Assuming my body worked….

Favourite movement – Bench

Most challenging – Squat (I’d be fixated on a big set of squats weeks in advance)

3 movements – Squat, Bench, BB Row

You’d think so, but I like my steak rare so it can make the bread too soggy. That makes me feel sad ????

Now now Corinne, do I look like I warrant cheat meals?!

Jokes aside, I’m much more savoury and easily pleased.

Steak, salmon, sandwiches/rolls etc would normally do. On a rare occasion I might go pizza, but thin base.

Hi Rich,

I was wondering how long does your workout lasts?

——————

Hi mate.

Sessions are typically 90-120mins

[Rich Ellis]

Hi Rich, could you put the template up this weekend if you’ve got time? Do you find it’s a good workout for strength and size with the straight sets for strength and the 10% sets and clusters for added volume?

Genuinely sorry mate, I just tend to always update from my phone. I’ll be sure to get it posted. Have a great weekend mate

[Rich Ellis]

Today I started the second rotation of my plan.

Straight sets

Biceps and calves

Hammer Curl 2 x 6

EZ Wall Curl 1 x 8, 1 x repeat set

Toe press – 1 x 8, 1 x repeat set

Cluster sets

Narrow Mag Grip Pulldown – 1 x 3 part 10% Set, 1 x 3 part rest pause set

Low pulley Row – 1 x 3 part 10% Set, 1 x 3 part rest pause set

Numbers all up, intensity high, accuracy high… Happy with the work that got done

Rest day tomorrow, then back to it!

[Rich Ellis]

hi rich

do u find that doing the 2 exercises for back is giving u a good feeling of workout I know some do 4-5 exercises for back but I really like the simplicity of this session and was just wondering weather 2 does the trick cheers.

Hi mate

As is usually the case, we have to caveat this with “it depends”.

For me, I also have another session with a further two movements in.

Importantly though, don’t just look at the number of movements, but the number of affective reps brought about by the cluster sets.

[Rich Ellis]

Good session today

Straight sets hams

Paused RDL 2 x 8

GHR 1 x 10, 1 x repeat set

Quads cluster sets

Hack variation 1 x 3-part 10% set, 1 x 3 part rest pause set

Leg press 1 x 3-part 10% set, 1 x 3 part rest pause set

Round to rotation 2 of the plan tomorrow, so that sees the rep targets drop on the straight sets from 8 or 10, to 6 or 8 respectively.

[Rich Ellis]

It would be cool if you posted up the template Rich

I did the 3-part 10% set and cluster set for isolation movements on my push workout this morning and got one hell of a pump! Looking forward to you laying out the template of your workouts so I can incorporate it into my own routine.

Good to hear mate, I’m pleased you enjoyed it. I’ll look to get that up over the weekend for you (pester me if I don’t!)

[Rich Ellis]

YES team!!

Leg day today – Straight sets for Quads, clusters for hams and calves…. I’ll post the session later.

Get it!

[Rich Ellis]

Good session today. Very very very rarely train with anyone but just so happened to be starting at the same time as a mate who is following the same template so we got it on. Nice change.

I had a pleasant and unexpected surprise in that I was able to decline bench press. I don’t even know why I tried, but smith press was uncomfortable in my trial run last week so I gave it a go… It went well. I haven’t consistently managed any barbell pressing for over a decade now, so I won’t hold my breath, but if it holds, I’m in a surprisingly good starting point (hadn’t really expected any residual pressing power)

Enough of that, went on to also do inc DB press, “Kennelly’s”, then onto clusters, which was cable rear delt, and supine cuff laterals.

Good session, happy meat head!
