Hey mate, just watched your back session with James and Louis, my question is, how does this type of training compare to what you’re currently doing, such as training twice a day etc with higher volume? Do you think you’d ever switch to this approach?
Myself & J have actually just gone back to training the way we did last off season which is 1 major body part a day and sometimes a minor. Will consist of 8-10 exercises with 4 heavy working sets to fail of 7-10 reps generally on each. (See leg day above for an example)
Find in off season we want to just get strong. -

Saturday aug 31st check in.
Decent week back in my routine and back to training fully again. Big leg session yesterday and legs are very sore today, could barely flex them for pics!
Anyway fasted weight this morning 248lbs. -
What’s your current training style like?
Today was my first session of a new split which is a Jordan split push/pull/legs style which I am going to try for next month or so as I enjoyed my sessions last week with James, Ryan & joe Ballinger and I feel this method will help me bring on my back
-
Back in Dubai and after training with @jhollingshead89gmail-com & @ryanpetford and some interesting discussions I’m going to give their style of training a push for the next few weeks. I will keep you all updated on how I find it

right
so today was a little different
we hit legs.
Louis has been a little under the weather and I’m honestly a little beat up on the lower half!
so we had what was essentially a reserved session.. held back from absolute failure nut still pished close too
opted to stay away from free weight work
movements today went a follows
kneeling curls
2 sets of 10-12
lying curls
2 sets of 15-20
V squat
2 sets of 12-15
single press
2 sets of 15-20
extension
1 set of rest pause but staying shy of failure by 2 reps per round
abductor
2 sets of 10
adductor
2 sets of 12-15seated calf raise
3 sets of 20
hopefully tomorrow we both feel 100%.. all you can do is rest up
.drink .. eat and chillpush tomorrow ????

Sorry for lack of update this week, still on the road- no food missed and some big sessions! Finished off the week today with a massive leg session with @ryanpetford down in primitive.
Weight has dropped a few lbs since being here now at 244lbs but a few days back in Dubai and I’ll get it back up.
Going to take the next 2 days to rest as I’m feeling very fatigued. -
I work full time as an online coach, this trip I was actually invited to be a guest speaker at an event for mental health. I have also tied it in with a few meetings etc that are work related

Hey everyone another check in another country! Back in the Uk for a week.
Weight was 249lbs day I flew here Thursday but has dropped back to 247 today just from all the moving around etc.
No changes to food. I am feeling very full come the end of the week now with the insulin.
Still managing a shoulder problem. -
Hey guys so back in Dubai a week now and back into the rhythm of training. Weight has gone as high as 248lbs this week but leveling out at 245/246.
Strength is going up, training intensity very good.
I am struggling a little bit with appetite in my final meals but getting them in. -
My month in Greece is finally coming to an end, my goal when I came here was to try and maintain at around 240lbs… food had to go up after week 1 here as I dropped to 236… iv gone to 242 and this morning I woke at 240lbs bang on after 4 days celebrating my 3 year anniversary with my wife in the hotel we got married in. All inclusive so I guesstimated my food & accounted for a few off plan meals.. if anything I probably under ate a tad. We still trained and did cardio.
In my mind tomorrow when I land back in Dubai prep starts for Pittsburgh & New York next year, no distractions just work. We are aiming to push to 260lbs in this condition. -
Whats the thought process with the insulin at the first meal?
To. E honest it’s more about splitting it up- meal 1 is always a high carb meal for me so use it then and then pre workout.
Not a fan of pre & post because usually later on in the evening I feel hypo
