    Agree with Clare on the bands and dumbbells, that’s a super flexible set of kit.

    Even a sissy squat station isn’t expensive or taking up much space

    That’s upper wrapped up, and a really good one tonight, very happy with getting over this psychological issue with the bicep and making some loading progress

    Just about to get my last meal, then sleep and ready for lower tomorrow 🙌🏻🙌🏻

    I’m with Clare here mate – the Health Stack was created for exactly this purpose

    Rest day done! Well, nearly, one meal to go and then it’s done

    Long day at work, but a very productive one in the bag

    Similarly long tomorrow, and then an upper session to finish off

  • No pictures there either Patrick….

    Really good lower session tonight

    I’m about 5wks into the ostinil plus and I was told it would take up to 6wks to really do its thing…. I don’t want to get overly excited, but it’s definitely helping

    I’m resting tomorrow and then back in with upper on Wednesday

    Just getting my last meal and then about to sleep

    Hi mate

    In that case, honestly, I’d just do upper lower with biceps on lower and triceps on upper

    Separating triceps from your pressing work just causes more issues when you’re on a high frequency split in my opinion.

    Nice trip to UF Rotherham today for bloods and then an upper session

    Always hits home the difference training on the top top kit, it just all felt very safe.

    Nice quick catch up with Meg and Kuba after, with some wise words re the bicep 🙌🏻

    Just on with making my last meal, the sleep, legs tomorrow

    Hi mate

    I like the PPL R UL R splits. This is obviously a variant

    The absolute volume will come down to what you can and can’t progress, you should have some gauge on that from the PPL split you’ve been running – enough to make a sensible start point.

    The split in principle is sound though.

    Rest day today to make sure bloods tomorrow are a good representation of where I’m actually at

    Making a trip over to UF Rotherham for the clinic and an upper session which I’m looking forward to

    New fridge freezer in today, and food shop done as well.

    About to get my last meal and then sleep time

    Hi mate

    What frequency do you plan to run?

    Hi Joey,

    I agree with the gang on hinges, once per week is a sensible start point

    In my view you can have a squat and press variation in each session provided you’re making informed decisions on volume

    Really good lower session tonight. I had gone as far as ruling out pendulum and hack. I’m not far off them being ok, but it’s an unnecessary risk at the moment

    Just waiting for my last meal, then looking forward to a longer sleep.

    Rest day tomorrow, bloods on Sunday, then upper.

    Upper session this evening, and much like last time out, a really good session with really good progression and “feel”.

    Things are progressing consistently, that’s what I want and need right now.

    Getting bloods done on Sunday, so lower again tomorrow and then resting Saturday to allow a cleaner set of results

    One meal to go and then sleep for me.

    Hi mate,

    Similar to Hilly, readying yourself to maximise your working sets is what we want from our warm ups.

    If you feel you can achieve that with lower rep warm up sets, then it’s a viable solution for you.
