    Hi Theresa,

    This is largely down to how broad you want your working rep ranges to be.

    As others have noted, you might find some movements progress better if you mix the working rep ranges, some might benefit more from a consistent approach.

    As long as you are working on excellent movement execution and tempo whilst working to concentric failure, you’re in a good spot.

    Good pull session this evening, needed that after two pretty average sessions to start the week

    Had quite notable jumps in most of my lifts tonight, which is wholly down to confidence in my bicep.

    Resting now tomorrow and then on with legs on Saturday

    Just about to get my beef mince and rice meal and then sleep

    Hi mate

    Depends how developed you are and how adept you are at managing volume in my view.

    The very high frequency can be effective at bringing up bodyparts, but it takes careful monitoring and in reality, once you hit a certain level is quite hard to manage.

    As an aside, I don’t like torso/limbs, the tricep work almost always messes with the push work in “torso” upper/lower with biceps on lower is a better option for the vast majority mate.

    Push session tonight. Wasn’t that much better than legs yesterday in truth, body was not having a very nice time!

    With that said, everything got done unscathed.

    Just about to get my last meal, then it will be sleep time for me.

    See if everything feels a bit happier for pull tomorrow!

    Thanks for the help!
    Would a Husla leg ext pad make the movement a bit better?

    Hi mate

    If you have one that you use for extensions, give it a go, otherwise, you’ve got a couple of options to try that Meg and Hilly have respectively suggested.

    Bang average leg session tonight.

    Knees were not happy. Absolutely no idea why, but managed to get done what I set out to do.

    Different gym on Saturday for my next leg session, hopefully somewhat kinder on the aged joints!

    About to have my last meal, then sleep

    Push tomorrow which must be better.

    Hi mate

    I split mine AM and PM, but having yours with M1 is fine if that’s your preference

    Hi mate

    It’s definitely a minefield out there, but you can be sure that any of the TBJP athletes are high credibility individuals, so then it’s a case of who best suits you.

    Spend some time doing your research and connecting with those that seem the best fit.

    Upper today, good session

    Managing all of my movements without discomfort, and with ever growing confidence, but still with a healthy dose of prudence

    Rest day tomorrow and then legs on Tuesday

    Sorted meal prep for tomorrow, two meals left for today

    Totally agree with Bish – as far from training as is possible, so on wake of you train in the evening, or pre bed if you train in the morning

    Legs today. Most of it was pretty good but I’m going to have to go with the change of gyms for my weekend lower session

    I’ve been very patient, I’ve tried many treatments, and unfortunately any loading at all on the press variations just isn’t happening with my knees.

    The trip to UF earlier this week confirmed that there are pieces which will allow loading, so I’ll need to make that change.

    Just going to sort my last meal, then I’ll sleep ready for upper tomorrow

    I’m not sure that’s the case mate, plenty do directly train glutes through an abductor movement.

    Rest day today.

    Sadly my blood let didn’t go to plan, not a full let taken, unsure why, but this is a few times now

    Legs tomorrow, toying with venturing to another gym for legs. There’s one not too far away that looks like it might hit the mark

    Beef mince and rice meal about to go in, then sleep. Very tired this evening so it will be very welcome!
