    Good upper session this afternoon having rested yesterday

    Not my favourite split but need to give this elbow some time as it’s really not doing what I hoped it would

    Lower tomorrow, but two meals and a good sleep first!

    Hi mate, very much agree with Oscar and Haider, you’ve done a really good job putting this together.

    Please please resist falling into 4 consecutive days.

    Get everything out of each session and then really value that rest day.

    When you’re training hard with a high frequency, those rest days are essential to get the most out of your progress

    Keep us posted.

    Thanks guys! I see that I was wondering way to far from my actual goal of putting on muscle 😅

    I tend to be stuck on scale weight a lot!

    “Stuck” as in it doesn’t move, or as in it’s a fixation?

    Legs 2 done.

    Absolutely monumental cock up with tge exercise order, won’t be doing that again!

    That said, really happy with the movements and the session volume with the high frequency

    Just sorted meal prep, rest day tomorrow then a weekend getting into it

    One meal, then sleep

    Agree with Jord and Meg here mate.

    Have a go with the movement, try the set up, then make a decision if it’s an option you want to stick with and progress.

    Personally I enjoy these, as Meg says, more as a compound than attempting to use it to isolate the lat, but I think if you get your set up right you can get really consistent control of the line of pull – good alternative to a DB row if you’ve reached the end of a stint with them.

    Really good upper session this evening. Happy with the volume and exercise selection for this first rotation.

    Legs again tomorrow, but the second session variation.

    Just about to cook my last meal and then it’s sleep

  • Also don’t discount cream of rice. Personally I find it incredibly light and easy to consume and digest.

    My elbow issues have forced a move back to upper lower, so started off this evening with a really good lower session

    About to sort food prep and then last meal before tomorrow’s upper day.

    Hi Juan,

    As Clare has asked, what equipment do you have available?

    Have you had a go at building some sessions yourself? If you have, it would be good to see what your thinking is?

    Can I just add to Clare’s suggestions and suggest a number of really high impact supplements that have made a massive difference to me

    Push session this afternoon

    Real mixed bag, disappointed not to be pressing yet, but pleased to have some progress on the tricep isolation work

    Resting tomorrow and then back in for legs on Tuesday.

    Definitely making ground with this chest infection, pretty sure this time next week and it won’t even be a thing.

    Hi mate

    It’s not silly, there’s a number of us that have run PPL R UL R with really good results

    You’ve shifted the rest day slightly, that’s one of the bits you will have a look at playing around with, but the principle is, for sure, sound mate – let us know how you get on.

    Very good pull session this afternoon

    Not fully kicked this chest infection but it didn’t get in the way of anything

    Two meals left this evening and an early night to get plenty of sleep

    Push session tomorrow and then it’s a very busy week ahead so need to get switched on

    Hoping elbows play ball tomorrow…. Let’s see!
