Tricep rope extension
Cable JM press
Cable chest press
Pec fly
Machine chest press
Machine seated shoulder press
Seated machine lateralsPull this evening, then a rest day tomorrow

Hi mate
Sorry, late to the party.
Hilly gave a really nice summary.
I tend to use oats at breakfast, basmati rice through the day, then CoR post workout.
See how it sits for you, you should digest it super quickly and easily so will fill a need around that.

Very nice upper session today
Split things up with the lower and upper sessions focussing a little more on cluster sets, with the weekday PPL focussing on loading (still through a sensible rep scheme)
Just sorting meals for tomorrow, then one meal left tonight and sleep ahead of rest day.

Hi mate
Assume you have a chunk more load on this than an RDL.
Aside from the bit the gang have covered around your form, what’s the purpose of the movement?

Mega leg session this afternoon
Knees really playing ball now and I’m able to get a much better feel out of pretty much all the movements
One meal left tonight, then sleep time
I’ve bought myself an anti snoring mouthpiece that’s arrived today so we’ll see how that plays out
Upper tomorrow

MemberSeptember 19, 2026 at 7:46 pm in reply to: Upper/Lower – 5 exercises per session, 2 rotationsHi mate
Run one until you can’t get any more out of it, then run the other
As simple as that

Wicked upper session today, very happy with how things are progressing
Resting tomorrow and then back in for legs on Tuesday
Prepped my meals and just waiting for my last one tonight before bed
Another very busy week on the cards. Time to get it.

In your position it depends if you’re actually going to be able to just go into robot mode and follow their advice
Obviously questions are always acceptable, but if you’re just going to go “nope, don’t like the sound of that” there’s not much point.

My recommendation is that you follow the template as it is written.
You can pick which variation suits you best, but follow the plan the way it is written for a block, at that point you will be informed as to what has worked well for you and what needs tweaking

Goooood leg session this afternoon. My knees seem to be getting better session by session which in turn lets me work harder
Just about to sort my meals for tomorrow and last meal tonight and then it’s sleep time for me – upper tomorrow
-
I’m with the gang here mate. Don’t let this be a barrier at all.
Help us understand your goals and we can give some thoughts and views

Calves and arms tonight which was fun. I’d like to grow both, so I’m training them deliberately – it seems a wise choice. Let’s see if it works 🙄😂
Just having my last meal and then sleep. Leg day tomorrow
-
Agree with Haider here mate – really easy to see if it is them!

Really good upper session this afternoon
Made very good progress with my pulling movements, it’s definitely mental with my bicep now and I’m getting better at being rational
Slightly rearranged week due to a work commitment on Wednesday evening so I’m training tomorrow
Just about to get my last meal in and then time for sleep

Hi mate
I agree with James’ point on complementary programming, making sure your sessions are well thought out as a whole as well as for individual need.
With regard to the order, I actually would prioritise legs in the order, but you’ll need to see if you get a detrimental knock on to your upper sessions mate.
