Hi mate

Just be careful not to be putting too much stress through that too early.

If you want to Powerlift, a strapless deadlift is necessary, so a mixed grip is an option. So too though is a hook grip if you can master that?

You know where you messed up. It happens. Just keep that arm straight !!

[Rich Ellis]

Tricep has healed at some rate!

I’m resting it today and tomorrow, then will pick up in full again as of Sunday starting with legs

Been a massively full on two weeks with a big refurb of the gym floor with the global leaders in performance flooring.

Ace project, proud of the guys, looking forward to lifting on it!!

[Rich Ellis]

Very much a bitty bobby session today. Shocked at how fast my tricep has healed up, but not gone in balls deep on anything for precautions sake.

I did a little chest press to test the water, all good but aware of it as the load increased.

Moved on to some lateral raises, a few curl movements and a pushdown.

Confident it will be ready to go next week so clearly not as bad as I first feared

Hi mate

Echoing Claire and Tim in that it’s a personal preference.

If you are deloading you will need to consider whether you take an intensity drop or a volume drop.

Also a good point from Tim, three on the bounce when you’re progressing every session is quite aggressive. Think about introducing the extra rest days to keep you progressing

[Rich Ellis]

Tricep feels better than it might have today, certainly didn’t in any way impede my leg session.

Still in the other gym due to refurb so was as follows

Leg ext
Hack squat
Leg curl
Pendulum leg press (as inspired by Jordan and Kuba. No convulsions though so must try harder!)

[Rich Ellis]

Yep with the guys on this. It’s highly likely that there are some movements available which don’t aggravate the issue. Do though be honest with yourself about it, don’t be a hero and cause yourself some damage

[Rich Ellis]

Bit of a tricep tear on my down set of decline bench today. Not a happy meathead!

[Rich Ellis]

I would think most of the guys on here will come back with a similar answer mate, along the lines of “train it better”.

Find movements that are appropriate for creating the required stimulus, then apply the JP Principles

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day today guys. Got a big push session tomorrow so hoping the shoulders continue to behave and I can creep the numbers

[Rich Ellis]

Do you have a budget mate?

[Rich Ellis]

Pull day after my training break.

Definitely benefited from it, I was feeling fresh and strong (for me) so happy I made the call.

Bit of a back to basics session as the gym is under refurbishment so limited kit.

Barbell RDL (full reps, plates touching platform)
Bench row
Single arm DB bench row

Incline DB bicep curl

[Rich Ellis]

hey simon

do you specifically need to improve your squat?

if not each leg session will have the same focus in terms of muscular contractions and recruitment so the specific exercise doesn’t matter so much

if you see what I mean?

This is true, but in true “Trained By JP” (Coached By Corinne ????) style, we’d still want to see the squat progress session to session wouldn’t we?

To that end, I think the answer is quite individual. There’s no way I would have been able to progress a squat with no axial loading every week, so with a rotation, I’d have had to do something like squat, Safety Squat Bar Squat, Box/Band Squat as “like for likes”. Others are able to rotate and improve with no issue.

You’re probably someone that would be able to do that, just because if nothing else, you’re too bloody stubborn to be beaten by an inanimate object ????????

[Rich Ellis]

As the guys have said, there’s a tonne of variables to consider here.

Just be sure that liking the idea of something doesn’t detract from the end goal

There are of course ways to do it, I know Jord has a protocol for 3 day a week leg training that he really rates (I can’t find it) but that doesn’t mean it would be immense for me or for you.

[Rich Ellis]

Hi guys

Sorry for the leave of absence, I’ve been away at FIBO with work and have taken a much needed few days rest from training.

Eaten really well, feel good for the rest, I’m looking forward to getting back in tomorrow

[Rich Ellis]

I feel we are fortunate enough in a large majority of gyms with the kit that’s now available to move away from purely DB and cable work. It still has its place but when loads start to really increase I feel it can be safer to use the machines for certain movements. And when training alone I feel this is even more beneficial.

Tim makes a really good point here. I train by myself, and my session is over if there isn’t someone capable in the gym to help me when I’m doing a DB or a BB press.
