You’ll know of the movement suits you, then get after progressing it consistently, patiently, for months.

Hit with man flu (a common cold)
Suppose one of the perks of not training with the intensity I’m used to is that the sessions don’t suffer further when you’re feeling rubbish.
Still, push session completed, numbers progressed.
Back and sorted food for tomorrow, due to have legs so hoping I’m a bit better
One meal to go, then sleep

Hi mate
Typically triceps will be narrower with a more upright body position
As you widen your grip and shift the load forwards with a forward lean, you start to bring more chest into the movement.

With the gang here Luka, looks a sensible set up to me!

Rest day yesterday and starting the training week with pull this evening
I’m grateful to be able to train pull given the scale of the bicep injury, but this evening was probably the first time I’ve felt really fed up with not being able to lift the way I enjoy.
It’s a NET positive given where I could be, but it’s highly annoying.
Home and meals prepped, one meal to go and then it’s sleep time for me
Push tomorrow evening

Hi mate
Why don’t you do both?

Lower for me this afternoon, and very happy with where it was.
Only thing I’m still missing at the moment from my leg training is a squat variation. I’m going to bring the sleeves back and see if that lets it happen. We’ll see.
Got my food prep done, one meal left in about 30mins and then sleep for me
Rest day tomorrow, very busy one though so expecting it to fly by.
Bumped food up again. Despite the increase in kcals, weight dropped agin. Need to turn this around!

Hi mate
I think it would be really beneficial to train with someone that does do that.
Not necessarily all the time, even if it’s paying to have someone do a session with you
Once you’ve experienced it, you know what you’re looking for rather than trying to visualise something you’ve never seen.

Very happy with today’s upper session. Everything feels good at the moment with the exception of the pull movements where I’m very aware of the risk to the injured side – I’m compensating by operating in higher reps with a pause and a peak contraction – not my preferred approach to training, but still creates a stimulus for me
Just getting my last meal, then sleep, lower tomorrow

Hi Huss
First check out the educational videos – that talks through the structure, and why.
Jord also has FB templates on his Instagram.

Hi Max
I’m leaning towards Meg on this.
Might be time for Upper/Lower
-
Today was a rest day.
It’s been a very busy week, I fell asleep on the sofa so now I’m behind on my schedule and late for bed.
Good weekend of training and not a huge amount else to look forward to
Upper tomorrow
-
How many sets per movement are you doing?
How long have you been running the split for?
-
Legs tonight and happy with the session.
New movements have gone well, so that’s both leg sessions where I want them now
Resting tomorrow and then upper/lower over the weekend
Sorted food prep, one meal left now before bed, then sleep time

Agree with Hilly mate, you’ll just need to have a play with the volume to see what’s reasonable for recovery/progress
