Ok pull session tonight, definitely a couple of steps forwards on the movements but it’s not exciting me.

Super long day so fodnt manage to get we tobthe new gym, which does make me wonder how well that will work when thing spill over

One for next week

I don’t want to moan, but I’m going to, the heat is not fun, even though I’m not super heavy, I’m still not light and it’s a pain,

Hoping it starts to settle after tomorrow, thank goodness was for the air con unit at bed time

Just finahed food prep and now getting my last meal before sleep!

Rest tomorrow and then lower upper over the weekend

[Rich Ellis]

The temperature would definitely play a role for me mate. Having a cool bedroom makes a massive difference

With that said, I do like how Kuba has simplified it, being too caught up on duration can be creating an issue that doesn’t need to be one.

Decent push session tonight but WOW was it warm in there. Tomorrow will be worse for my pull session, but then it starts to cool a little over the weekend

I’ve got back and done my meal prep and am now getting my last feed before sleep time

[Rich Ellis]

This isn’t something I’ve done, but o do know that the people I’ve spoken to who have done this with most success have followed the principles Allison has outlined

Fasted and full, consistent and progressive.

Unorthodox couple of days at work, long and interesting, but not something I want to repeat soon!

It’s warm again, but very good leg session this evening

Just putting my meals together for tomorrow babe, then it’s final meal and sleep time

Might try the other gym for push tomorrow as I’m going to need to make a decision soon So need to assess the week day commute.

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with the guys, if it’s working it’s working, but it’s highly unlikely it will be sustainable as you get stronger and deeper into the rotations

Provided you’re prepared to be reactive and make a change at that point, keep experimenting.

Hmmmm

“We should” or “he does”?

There’s definitely something sensible about balancing volume under high frequency, and if you observe that some muscle groups recover more or less quickly, then adjusting volume is sensible. When/if you’re truly in a position where a bunch of bodyparts can’t hang with full body anymore, I think it’s just wise to switch to a different split.

Appreciate you’re not saying you’re going to mimic what he does, so by all means have a good look and interrogate.

All his training is on his log.

Very good lower session today

Everything was on the high side of reps. Literally nothing under 15, but most on the 20 side.

I’ll crank the load over the next few sessions until it’s closer to 10-12 and then circle back to the higher reps and start the next wave

[Rich Ellis]

Update time:

Hey guys, thanks for all your feedback.

I train quad focused on tuesday and hamstring focused on saturday now, like you recommend.

I still hacksquat every saturday, without any kind of pain or soreness!!

Also my legs are getting a new kind of stimulus it feels like, it’s also visible.

Thanks guys!

Brilliant news mate. Now just to get at it for 6 months!

Let us know how it goes

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day today. Very long day to top off a long week, but I’ve just woken up on the sofa – never ideal, but definitely needed

Lots of work needed to do over the weekend, but will be having a rare treat and watching the AB v Fra tomorrow morning.

Lower tomorrow and upper Sunday.

I just need to get next week out the way and I can crack on with everything

Just getting my last meal, then sleep time

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

Thts a very long session set up, similar to others. It’s worth reviewing!

I’m with Kuba, Clare and Marc here mate. Single dose between your pre and post makes most sense to me.

Pull session tonight. Didn’t get me massively excited for whatever reason. I’ve tried really hard to stay engaged since the bicep rupture but I guess the honest assessment is, some days it’s just not motivating not to be able to move the weights I could

I’ll get over it, one meal now before sleep and then a rest day tomorrow

[Rich Ellis]

Hi Nick, glad the procedure has gone smoothly and hope the pain subsides quickly

Wholly agree with Sas, I’d like to see a slight surplus when recovery demand is elevated from surgery

[Rich Ellis]

Good push session this evening , gym was super quiet, presumably because of the football.

Everything felt nice tonight, and when my body feels good I’m happy.

Pull session tomorrow which is the one that’s still needing to lose some inhibitions.

Just about to get my last meal, then sleep time.

Have you got what you need from this Connor?

What’s changed and what are your observations?
