    Good call mate. Swiss bar can be another variation, or dumbbells in a neutral grip

    Get it!!

    Agree with Ryan, I think Yamamoto have it locked down at the moment

    That said, the Supp Needs iso is also excellent

    An adductor machine will obviously help you target them directly. Wider stances on pressing movements/squat will also engage them more

    Back from Sweden and ironing out my last few acclimation sessions before I go at it

    Pretty much decided on split and movements, but a couple more sessions just to be sure

    So this month has been the biggest sh*t storm my training had ever been.

    This week though has got me back in the swing, with the highlight being my start of the week session with Haider that really set the tone of what all my sessions need to be like

    I now have a 3 day break as I’m off to Sweden with work, but I then have a good sustained run.

    Next week will be my final acclimation sessions and then it’s go time

    I believe Dr Mike has put a chart together

    Of course, there is the normal caveat of “it depends”

    SSB squats have their merits, but I personally think are a little more risky for lower back.

    The hand placement on the bar makes it hard to create any passive upper back tension, so if you’re not “on it” for every moment of every set, it can go wrong.

    The bar also sits very high on your neck, which turns your back into a long lever, which means the musculature of your lower back has a lot of work to do to keep things tidy

    Hi mate

    It’s not “wrong”, but the conventional way…. or more, the way most of us do it, is to have a loading set of 5-8 reps, the a back off or “down” set of 12-15 reps.

    Just to pick up, obviously depends how new you are to this, but watch some of the videos of Jord, Corinne, Kuba, James….. compare your “struggle” to the place they go and reflect honestly on how hard you go

    Hope that helps mate
