Hi mate,
Just so I’m understanding correctly, at the moment, every third week you have a double rest day, and when you get round to this double rest day, it feels like it’s needed, and then freshens you up for the next block?
Is your performance generally improving?
If yes, I don’t see the value in changing. You can’t expect to feel fresh when you’re training hard consistently.
Let your performance be a measure of whether something needs to change, not how you feel.

Pull session tonight, and one of my better ones in a while.
Pretty sad about my bicep now, not a fan of this training style, but do still come back to being grateful I can train at all.
Very long day with an early London visit, very pleased that’s done with!
Push tomorrow nigh, last meal going on and then bed for me

Hi mate,
Personal view is tht you can afford a little more volume on the lateral movements.
Other than that, get after it.

Monday is rest day for me.
Rubbish day tomorrow, back to London again (no offence to those who love it, but my idea of unsolicited hell)
Then back for a pull session in the evening
About to have my last meal, then time for sleep with an extra early start

He doesn’t, but there are lots of the gang that do a brilliant job of coaching, you’d do well teaming up with any of them mate

Really good leg session today, getting on really well with the new leg press stance I’ve picked up.
Also finished off with some light goodmornings, just to see if they will be workable. I’ve not been able to do a loaded hinge since the bicep rupture so this should solve that issue – I’ll see how it goes but think it’s worth trying
Rest day tomorrow and then back into PPL.
One meal left for tonight and then sleep time.

Hi mate,
There’s a couple of really good examples of taller guys that have done brilliantly, Josh Maley and Jamie Johal are bit 6’ 6” and managed to build A LOT of muscle over time, so stay patient.
When looking at your split choice, are there any body parts in particular that need attention, or is it a case of all round development?

Really enjoyed this afternoon’s upper session.
Only thing that hasn’t gone quite as planned was the incline press. I need to find a solution, it’s annoyed my shoulders two sessions in a row now.
Had a busy, but productive day in all, lots of jobs done which hopefully means tomorrow is a bit less “go”.
Last meal in the oven, then sleep. Not often I can have 9hrs, so determined to tonight!

Hi mate
Unsure which surgery you have had, but if it has involved any bone shaving, be wary of adding HGH too early, it’s quite common for bone spurs to grow and cause further issues which require surgical intervention.

Friday which means rest day for me.
Had a good pull / push / legs rotation Tuesday to Thursday and have upper to look for ward to tomorrow
Just about to get my last meal cooked and then I’m getting some sleep!
-
I personally like to use whey isolate post workout with an easily digestible carbohydrate
Then about 2hrs later I will have a whole food meal
-
Legs today to wrap up the first three days of the rotation, and I’ve been really happy with all the sessions
Resting tomorrow and then upper/lower over the weekend
One meal left for tonight, which I’m just about to have, then sleep time for me!

Hi Rion,
I don’t think I understand the question.
You want people to tell you what they do on their rest days?
Have you looked at your session volume? Your calorie intake? Your sleep? The progressions you’re looking to make?
-
Push session tonight. Largely good, shoulders feeling it, but weren’t inhibitive of anything progressing.
Legs tomorrow and then resting on Friday
Sorted supps and meal prep for tomorrow, one meal left tonight, then I’m
Sleeping -
Hi mate
Do be conscious of movements that are causing discomfort, and see if you have sensible substitutes that can be made.
If budget allows, I would consider adding JoinIn to your supplement list. Genuinely it’s been massive for my knees!
