    “Well known” is a hard one to define, but there are so many content creators now, across so many different categories, you’ve got a lot to choose from.

    Like Kam, if you can help us narrow it down a bit we can share personal favourites.

    Wicked session over at UF Derby today.

    Always very good to see Bish. Not only a true freak of strength sports, but highly knowledgeable, and just a very very good guy with it.

    He did some HEAVY pulls 6 weeks out from world DL champs.

    I had a leg session, which is always good there because of the quality of the kit. There was a very good “gym citizen” who was just a cool guy stepping in to spot.

    We then went for a feed so a good day all round

    Last meal about to go in, then sleep, upper tomorrow

    Hi mate,

    I’d review the full body split set up video, then map as closely as you can the movements you have available to you.

    If you run into issues, pull it back for some trouble shooting with us

    Rest day today and another very full on day at work

    Looking forward to a gym road trip with Bish tomorrow and then upper on Sunday.

    Got my bloods done today so we’ll see how they come back

    Just getting my last meal, then sleep time for me

    Agree with Kuba on number of training days. The split depends how you like to manage your frequency and volume.

    I actually like the same split as Joe , I find it a really good balance of the two

    Another really good session over at the new gym. Upper tonight.

    Loving the range of kit and what fee like “safe” movements. It’s definitely the first and most important thing for me at the moment.

    Nice atmosphere in there. Completely distraction free. Just head down and start getting back to it.

    Just cooked up 1250g mince, 750 lean beef, 500 lean chicken

    About to have my last meal, then it’s sleep time

    Rest day tomorrow, then into lower/upper over the weekend

    I’m wholly with Meg here mate.

    You don’t need a “special” set up, keep things consistent and as you would at any other time, consider programming changes based off performance changes.

    It’s been a really good set of sessions lately.

    I took the plunge and jumped gyms and it’s been such an excellent decision. The wider variety of kit is really benefitting my beaten up body.

    I had legs tonight and had a brilliant connection with all of my movements.

    Just getting my last meal. Then it’s bed time. Upper to look forward to tomorrow

    Hi mate

    My view is that both of these can work if you have the movement options available to you.

    If you’re running a very high frequency split like full body or upper/lower, I’d lean towards having more than one variation, as you move to PPL I see the rationale balancing a little more

    That’s my push session done for tonight

    Tomorrow I’m going to a different gym for my pull session. I’ve been looking to go for a while but it’s not happened so I’m forcing it tomorrow

    Just sorted food for tomorrow and now having my salmon meal before bed.

    Another busy day tomorrow, but it makes the days fly by

    Also agree with James mate, if you lead with pull it gives you an extra day before legs so if required gives you chance to top up biceps on leg day

    I’d urge you not to do PPLPPL, it will just mean you need to drop the volume in the sessions.

    I’d rather you go PPL R UL R and heavily bias the Upper session to the areas you want to focus on.

    Good weekend of training for me

    Legs was really good yesterday – very very warm, but one of the best I’ve had in a long long time

    Upper was very good today as well. It was warm, but my body behaved so I was happy

    Into a rest day tomorrow, just getting my last meal sorted and be’s time

    It’s a much much cooler evening which is very welcome , hoping it sticks around like this!

    Very much with Joe and Kam mate. There’s an argument for a lot of people that two is preferable to three, so don’t see it as less than ideal!
