I’m not as advanced as some of the other guys on here in this respect, but typically try to get somewhere in the order of 1:1.

Gooooood leg session tonight. Enjoying it being a good bit cooler, definitely a nicer place to be for the sessions
Knees behaved really nicely tonight, I’m working with my highest rep sets first and then loading for latter sets. Not optimal for strength in healthy jointed folks, but allows me to work harder so a sensible choice for me.
All over the place tomorrow which isn’t ideal, but meals are prepped and ready
Push in the evening 💪🏻

Monday rest day!
Had a really good day at work. Much cooler which was a delight!
Got my meal prep sorted, just need to cook my last meal for tonight and then sleep
Leg day tomorrow 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hi Dave
Have you seen any improvement? What did you implement and what have the results been?
-
Nice upper session today. Definitely enjoyed the cooler weather
Started to get a bit of load moving on the pressing now. I’ll be patient, as we go but keep it moving forward which is fun.
Got a good chunk of food prep done too so last thing for me today is to get my final meal, then sleep

Looks like you have a pln mate, and with a plan you’re on the road to recovery.
Keep us posted mate

Hi mate
Thanks for the update.
Sounds like you’ve programmed really well and you’re seeing the benefits.
Stay with it now mate. Keep at it.

Had a really good leg session today.
It was WARMMMMM, probably the hottest I can remember being, it was a bit messy but a brilliant session
Hoping today is the last of the really uncomfortable hot days, then life can get back to normal.
Upper tomorrow but first need to get my last meal and pre bed supps

Hi RT,
How did you get on with this? Have you found a home for them that’s working for you?
-
I’m sure everyone else has felt the same today, but that was brutal.
I actually don’t think I can remmeber a day tht was as uncomfortable as tht at work.
Now sat in the garden with a cool breeze and my last meal before sleep.
The air con unit is on and my room will be cool thank goodness
It’s on its way down tomorrow so hopefully can get back to some normal function. Legs to get it going tomorrow!
-
Hi mate, I’m jumping on with the same message.
Don’t fall into convincing yourself you shouldn’t train becaise you’d be better going to bed at 21:00. You’ll end up without a stimulus to recover from!
It’s great you’ve got an awareness, and that will stand you in good stead , but enjoy the training and eating and being as sensible as you can with sleep, but you have work and study and not everything is going to fit into a perfect shaped box.
Work really hard, be disciplined with your meals, get as much sleep as you can, you’ll be good.

That’s a wrap for the weekday sessions this week.
It’s been pretty grim in there with the heat, but the sessions have gone really well, so it’s a successful few days.
Resting tomorrow, food prep is done, and then I’m back in for legs on Saturday
Just about to get my last meal and then it’s sleep time for me
-
That’s nice mate.
As Hilly says, Jord is full on it.
Jord is always a very focussed person, but when he’s like this, it’s very cool to know what’s coming. Stay tuned!

Pretty good push session tonight
Brutally hot again in there and reset a few movements at a higher rep range so tht was grim.
Everything felt good though. Shoulder was behaving and bicep didn’t feel vulnerable. Still slowly slowly with the pressing, but it’s going
Just on with my beef mince meal now, then sleep time (thank you air con)
Pull tomorrow evening

Hi mate
You’ve done the right thing getting this MRI scanned asap.
They typically want to operate very quickly so the muscle can regain full motion.
Without wanting to be alarmist, if the muscle isn’t lengthening and shortening, it sounds like a full distal rupture.
Take a look through Corinne’s journal mate, she had the same injury and came back VERY quickly, so some advice to follow there!
Best of luck with it mate, not a fun one, but a routine fix if it’s caught early.
