On all honesty mate, this is as simple as adjusting volume.
It isn’t complicated. It doesn’t need to be.
Some muscle groups handle more volume on a high frequency, others don’t.
I would urge you not to map yourself against Jordan directly, but more take the principles.
If what you’ve been doing on FB or UL has not given you issues with recovery, and you’ve been able to progress, don’t look for a problem.
The biggest red flag I see there is “I have messed with all splits for 1 year”
Pick something and stop messing with it. Get it set up, and accept that’s what you’re doing, for a year.

Rest day today, and the first day of the heat wave. Not ideal, I’m not good with the heat at the best of times, but working in it all day is not the one.
It’s going to get considerably worse now for the next few days so its going to be pretty uncomfortable at work, and it’s going to be a bit much in the gym.
Portable air con unit tobthe rescue for bedtime
Just getting my last meal, then sleep

Hi mate
I agree with Hilly, if you’ve got a good connection with the movements and you can recover, we’re good
What volume have you currently been doing?
-
Hi mate
How was this? Has it started well?
You should get a decent grasp of how the volume is working for you.
Along with Hilly’s suggestion of moving biceps to lower, I’d like to see a leg press variation in lower A.

Really good weekend of training. Very much enjoyed upper today.
It was very warm, and this coming week is going to be super hot, so there’s going to be some pretty uncomfortable sessions
Got a load of meal prep done today so I’m sorted for the first half of the week
Rest day tomorrow, but another big week at work coming up.

Gooooood legs today
SL kneeling curl
Prone curl
Hip thrust
Extension
Pin selection leg press
Squat press leg press
Machine preacher bicep curl
Everything felt great today, really happy with my session even though I’d been on my feet all morning with work
Just about to cook my steak, then bedtime. Upper tomorrow

Hi mate,
I’d agree with Alison and Kerry that leaving it isn’t really an option. If it’s recurring after a period of improvement, I’d urge you to invest the time and money into getting an understanding of what’s happening.
At that point you know how to resolve it, and if you can resolve it, you’re sorted.

Long week! Big mix ups at work have created a lot to do, but it’s good being busy and getting things done
Fridays are rest days for me, so on all honesty, I got home, did my jobs, sat on the sofa and passed out asleep
I’m now cross I’ve got to move and make my last meal before bed time
Work in the morning, then legs in the afternoon

Hi Ollie
I agree with Meg, you’re more likey to find something that you can do without discomfort on a machine, where you have a stable movement path and you can set yourself up to manipulate away from the pain
Have you managed to find anything that works yet?
Also very much in agreement that given the length of time you’ve been struggling with this, it probably needs some attention from a really good sports therapist.
Please let us know how you get on on both fronts

Ok pull session tonight. It was super hot and super humid in the gym which made it pretty uncomfortable. My top also didn’t fit properly which was sad
Resting tomorrow then into my weekend sessions
I’ve just sorted my meals for tomorrow, now having my pre bed feed and then it’s sleep time.

Hi mate,
The severity of the hematoma and your proactivity in treating it will determine how long it lasts
Some really good advice here mate, push the boundaries a smidge when you can, you’ll know where the limit is.
-
Push day. Gooood one tonight
Everything up on last session, body behaving nicely, I’m very happy with that one.
Just cooked my last meal so about to have that and then it’s sleep time
Pull session tomorrow to box off the weekday sessions.
-
Agree with Kam mate.
I’d swap your loading sessions to Tuesday and Thursday, RDL on the Thursday, away you go.

Good leg session this evening. As good as it’s been in this gym.
My knees are starting to feel better and better session on session. I think I’ve got a good balance between volume and frequency.
Absolutely loving the new DNFM flavours, I’m on Sherbert Razz at the moment. Highly recommend!
Just cooking my beef mince and then sleep
Push tomorrow, trying a new gym, I need to have access to some good kit for my chest work.

I’m a big fan of PPL UL mate. Good balance of targeted volume and frequency.
As Kuba said, a lot of this will be down to how you programme your priorities, but this set up should allow you to bring these areas up.
