Hi mate
Same as Kuba and James here. 2 on, 1 off, repeat.

Pull session tonight where I had another good ramp up in load
It’s been a good few training weeks now, I’m happy with how it’s trending
I’ve sorted tomorrow’s rest day food, just cooking my meal for tonight and then it’s sleep time for me

Hi mate
Same as Meg here, I use MPS Max and do count it , but as the gang have said, the important point is consistency of either tracking or not.

Very good push session tonight, shoulders feeling better and better. Bicep feeling less and less risk. All allowing me to work harder and progress.
Just sorted food prep, one meal left tonight.
Sleep then pull tomorrow

Hi mate, agree with Oscar, you’ve done a good job with this
I would personally lead one of my upper sessions with pull work if you have a balanced need for growth – just my view.
Makes sense. I’ll switch upper B to pull first and push second. Thanks![/quote]
Happy to help mate, let us know how you get onGet after it mate!

Where are you with this mate? Any progress?

Good leg session this evening
Tried out the 45deg leg press with a number of different set ups and have settled on one that can work well going forward I think
Looking forward to progressing that along with the hip press as my compounds. Still feel a way off any of the squat variations working, but think a few more weeks I might get that working with soft wraps
Just putting my salmon in and then sleep.
Push tomorrow evening 🙌🏻

Mondays are rest days. It ended up being a long one at work today
I’ve not long sat down aftwr food prep, that backfired though as I pretty quickly fell asleep
Going to go and make my last meal, then sleep time for me

Hi mate
Unless you’re very well developed, I’d have a shoulder press movement in
If that’s the case, shallow your incline press
If it’s not the case, have a steeper incline press.

Looks good mate. I’m not a fan of 3 presses in a full body. I’d sooner do 2 and rotate them but that’s just my preference. See how you get on with this and after a long run, let us know how you went on.
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, i guess i just need to test how it goes and if it feels too much then make some changes.

How have you settled into this Samu? Which variation did you go with in the end? -
Another good upper session today. More psychological wins with my pulling and pushing work
Sorted my food prep for tomorrow. Mondays are rest days so I’ll make the most of that before legs again on Tuesday.
Very busy couple of weeks ahead, but then a nice break for Easter so that will recharge everything

Got in the gym earlier than normal today to avoid the busy meet up for Reece’s gang. As I’m sure it would have been an awesome atmosphere, I just wanted to get my movements done in sequence
Good leg session today, up on everything, staying super patient with the compounds and really holding the higher rep sets
I’m going to try a new set up on the 45deg press, as I’m doing all my pressing on the hip press at the moment and it would be good to have a second option.
Just about to have my last meal, beef mince, avocado, rice, and greek yogurt (separate)
Longer sleep tonight, then upper tomorrow💪🏻

My personal preference is an A and B if both are being trained in the same week.
I do think too much variation can limit progress, but as Kuba has said, sing set ups are mentally taxing (some people get off on that!)
Also agree with James that the kit available to you might determine this for you. Actively choosing inferior movements isn’t sensible in my view, if you have the luxury of multiple like for like options, you can roll with that.

Rest day all wrapped up bar my final meal
It’s extremely taxing at work at the moment so sitting to watch something badly failed as I just fell asleep
Bodyweight check in the morning, then legs
