    Hi mate. In agreement with Oscar here, looks well put together, now to spend some time finding out how you can progress.

    Come back in a few months with an update 💪🏻

    Good leg session today. Put some short knee wraps on for leg press, and they also allowed me to do some light belt squat, so think I’ll persist there

    Really enjoyed getting a squat variation back in, so hoping I can hold it together

    I genuinely do need to get these ostinil injections sorted , running out of time to stop messing around

    One meal left tonight and an upper session to look forward to tomorrow

    Hi mate

    There’s going to be an amount of individuality here in how you feel, but for me that would be 90-120mins – remember you’re getting another MPS spike part way through the session.

    If finance allows, I’d consider switching you EAA for MPS Max, if it doesn’t, no stress 💪🏻

    Rest day today, just back from work and food in, two meals to go

    Lower session tomorrow, hoping my knees are in a better spot!

    Hi Gavin,

    Don’t see it as something you have to do, but it is typically a very good approach for maintaining progression and getting strong over a breadth of rep ranges.

    Some people also find the sets easier to go at from a psychological perspective when you have two separate rep ranges.

    Pull day today.

    Good session, everything moved well, good pace to the session as well.

    Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow and then a good weekend of training.

    Food prep sorted, about to cook my last meal and then it’s sleep time

    I think in addition to Jordan’s point, is it going to change your decision anyway?

    If not, just do what you plan to do, but as Jord has said, work very hard, programme to your needs, have your diet in a good spot, recover well.

    Hi mate

    You’ve got plenty of opportunity here to make like for like switches.

    As Louis says, you can switch your high incline barbell for a high incline dumbbell, or you can switch the angle of press.

    Pull down can become a pull up or a different handle attachment

    Behind neck press can become a standard shoulder press – barbell or dumbbell.

    Yates row to Pendlay row.

    Then tricep and bicep are obviously very easy to interchange variations.

    Lots of options mate

    Leeggggssssss

    Knees were divs tonight, so very heavily focussed the session on hams.

    Not happy, I thought I was passed all of that but nothing to be gained from being a hero.

    One meal to go and then sleep – push next up

    Hi mate

    Typically pull before push will see a bigger detriment than the other way round, but genuinely, don’t let it stop you giving it a run.

    You might find no issue mate, and if that helps you with other areas of programming, good news.

    Hi mate

    We can’t see your physique pics

    If you’re progressing well on full body, I don’t think you need to move away from it, but you may consider the exercise order based on priority

    If progress has stalled, legitimately so, and recovery is very challenging, it might be time to shift.

    On an aside – Definitely start taking creatine!

    Rest day today. Just sat down after food prep and a long day at work

    One meal left and then sleep. Legs tomorrow which I’m looking forward to, although my knees have been feeling a bit off today so hoping they’re well settled to crank it some more.

    Pull day today.

    Session went well. Everything has progressed again, I still have a lot of catching up to do on some of the freeweight movements I used to be very strong on, but I’m up and after it

    Meals prepped for tomorrow’s rest day, then legs on Tuesday

    Two meals left this evening and then an early night before it’s right back to it

    Throw some pics up Fred, let’s see if your lower is ahead of your upper.

    Push session today, elbow definitely improving

    Dorect Tri work was able to be loaded a bit more, with almost no discomfort

    Pressing volume increased, load also increased, but taking this very slowly, and resultantly very light high rep sets….. for now

    Eating and resting this evening, another nutty week, very enjoyable, but takes its toll

    Pull tomorrow
