Friday rest day for me.

The week has flown by, but it’s been busy days so I’m looking forward to a bit of extra sleep over the weekend

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

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

I’d look to differentiate your rep ranges on your two sets and see if that helps.

Obviously I’m assuming all of your recovery parameters are in place, as that should be a given!

Best pull session I’ve had since the bicep rupture

Really managed to start putting that aside and applying effort to the movements

Just about to get my last meal (salmon, eggs, rice) and then sleep time for me.

Resting tomorrow and then into it over the weekend

Hi mate

Please upload the video to YouTube and share the link for us to look at

Push session this evening which went pretty well!

Had decent progress on every movement tonight, and importantly for me, body felt good along the way.

Just cooking my last meal and then it’s sleep time

Pull tomorrow

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate,

How was your progress going on Upper/Lower? What’s the driver for changing the split?

There’s not necessarily a right or wrong, but I don’t see sense in change when things are progressing, so without that context, it’s hard to have a sensible view.

Leg session tonight

Very decent session, tried some lifting shoes for the pressing which did seem to make a difference, but operating in high reps, paused in the hole, exaggerated concentric so lots to keep standardised whilst progressing

Push tomorrow. One meal left this evening. Then sleep time

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

I like this.

As Oscar says, now for putting it into action.

Consistent execution, patient progression, relentless adherence.

Let us know how you go mate

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day today – Mondays are always s long days that go quickly

Sorted my meal prep for tomorrow and have one feed left tonight ahead of sleep and legs tomorrow

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

Similar to the suggestion you’ve picked up there, I typically drop my intra meal for rest days and leave the rest the same.

[Rich Ellis]

Very good upper session today – very happy with all the movements

Session went like this

Calves
Cable lat pullover
Low pully upper back row
Neutral flat press
Incline press
Machine laterals
Shoulder press
SA triceps cable ext

Resting now tomorrow with one more meal left for tonight.

Back to legs on Tuesday

[Rich Ellis]

Hi Jack,

How long have you been struggling with the elbows, where has it stemmed from? Is all pressing work inhibited?

[Rich Ellis]

Started the day at 139.5kg so we will see where tht goes over the next 15wks

For me there’s a really visible loss of thickness. It’s probably not surprising with the damage to my bicep and the resultant lack of loading through my pulling work.

I feel like I’m in a position to counter that now, so we will see what can be done

Lower session today that gave me lots of confidence that I’ll be able to bring my legs up a chunk too.

About to get my last meal, then sleep

[Rich Ellis]

What Benners said and what exactly does not feel right ? Can you be more specific please 🙏🏿

I have trouble feeling the muscle afterwards, almost like I haven’t trained it even though my intensity is on the point (0 RIR)[/quote]
Is this a very different post session feeling than your other lower session?

If so – What’s the tangible difference between the two?

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day today and a very busy one. Just stopping now and about to cook my last meal

Big thank you to Jord and Corinne for the supplement drop – got me stocked up and ready to go

Lower session tomorrow which I’m looking forward to

Aim is to start growing some muscles now having had a steady period post bicep rupture

Let’s see!
