    Yep. Middle to get used to it, then you can start to understand the nuance.

    There is some benefit to varying the profile either around niggles, or loaded vs back off sets

    But really like you’re looking atvthis from a “just get strong” perspective first

    Excellent leg session to start the week off.

    Definitely feel like I’ve got a set of movements locked in now and good to go for many weeks

    Long day though which means I’m only just tackling food prep.

    It won’t be enough sleep, but sometimes life happens

    Big upper session tomorrow

    Wholly with Meg here mate, your feedback is telling you the volume is working well.

    A reduced total volume allows you more room to emphasise areas of priority, but try not to assume x = y, and certainly don’t if what you are doing is telling you that x = z

    Monday so that means a rest day, which meant chance for a longer day in the office

    Just about to get into my last mean and then sleep time

    Legs tomorrow!

    Yep, I used to eat a lot of bread, and sourdough always did best for me mate.

    Hope that works out well for you

    Really good calves and upper session today.

    Very happy with the way my body is holding up at the moment. The new diet is definitely getting things done, lots of changes coming.

    Just about to have my last meal and then sleep time

    Resting tomorrow, which I never like, but are much needed.

    Hi mate

    I’m with James. Resist the temptation to try and fancy things up mate. Body let priority in the programming, excellent movement execution, progress.

    Hi mate,

    I’ve had one for years, and honestly, it’s not inhibitive.

    I wouldn’t be worrying too much about what you’re doing leading up to the surgery if you’ve been training with it for a while.

    Post surgery, as Kam says, you should be asking your surgeon exactly what they want from you.

    Hi mate, I’m also with the upper / lower gang here.

    As Clare has directed you, jump on the educational videos for a philosophy explanation and set up guidance.

    Mega upper session today. Very happy!

    Just sorted meal prep for tomorrow as well, so just some final steps, then a cold shower, last meal, and a bit of chill.

    Another very busy week, but sessions to look forward to.

    Rest day tomorrow

    Hi mate. Try mixing the whey powder with the CoR before adding water.

    Then add hot water little by little until it’s the consistency you want

    I’m with the guys here mate. Without knowing the context of why you’ve programmed it the way you have, it’s difficult to comment.

    Get a measure of how you are progressing, recovering, connecting with the movements.

    Consider whether the set up represents the improvements you want to bias (if any)

    Let us know how you go
