Hi mate

I think you’re referring to having different working set ranges for the two session.

In which case, if you are genuinely well balanced as you have said, I think it makes sense to lead each session with the low rep
Range work.

With that said, if you see a real knock on performance from leading with the heavy work, and it’s not something you can reasonably condition for, then think about switching it up.

Rest day today, and I’ve just woken up on the sofa.

Got to cook my steak and then it’s bedtime.

Good weekend of training ahead, lower tomorrow 🙌🏻

Hi Conor,

The options you’ve suggested are sensible, as is changing the exercise order, as is getting some microloading plates to edge through the plateau

For me, 5 sessions without progression is probably too many to do the latter, but they will be worth purchasing to elongate progress in the future.

I personally would either swap the movement out or move it in the order and reset the reps to start at the top of a rep range.

[Rich Ellis]

Pull session this evening and everything on the up. It’s been a really good week of training on the whole – rest day tomorrow and then lower/upper over the weekend

Sorted food for tomorrow, about to get tonight’s last meal in , then sleep.

Hi mate

My view is that you use warm up/acclimation sets where you need to.

If not doing them leads to a less productive work set, you should have used them.

It will vary from movement to movement and person to person, but there will very likely be exercises you benefit from these before getting into the work sets.

Push session this evening , really happy with the isolated tricep work, elbow feeling much much better. Isolation pec and medial delt work all in a good spot too, just the pressing tht I’m being super patient with so is a mile off where it needs to be.

Food prep all sorted for tomorrow, one meal left for tonight and then sleep

Pull session on the cards tomorrow, looking forward to getting stuck into that, then a rest day on Friday

Hi Capo,

The answer is don’t be in a rush to change something that’s working well.

Whilst you are progressing very well on 1 set per movement, make the most of that, it’s a great place to be.

As you start to stall, it might be because the stimulus is no longer enough, and you need an additional set on a few (not all) of the movements (it might also be that you just need an exercise rotation, or a de-load), but I can’t see a scenario where you will reasonably get to 3 work sets on movements on a full body EoD, much more likely that you would then be best placed to move to Upper/Lower, but please try to resist seeing one as “better” than another.

All we really want from this is progress – in performance and resultantly in physique development. Really get stuck into the method that’s giving you that process, don’t be on the hunt for what’s next until you’re forced to.

Leggggssssss

Really enjoyed today’s session. Really simplified the sessions now and managing to creep up the load session on session, knees are bearable, just about hanging in there.

One meal left, then bed.

Push session on the cards tomorrow

Hi Capo,

What makes you think you will need to add extra sets?

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate,

What rep range would you be working in without the gympin?

It might still be worth having some direct adductor work along with the suggested leg press adductor biased stance Meg has mentioned.

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day just about done. One meal left and then it’s sleep.

Leg day tomorrow and hoping for another good one

Early night first to get recharged!

[Rich Ellis]

Hi Max,

I agree too – understand how the additional rest day impacts your recovery before predicting any change.

First task is to get that sorted.

[Rich Ellis]

Upper session this afternoon and continuing to see progress with my elbow which I’m pleased about

Good session logged, good weekend of training completed, couple of meals to go and an early night.

Rest day tomorrow , then back into legs on Tuesday 😍

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with Jordan mate, you’re going from a higher single dose of work to lower, more frequent doses.

The whole idea is that you’re recovered enough to perform at the next session – so to Jord’s point, the performance of your lifts is a key indicator to progress.

[Rich Ellis]

Lower today and everything ran very nicely.

Managed to do a free squat variation, granted very light, but something to progress session to session

One meal left in about 40mins, then it’s time to sleep

Upper tomorrow 🙌🏻
