    DB RDL will allow you to manipulate the line of pull

    Joe makes a good point though, they’re not very practical if you’re strong

    Putting tension on the bar to make a smooth pull us a good call

    Retracting your shoulder blades though will put you at a mechanical disadvantage.

    Push them “down”, yes, but pull them back, no.

    If you’re able to progress, great!

    As Jamie said, at some point, one day, you’ll get to a point where you struggle, but there’s no need to rush. If you can tolerate a surplus that allows you to progress, it’s a good place to be!

    I had a press session today. It’s not how I like to train, but taking my shoulders to failure just isn’t helping them out!

    Machine press
    Dip machine
    Close grip decline press
    Shallow incline DB press

    3 Sets Of 8 on each, no fail points as yet

    If you’re spread out enough I’m
    Inclined to agree with James

    Pick two, go after them, milk every ounce of progress out of them, then deload and start again with new movements

    Just to note, your accessory work should reflect your performance needs, not necessarily what others do or what you’ve been doing for hypertrophy

    It’s an incredibly simple process

    Lift

    Identify weak links

    Appropriately select and implement accessory work/strategy to strengthen weakness

    Lift

    Identify new weak links

    Etc etc….

    if intensity is super high even 3 exercises could be enough… I’ve had sessions with as little as 4 to 5 working sets that have broken me and left me feeling brilliant. definately stimulating some growth
    just give everything to the sets that you do perform and you are good .. easy and sounds so simple!

    Agreed, but you are not a good measure for others mate. You are one of the strongest guys in the country, the amount of damage you can create, both muscularly and neurally, is not replicable by most

    In short, most will need more volume than you to create the same stimulus

    I like Hilly’s

    As Clare said, rearrange so you are carb high before bed, but on waking have that isolate and “fast” carb shake
