Either can work well mate. I assume by “t bar” you don’t mean the chest supported variation. I think if you’re going to use a row, it has to be a heavy free row that will engage the lower back and erectors.

I think most will suggest that you do a DL variation each session, and a chest supported row variation each session. They will be the staples and then you can build the rest around what you have available/what you need to do.

In short, both can work.

Rest day today after my push session yesterday. I have Pull tomorrow with RDL in and I know it will stress my AC joint, so the extra days rest is prudent.

[Rich Ellis]

That’s super rough! Makes my minor pec tear and tricep tendonitis look like the common cold ahah!

Glad too see you are cracking on regardless, keen for the footage!

Thanks mate, looking forward to getting some done as well 🙂

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

Personally I’d have more of a difference in rep ranges when you have two distinct sets. For example, an 8-10 and a 10-12 is not a big shift.

You’ve got about a week before that’s a problem for you to solve ????

[Rich Ellis]

First push session of the new block and really happy with it

Incline DB press x 2
Dips x 2
High Inc machine OHP x2
Cuff Laterals x 2

X-over tri ext 1x RP, 1 x MR
Ez french Press 2 x RP

[Rich Ellis]

I’d still back off as you’re unlikely to get many out of going heavier given that you went in on that first set! Make a note in your log book and the progress will then come next time around as you can go for more load straight out on that first set.

This.

An all out set of RDL will likely near end you, so chances of a productive second set of increasing the weight are slim.

Rectify the loading error next time out.

Must be said though, good job hitting 2 extra reps!

[Rich Ellis]

Depends on a lot of factors that ultimately lead to your capacity to recover

Two on, one off, repeat

Or

Two on, one off, one on, one off, repeat

Or

day on day off

One of those should hook you up ok mate

[Rich Ellis]

Great leg session today. First of the new block, looked like this….

Leg ext 2 x MR
Hack squat 2 x straight set
Split stance leg press 2 x straight set

Prone leg curl 1 x RP, 1 x MR
45 deg. hyper (ham & glute focus) 2 x straight sets

[Rich Ellis]

Thanks for the input guys. There was a reason for it initially as my shoulder doesn’t like back to back upper body sessions but looking back at it now after doing a few of these workouts I’m going to adjust it to PPL.

Leg day was brutal, hadn’t gone heavy in a awhile and I’m going to have to take those rest days either side. As for single leg RDls, they can be done semi heavy with the other hand holding on to something for stability, but I might sub it after I try that workout. And wide leg leg press is just to try bring up ham and glutes as a focus. But happy for any suggestions?

Cheers!

Sound like you’ve got bases covered mate.

Regarding single leg RDL, just be honest with yourself on that movement mate. As soon as you allow yourself something to stabilise on, it’s easy for it to become an assistant in the lift (I’m telling you things you already know, but reminders are handy)

With wide single leg leg press, I just find this an odd movement. Usually anything a good distance outside of your centre line will still have the other leg working as an anchor to keep the hip girdle stable. By all means try the movement, but look out for a lot of pelvic shift.

Aside from those thoughts, go get it mate !!!!

If you want a flat shoe, as much as it pains me, vibrams are an excellent choice. Just don’t expect anyone to talk to you ????

I get silent treatment once I get my toes out haha

Hahahaha, your response was a key driver for my “funny” comment ????

Definitely an excellent shoe

[Rich Ellis]

New block started today. Very happy with the last block. Not much in the way of physique development but my body has held together and I’ve gained some strength, now I’m going to nudge things up a few notches and try to grow some muscles ????????

I’ll be running a more conventional Push/Pull/Legs split, with two sessions for each.

Today, Pull 1

Barbell Row
Underhand machine row
Underhand Pulldown
Cable rear delt

Hammer curl
Barbell curl

Good start, enjoyed the session. Legs tomorrow ????????????????????????????????

[Rich Ellis]

Hope your training is going well mate, when we gonna get some training footage on the site?

What injuries did you suffer to make you have to reire from powerlifting?

Cheers all the best

Hi mate,

Thank you, in as good a place as I can remember, just finished this last block and today started a new one (more about that in a sec)

As for footage, I have plans to train with Jord, Kuba and Haider, not got dates firmed up yet, but I’m in a place to get after it now.

I had a lot of shoulder issues, two surgeries on my right shoulder…. tears to the labrum, arthritis at AC joint (bone shaved), sub acromial decompression (shave bone spur off), bicep tendon tidy up, cartilage tidy up.

Resulted in me being unable to press
