Raul,

What do you mean you didn’t like having RDL on leg day?

[Rich Ellis]

Another leg session progressed today, very pleased with how these sessions are going at the moment

Not “strong” by the standards I expect yet, and still working in higher rep ranges, but erring on the side of prudence and employing some patience is allowing me to progress week on week, which is something that has eluded me for quite some time

Lots of food prep done, just had my penultimate meal. Couple more bits to do and that’s all my jobs done for the day, then a little downtime before a very busy week ahead of the Christmas break

[Rich Ellis]

I would put it in just one of those sessions mate on that rotation.

Another modified push session to accommodate my elbows being divs.

Definitely well on the mend, so I’ll expect some pressing back in the next few weeks, just balancing prudence with enthusiasm!

Definitely made the best of what I was working with today, and no hint of “this isn’t a ‘proper’ session so I might as well coast”

Couple of feeds left this evening and then legs tomorrow which I’m ever so enjoying at the moment 🙌🏻

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate

What’s your programme set up?

As you get strong, it’s probably a big ask, but let’s take a look at your split to assess options.

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day today 🙌🏻

Push tomorrow as part of a very busy Saturday , then Sunday leg day 😍

One meal left tonight and an earlier night so I can catch up on some sleep.

[Rich Ellis]

Sorry Daniel, I misunderstood

In that case – I’m fully with Oscar mate. Pick one hinge on day one, then see where that takes you, how other movements are impacted, and importantly, how it progresses.

[Rich Ellis]

Excellent pull session this evening, very happy with how it went, and with the movement selections.

Just finished food prep and getting my last meal for tonight sorted, then it’s sleep

Resting tomorrow, busy Saturday but training to look forward on both days 🙌🏻

[Rich Ellis]

Hi Daniel,

If you’ve got SLDL in your lower days, do you feel you need an additional high load hinge within the week?

If you want a second hinge movement, I would probably start with something less likely to disrupt the whole system. Maybe a hyperextension, biased towards hams and glutes if that’s the priority of the movement for you.

That will give you a good sense of how the movement fits and what it might or might not impact in your wider programme.

[Rich Ellis]

This is one of my favourite splits as well. Really good set up!

[Rich Ellis]

Life got in the way today which meant no pull session – highly frustrating, but it’ll be there tomorrow

Just about to get on with food prep, then one more meal tonight and it’s sleep time

[Rich Ellis]

Hi mate, I don’t think it’s ever a very good idea to run full body sessions on consecutive days if hypertrophy is the key objective.

4 days a week will see upper/lower really shine.

Get your programming intelligently put together, stick with it consistently, work really hard, execute really well, get your nutrition and sleep lined up and you’ll fly.

[Rich Ellis]

Another very decent leg session this evening, moving this forward every session now

Knees really benefiting from all the TBJP joint supps – JoinIn, Collagen, OsteoPro, Omega Pharma Pro, CureComing

Just finished up food prep and have this evening’s last meal on

Pull session tomorrow 🙌🏻

[Rich Ellis]

Agree with Kuba and Clare here mate, don’t see the deload as a negative, it will almost certainly set you up for another block of progress across the board, whilst letting any small niggles settle.

As Kuba has said, it’s then a great opportunity to reset numbers, be really honest about your execution and anything that might need tightening up – now is the time.

[Rich Ellis]

Rest day today.

Long couple of weeks into the Christmas break, but looking forward to my sessions this week,

Just sorted meal prep, one feed left tonight and then an early night
