, sleep, hydration etc….), that’s controllable.
Get back in the gym understanding you’re well rested and away you go.

Rested today after a good PPL run through.
Enjoying the extended time off work to get some rest in. Busy one during the day tomorrow but will have a chilled evening after my pull session
About to get my steak meal and then sleep

I’m with Marc and Kuba here mate. You’ve said yourself you’re seeing good progress, it’s tempting to always look for more, but balancing the recovery risks that very progress.
It doesn’t have to be fancy!

Hi mate
Sounds like you’re just in a purple patch of recovering performance at the moment, which isn’t uncommon when people have had a break.
If your execution is excellent across rep ranges, progress will be easy to come by as you can make a jump in load to drop you to the bottom end of the rep range for set 1, then reduce the lid for set two. The following session you can max out the top end of the rep range with that same load on set one, then keep the load for set two and expect a rep drop off from set one, but still within the range.
This should then be a repeatable cycle, of course with the load jumps getting smaller and the rep gains less easy to come by as you push new strength territory.

Really happy with today’s leg session. Knees are definitely improving and it’s helping me work without inhibition
Strength has such a long way to go, but I’m ok with that, I know it’ll come, I’ve been strong before and I have the same DNA I did then, my body just needs to be in a good spot.
Two meals left this evening and a rest day tomorrow

JUST made it back for my push session, extra hour and a half added to an already horribly long drive, but made it on time and had a very good workout.
One meal to go tonight and then a good sleep aftwr a long day. Leg session tomorrow which I’m very excited for 💪🏻💪🏻

Pull session today which was really good
Had some kind people take some time over the last few days to give me some advice on my bicep which gave me a shed load more confidence going into my session today
Early start for a LONG drive tomorrow, hoping the traffic is on my side as the gym has reduced opening hours and I’m due a push session 🙌🏻

Lots of the TBJP stuff is capsule collections that don’t get repeated, so as Benners says, you then need to rely on picking one up from someone that was fastest finger first.
Keep an eye out for the newest drops, they’re always pre announced!

Merry Christmas gang.
Rested today, and it really has been a rest day.
I’ve had a good few naps, eaten well, and generally catching up on some rest from a busy year.
At the gym tomorrow, feel nicely rested and very ready.
Pull session incoming

Hi mate,
Strongly urge you not to push through this without getting to the bottom of it.
I spent a lot of years working around things and ended up burying my shoulders – not a good move.
Have someone assess your movement quality and have someone take a look at your shoulder issues mate.

Rest day today guys and a huge amount of travel
I’m well fed and ready to sleep – merry Christmas
-
Hi mate, in addition to the points covered, be mindful of where your training is
If you train late in the evening, you will likely want some carbs to replenish glycogen stores. Or, if you are training early morning, you will most likely want pre-bed carbs to fuel your early session.

Really pleased with legs today. Zero weight used in relative terms, but my knees felt genuinely a lot lot better which gives me a good bit of hope going forwards
I need to be patient cranking the weight as it’s been a long time since I’ve shifted anything actually heavy, and I definitely don’t need an injury. But if I can progress now week on week and actually get after it, I’m going to be very happy
About to get my last meal and then sleep. Couple of days rest now and then at it from Friday
-
Upper session tonight, as good as it’s been, so happy enough for now
Lower tomorrow which is more of a test with the knees, but feels like I’m making progress session on session since the ostinil jabs
Just sorting food prep both for tomorrow and my last meal tonight, then it’s sleep time
Short day tomorrow and then it’s some time off work for a proper shut down
