Got asked down to Leicester today to film a podcast – was a full on set up multiple camera and all that so was awesome! Was all about me and my journey and it was really good to actually look back and talk about my life and what has inspired to to become who I am today amongst many other things. I don’t usually watch things back that I’m in but I probably will with this one as it felt poignant. Anyway back to it tomorrow for some high volume legs!

Following a new plan along the same lines as some of the higher volume stuff I’ve done of late. Did the first chest day yday and there was some fun bits in there including fst-7s, time under tension sets etc was a class session and chest is super sore today! Looking forward to getting stuck in and letting you guys know how I get on!

Amazing weekend I had a mate down to visit who I haven’t seen in years and it was so good to see him. Had a really busy weekend. Trained twice, also watched the Prague show. Can’t believe Samson lost to Martin. Martin did look insane though! Crazy good win for him! Super busy with work atm and looking forward to getting back into a busy week tomorrow. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Man training has been going to well recently in really enjoying this higher volume approach as it’s a mix of still training to failure but just … more of it. Supersets, drop sets, fst-7s. And it’s fucking Brutal. Im in bits but im loving it. My legs STILL hurt and that shit was nearly 6 days ago now 😂 … just hoping I have some sort of adaptation soon cus can’t be doing these doms all the time hahaha

Just keep the diet and the steps set as they are see what happens to your look and body weight and adjust from there. That is high steps though so perhaps the next adjustment would come from food if you don’t want to be doing cardio. If it were me I’d pull the steps down and add in 20/30 mins cardio. Much more time efficient and you’ll get some added cardiac benefits etc.

I’m on day 3 of some of the worst leg doms I’ve ever had 😂 … still unreal haha but I love it really. Damn if I keep that up my legs are gunna blow the fuck up! I don’t care what people say, doms to me is a sign you trained fucking hard! (Unless you haven’t trained in ages) … and your body will HAVE to adapt to it (by growing) if you keep up with that stimulus… which intend too… if these doms ever let up 😂😂

Honestly don’t think I’ve ever tracked a single ab movement in my life so (from my experience) dont get caught up on progressing abs too much. Like Michaela said there’s only really so much you can progress them, and imo better of focusssing on getting some quality work in. 2-3 sets of 12-20 reps full Rom and good squeeze. Twice a week and your set.

Honestly fuck me the leg Dom’s I’ve had last couple days has been next level. Usually after legs my legs are numb the day after then Dom’s 2nd day. Not with this higher volume training – day 1 (yesterday) I had mental doms like couldn’t walk properly doms, and then the same if not worse today 😂 the session was crazy, minimal rest periods just continuous fuckery but ngl I loved it! Hoping I adapt to these doms though Jesus 😂

Productive Saturday!
Admin and home jobs this morning.
Followed by a good leg session at kings gym tried the higher volume style of training today and I’m absolutely cooked. Expecting doms tomorrow 😂This evening was the British Grand Prix via the live stream. Was hoping Sas for the win but it was a very good line up and Krizo looked unreal! Looking forward to Sunday rest day tomorrow.

I also tried a higher volume delta and tri day today along similar lines to the chest day that I did. My shoulders struggle with heavy pressing atm due to a niggle from an old tear so this session actually felt very comfortable and had my shoulders In all sorts of the good pain!
Started off with lateral machine raise ascending weight from low weight to stack 10 reps of each peg, around 7/8 sets here.
Then single arm side cable raise – 2 sets in front of body, 2 sets behind. 15 reps on each.
Then superset of:
smith shoulder press (delts on fire by this point from previous work so pump was fantastic even on 2 plates a side) 5 sets of 8-15
Straight into db side raises 5 sets to failure on 12.5kg as side.Delts fried.
Then similar set up for tris with:
Machine dips
Single arm cable ext
Dual arm cable rope ext
Dual arm cable straight bar extUnreal session, crazy pump.

I think your probabaly need to look at your volume per session and your exercise selection. Get that sussed and you should be fine. If you’re not recovering then You’re likely doing too much in each session.
