Hi Mattia,

Absolutely fine to split the session like that. Lots of people do it that way with good success.

You’ve got a good training history so will tell pretty quickly if it’s a good fit for you set up like that.

[Rich Ellis]

Push session tonight tht went well. Pec improving all of the time and will be ready to go very soon.

Resting tomorrow which will be very welcome, and then back in for quads on Sunday

About to have my steak meal and then a long sleep!

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

Definitely get yourself over to UltraFlex Rotherham and have a chat with the gang there!

[Rich Ellis]

Had a few issues with getting on the app again, so updating from yesterday evening’s session

Solid back and hams run out.

Feeling it a bit this week, but you’re not supposed to feel fresh as a daisy all the time!

Looking forward to catching up on some sleep over the weekend, it’s been a week!

[Rich Ellis]

Quads and adductors this evening.

More progress with the knees behaving, which is my biggest win at the moment.

Still training without sleeves or wraps which I’ll stretch out a while longer

Just sorted tomorrow’s food prep, and now about to dive into my pre-bed supps and final meal.

Back and hams tomorrow 🙌🏻

Hi mate

I think with PPL R UL R you can do well on one or in two rotations

For me it depends how frequently you like to have a movement to stay in touch with the execution.

My personal preference on that particular split would be one rotation , but this is wholly about preference.

[Rich Ellis]

Like Pierre, I do biceps on lower day when I’m doing upper/lower, but programme by priority mate

[Rich Ellis]

The app wasn’t letting me post yesterday, but had a really good push session in the evening.

First session I’ve not felt my pec since the little pull. I’ll continue to be sensible and patient, but won’t be long until I’m fully rolling on it.

Quads and adductors this evening, so hoping it stays a bit cooler!

[Rich Ellis]

And that’s rest day near enough done with.

One meal left in about an hour and then I’m sleeping.

Food prep is done for push day tomorrow, hoping my pec will allow a little more than last time out

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

If I’ve read this correctly, you have distinct movements for

Heavy upper / Light lower
Light upper / Heavy lower

If that’s the case, and you’re on an EOD frequency, I think you’ll be fine mate.

Just remain very patient with your progress, don’t try to rush the loading and you should be able to stretch this out a good while.

Once you’ve reached a point you need a shift, you can invert the movements.

[Rich Ellis]

Very good back and ham session today. Body felt really good, was a great atmosphere in the gym , and lifts moved nicely.

Barbell rows ended up being a bit more cardio than anything else 😐

Two meals to go this evening, then hopefully a better sleep than I managed last night

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate,

Absolutely second Bish’s view on the joint stack. I honestly can’t say enough good stuff about it!

Also see if there are movement variations that are less uncomfortable. Very often there is a movement path that creates discomfort where a like for like may not.

Please though, don’t be a hero and just push through, it likely won’t end well

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

Firstly, I’m with Pierre, at this stage, focus on everything with a high frequency, and U/L does that for you.

Secondly though, if you’re training hard, really hard, particularly with muscles being hit so frequently, 5 days on the bounce just isn’t a good idea.

[Rich Ellis]

Very good and very warm quad and adductor session today!

Making such consistent progress with my knees now which in turn is letting me keep moving the weights with a bit more confidence

A way off “strong” yet but getting to a place I can be working on that.

Productive work as well, so a good day.

Just about to make my last meal and then it’s time for sleep

[Rich Ellis]

Yep, fully agree with the gang, no getting away from the fact your erectors are going to work through an RDL mate.
