    I’m not sure I’d change structure for a one off.

    I’d just pick up where I left off

    Where you’re at is where you’re at. You’ve achieved the level of development you have with that level of strength.

    Muscular size is of course not the sole determinant of strength, but as we know, the mantra on here is that if we keep exercise execution consistent (let’s assume that’s good) and improve the load used in the desired rep range, there will be a forced adaptation (as a caveat, assuming all your other ducks are in a row)

    There are undoubtedly a number of systems that work for gaining muscle tissue.

    If you are training shy of failure, you will be able to tolerate more volume. If you are not someone that can really put yourself in “that” place, then a low volume high intensity approach probably won’t yield the best results for you, but if you can, it’s hugely effective.

    If not wearing a belt is the limiting factor, wear a belt.

    I don’t think it’s a question of chasing the scales mate, you just don’t need to add 10lbs a week.

    As Ryan said, if you’re stalled, you need to up kcals. Find the sweetspot of moving it up but not drastically

    Today I trained

    Load – Chest

    Machine press
    Inc Smith

    Machine press felt as good as I can remember and let me work. Incline Smith was better than expected so I’m happy

    Clusters – Back

    Stirrup Pulldown
    Narrow neutral Pulldown

    Rest tomorrow and then arms and delts on Tuesday

    I’m starting my 4th week now and starting to feel a bit heavier so will check and monitor body weight from here

    In line with the guys

    Of course it can be done, but I’d choose a single leg leg press over this

    Split stance can be a good alternative too
