    I’m with Joe, 5-6 on the bounce is not sustainable if you’re spanking your sessions

    I think it depends where you are in your development and training age

    It can definitely be effective, but I’m going to give the predictable answer…. “it depends” on A LOT

    Leg Ext (rest pause)
    Hack (straight sets)
    Leg press (straight sets)
    Lunges (straight sets)
    GHR (straight sets)

    I like Oscar’s suggestion of having a chest priority and delt priority push session split

    Other than that it might just be time to rotate movements, sadly it’s unlikely that we can linearly progress indefinitely without a stimulus change

    Keep the log book moving mate and chances are you’re doing something right!

    I had my second push session today

    This is where it gets frustrating as the orders are very minimal load through the shoulders, ideally next to nothing

    No in essence this is not much more than a tricep session. Not much fun, not exciting, but doing as I’m told for once, it can’t get any worse!

    I’ll echo Corinne but suggest a wider grip than conventional

    As deep as you can go before knee angle or posture become compromised

    Stick to and optimise PPL mate.

    Worth remembering you have the luxury of 4 day’s recovery after the training days

    Probably would also not run pull and legs on consecutive days

    So it’s back to basics for me until I’m mended.

    Today was very simply a lower back loading session. Took it too far by working multiple sets of

    SSB Squat
    RDL
    Block pull

    Calf work

    I’ll swap out the SSB Squats for belt squat I think, and the block pull for a dead stop row. It was a poorly structured session.
