    I agree with Haider too, but I would also be getting it working as soon as possible

    Get some blood flowing into the the muscle, and get it working through a range as soon as pain allows you to do so, even with the very lightest loads.

    Push session today, but modified to allow a break for my elbows that have been flaring up over the past few sessions

    Got my food all prepped for tomorrow’s rest day, two meals left for this evening and an early night

    Absolute sod of a weekend with lots of laborious tasks needing doing, but they are at least done!

    Agree with Clare, it doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, the sequence matters.

    Lower today and then back on with the pattern.

    Really good pull session this afternoon

    I wasn’t sure if my elbows were going to play up today, but was really pleased to find that they didn’t get in the way of anything

    Had lots of jobs to do today, some of which are done, but a busy evening ahead

    Hoping for a quieter day tomorrow, big push session to get stuck into and manage these elbows!

    Agree with Oscar and Jord mate.

    There’s always a temptation to look for something “better”. When things are going to plan, don’t be so quick to want to change that, it’s just time to ride the wave and double down on what’s going well

    Very excellent leg session this evening! Ever so happy with how these are progressing

    Enjoying my selected (although limited) movements, and steadily progressing session on session without falling into the trap of trying to load too much too soon, it’s still the higher rep ranges on press and leg extension variations , but I’m happy with working hard.

    Another very busy weekend, but two sessions to look forward to so I’m happy

    Just polished off my post workout meal, few jobs to do when I’m back, then a little chill, a steak, and sleep

    Hi Stefano,

    Do you have a Smith machine? Can you use a smith squat as a sub for hack?

    Push session tonight, started very well, but did struggle with my elbow after the first pressing movement

    Really struggling to identify a pattern as to what makes a “good day” and what makes an “ouch day”

    Frustrating, but the general trend is positive

    Heading back now for food prep and one more meal, then sleep

    There’s not a right or wrong here mate, just recognise that although things are still moving nicely for you, it’s highly likely a single set of movements will stall more quickly than two rotations.

    You can of course though introduce the second set of movements once the first set stall.

    Why don’t you just have a second rotation?

    Are you also doing a lateral variation? And are you eating in a surplus?

    Very happy with this evening’s leg session.

    All compounds and all leaving my knees happy. Feels like a good run sharks provided I carry on being a bit sensible

    Heading home for food prep and last meal, then a rest day tomorrow before push on Thursday

    Hi Chuck,

    You’re recovering well, which is great. Are you also progressing your lifts consistently?

    Rest day today.

    Really enjoyed my sessions over the weekend, but pleased to be resting today.

    Meal and Supp prep is sorted for tomorrow, one meal left this evening and then an early night.

    Legs tomorrow, which I’m very excited for

    Hi mate

    I agree with Kuba in getting the water and creatine in as quickly as possible, I personally would go a little higher with the MPSmax and have 40g (or alternatively 50g clear whey)

    Keep the carb in your intra and your post as it is (again, might want to increase your protein amount)
