    There isn’t much to add here other than method of deload

    If you are keen to stay in the gym and continue your movements, you can consider a drop in load, but still operate to the same rep ranges (I.e, your set is not taking you to a fail point)

    Another thing to consider is if you have a wholesale change of movements rotating in after the deload, this can be a good time to have a sighting session to feel the movements and find out where you are. That said, it’s easy to overcook it with new movements so this will require discipline to ensure you aren’t working close to a fail point

    I’m with the giant, there’s more movement variations there than you’re giving credit to!

    Lots can be done with a subtle enough shift

    Hi mate

    Agree with the guys here

    Isolation work first, higher rep sets, utilising bands on movements that it makes a good difference to

    Very much with Clare mate

    We know it’s going to be hard and uncomfortable at times, but the point at which that is genuinely not sustainable, we need to look at the bigger picture, and if it’s 4 steps forward and 1 back so you can take another 4 forwards, that’s a good decision

    Yeah I like the split in this instance – one chest focussed one delt focussed , I think that’s an approach worth trying

    I think you’ve answered your own question mate. No point stretching to three sessions if some of those movements are weaker options
