I will be returning back to my normal split just very slowly easing back in for a week or so. If your old split was working return to that. If not it’s an ideal time to start something from the bottom up imo

Just another rest day for me guys. I’m taking the initial time to rest up. Forced rest sometimes is the best rest and I will take this time to improve my online business and educate myself in areas of bodybuilding that I’m not up to speed on. The goal here for me is self improvement and keeping stimulated.

Standard rest day today, not a lot to report only one job to do today was to get my phone switched over after having a plate dropped on it. Which took all day hence the late log entry as Iv only just managed to get it back on. Hope everyone hasn’t lost the plot just yet after day one of the gyms being closed.

Hey mate. If you can’t find a facility to train optimally I would drop to a cruise dose. Cruise for as long as needed and when normality returns and you can train properly then start your cycle again then.

I will be strictly be on my non training day diet as I won’t be training. If you do manage a home workout I would add a little extra food around the post workout meal but unless you manage an intense session I wouldn’t increase food here too drastically.

Pull day went well. Rdls moved nicely too but the session was soon dampened by the word of gyms closing. I’m not going to lie I’m fucking devastated. Being an old gym owner luckily I can still use that facility on my own as I’m on terms with the new owners so I’m able to train. But I’m devastated for the thousands of people who are unable to train and lets be honest training is more to us than just hitting numbers or building muscle.. it’s therapy, it’s OUR time . No matter your problems or issues, that time spent in the gym gives you a blank canvas a release and watching people’s faces and reactions as the news spread across the gym floor that people could no longer do what they love hit me hard and left a very somber mood. I’m trying my best to be positive as I always believe form adversity something new and better will prosper. Tonight will give us time to reflect and create a plan of action for ourselves in these testing times.

I also want to put out there if anybody is struggling mentally or with anything because of the gym closures feel free to DM me on insta or write on here. I’m by no means an expert but it’s good to talk and just the fact you are reading this means we are already like minded individuals.

I agree with kuba, however I would rather RDL on pull day. Have 2 rotations for each session. Lower load with the RDL on one rotation for pull and the next have no lower loading or implement a tbar row possibly.

If you are after more back work then possibly a density day in your set up would be favourable if recovery allows.

I’ve personally never used it however I know tonnes of bodybuilders that use it regularly. To relieve stress, unwind or sleep if it helps with this then it’s very beneficial in my eyes.

Hey guys. Push today over at Rotherham with kuba and Jamie. 5 weeks into cruise now and strength still climbing on most things. I’ve got carried away with a few grinder reps this week and it showed a little today, I just didn’t have that extra gas in the tank that I’ve had so these will be pulled for sure for the next month or so. I will get bloods done in the next week or so too and then we will make the decision when to go back on. Only if bloods come back ok this will happen if not I will take longer off and take any necessary measures needed. The next cycle will be a long one again if all the shows go ahead so things have to be perfect before we proceed.

Tonight’s session was

Prime lateral machine x 3
High incline smith x 2
Prime press x 2
Dip machine x 2
Pec dec x 3
Atlantis raise machine x 2
Cuffed lateral x 3
Prime rope push down x 3
Single arm tricep rope x 1

For me I much prefer the bar lower, say inline or just below the nipples. You can load the the bar and the triceps much more this way.

Rested up today and feeling very fresh tbh. my appetite has been through the roof too which is refreshing after constantly feeling like I’m going to pop for the past 6 months. I’m a little stressed today after all this talk of lock down or gyms closing, not to mention the fact there is no food in any stores. As bodybuilders we control every aspect of our lives to work towards our goals day in day out and in a situation like this that control i have could cease temporarily and be taken out of my hands. I will be the first to admit that I will massively struggle with any kind of restrictions that could be enforced. As of now I’m hoping it’s just hot air and we can still train and eat!

Looking great bud. I agree with Ryan here. Drop the test, increasing food gradually will be more than enough to yield a very good rebound from here.

So legs… Another good session for me. Since I’ve been running my volume low and the injuries were getting worse my legs were not popping or looking like mine and I felt they looked average for me. I decided to add a touch more volume from today. Only 2 sets but 2 sets balls out is a lot lol. I got a decent pump and a good feel however I’m not liking the Safety bar squat it just really doesn’t suit my squat style or mechanics so I will go back to smith squats from next rotation as I was still progressing on them.

Tonight’s session

Seated ham curl x 2
Safety bar squat x 1
Banded leg press x 2
prime leg ext x 2
Lying leg curl x 1
45 degree hyper x 1 rp
Adductor x 1
Calves x 3
SA tricep machine x 2
SA bicep cable curl x 2

Extra arm volume added at the end of leg days in an effort to bring them up a little. You can never have big enough arms

My advice to people here is to rest up. We are typically stubborn and will not allow ourselves to rest unless is absolutely necessary or we are forced to. Use this time to fully rest, once you get back in the gym you will be thankful you did.

Jimmy, ALL gyms in Belgium are closed for 6 weeks. And that’s just the beginning. I’m 100% sure that “just rest up” for 6 weeks or longer and not doing bodyweight stuff at home would only make things worse.[/quote]
Wow that’s a long time. Sorry to hear that man. Definitely don’t rest up for 6 weeks. A full week off followed by some improvised home workouts, online is literally littered with them. I know aj Morris posted one on YouTube using bands etc. It’s about making the best of a bad situation now.
