Slin is back in. 6 units pre and post training. I had some issues re hypo-ing last time I used it on prep so hopefully
Now I’m in an off season setting I can manage it a little more accurately – I will also be measuring my BG so that I can time more accurately when to use it and when to wait.tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

I can tell you that he will ‘go for it’ if it’s there and go as low as 2/3 reps to touch new weights. He’ll then usually go back to normal set 1 loading rep range for following couple of weeks, then come back to the Lower rep range and more than likely progress that nicely.
From training with him I can see he does that on feel and how good the session is going/feeling. If it’s there, take it mentality

Ok so had some bad news today you may have seen via my Instagram. An injury from earlier in the year has actually turned out to be a broken back!! My L5 is fractured on both sides. It cannot he fixed but it can be managed and I’ll do my best to do so and still progress my physique and my career.

Also don’t look at it as a Lower back loading movement – it’s a posterior chain movement, so every muscle on the rear side of your body is under tension here – hams glutes lower and upper back etc – your work them all through different ranges

Got it! For some reason i feel like i can contract much better with the dumbbells so was thinking about alternating between the two but wanted to make sure both are as effective. Thank You![/quote]
For sure bro! Use both varieties one and get string as hell at both!tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

It could be a good idea to activate with some light lateral raises but I wouldn’t go to failure and take from my heavy presses. I usually look to hit 6 sets of different raise variation ????

Are those 6 sets all in the same session mate? & are they all working sets to failure? [/quote]
Yes all in the same session and yes all to failure. I don’t do anything not to failure. Eg. 3 sets of side lateral cuffed cable raises and 3 sets of either machine side raises or strict dB side raises 🙂tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

If you dont have that much kit then maybe you can use both the smith and the back squat variations. Also on the smith you can do a lying leg press – just get someone to spot that can twist the bar when you start and finish the set.

I have a leg press in my gym.
I do stiff leg and smith squat in my first session.
In my second session I do leg press and lunges.. think about to add free squat to the second rotation.
I’m afraid to miss the benefit from free squat.
What do you think?
It’s necessary ?[/quote]
I don’t think back squat is necessary at all – if anything it’s actually a mechanically difficult movement to do with decent load meaning a lot of people compensate and actually take a lot of stress away from the quads. I much prefer a heel raised smith squat variation.tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |
