    Agreed with the gang

    I don’t think anyone will dispute that your requirements are exactly that, yours. Not Jordan’s or James’s or Joe’s or Kuba’s…. yours

    So to a degree the question is the same that we all face

    What do “unchangables” in life leave our circumstances looking like? How can we optimise those changables? What does that leave our recovery capacity at, and then how do we match training load? Exercise selection will be a further consideration but I’m trying to look at this broadly rather than in detail

    Hi mate

    Sweden was excellent, was out with eleiko which was most enjoyable

    Sadly not with the clusters. I still think it’s optimal (when you find the number of fail points that work for you) but my shoulder took a bad step backwards so I’ve reverted to a simple split until it’s remedied

    Hi mate

    As eluded to, your mental health is priority, so do what is necessary for the best quality of life

    If Claire’s suggestion of using cardio/mobility work isn’t a satisfactory substitute, look to manage volume and intensity with frequency being elevated

    Hi mate

    I’d suggest revisiting your pre-session preparatory/warm up/mobility routine

    That aside, don’t fall into thinking that a squat variation absolutely has to be early in the order

    Ill echo the guys, Supp Needs BP stack is ace, cardio is important, and as another point, don’t add your weight too quickly

    Probably because they are a movement that few people can do technically well

    If you can, and you like them, do them!
