Totally agree with Jordan and James. If I’m in a position where equipment in the gym is broken or it’s so busy I can’t wait to use a piece of kit, I’ll make a swap. From then on, I know my numbers on that piece of kit and I’ll take note, so if I’m ever in that position again I’ll know what to do. Swapping things weekly and not sticking to a structure isn’t a great way to measure progress. If you are someone that overthinks the small stuff and worries about if you’re actually making progress, stick to movements, stick to order of movements and progress them. That way, you have literal evidence to suggest you ARE making progress.

Hi guys happy Friday! Rest day today for me and up early. Very wet and windy walk (no snow here in the south just rain) breakfast and work. Then popped over to see my family for the rest of the day. Steps hit, meals consumed, ready for bed

I completely agree with what Alison, Hilly, Sas and James have said. If you are trying to fast as a tool to help with satiety I think there’s likely a better way to go about things so you can feel a little more satisfied with meals. Let us know what you’re currently eating so we can suggest some helpful options

Send some pics if you can Chris. Then we can let you know our opinion on what’s best for you. From a mental perspective, sometimes you just need to do it. If you’ve trained for a while, spent time in an offseason(s) and want to experience competing and see if competitive bodybuilding is something you enjoy, I say build a timeline and do it. It’s very easy to fall into the trap of wanting to be bigger, wanting to improve and keep working away. You gain SO much experience from competing; the skill of dieting, you find what works well for you and what you might struggle with, stage time/presentation and of course, feedback from the judges and your coach (if you have one). Look at it as the start of your journey not the end goal.

Hiya Nicholas, sounds to me just from reading the above that what you describe for stance A is something you feel stable and powerful with so I’d opt for that. I wouldn’t stress too much about the ‘perfect’ stance to take. As long as you’re getting as much knee flexion (without pain or mobility issues), can progress the movement and enjoy it you’re good 👍🏼

Hi guys rest day today for me! Up and out for another very icy walk. Probably worse than yesterday with lots of black ice. I almost hit the deck multiple times! Back home for breakfast, check ins, calls, training analysis. The lot! Then headed over to my grandmas to make her a nice lunch. She’s not fussy at all so honestly I just make more of what my scheduled meal is! Chicken breast, potatoes, veg and some gravy of course for grandma. Had a lovely afternoon with her! Back home to wrap up for the day, out for a short walk and another quick food shop (ran out of chicken again) and chilling for the evening!

Hi guys! Training today but up and out for a walk this morning, still very icy! Breakfast, check ins and work before going in for quads and glutes. Pb on the leg press which I am absolutely beaming about, maintained all other movements really well. SUCH a better session compared to last week. Very happy! Back home to finish work for the day, quick food shop then chilling! Bodyweight has been pretty stable and recently after training and resting is actually coming down. An adjustment to food may be on the horizon but I’ll give it the rest of this week 👍🏼

Hi guys! Happy Monday! Feels very strange to not be training on a Monday but here we are. I absolutely needed this rest day. I feel MILES better compared to this time yesterday. Up for a walk, breakfast, check ins, calls and work. Out for another walk this evening and now chilling for the night!

Hi guys! Happy Sunday. Today very much felt like a Monday. Since I’m trialling one-on-one off, I was in to train hams and glutes today. It was an OKAY session. This has been a week of getting back properly into the groove with training after being ill over christmas and after pushing training this week, I’m struggling to recover. I have a rest day tomorrow, so that will help loads. Still progressed movements well, just TIRED today. Back home for work, check-ins, calls, and finally wrapping up for the day now

Hi guys happy Saturday! Taken a rest day today and will be trialling one on one off for a while. It’s likely because I’m a bit run down but for the past month or two I’ve been coming into my final session of the week with a lot less gas in the table. Likely because I train the day before. So I’d like to trial one on one off rather than following a weekly schedule. It’ll mean my day to day will be slightly different. If I find I don’t find much benefit from this, and that my general life/work becomes a lot more stressful to handle with a
Changing schedule I’ll adjust accordingly! Chill day today with some nice walks, work and now chilling for the eveningInstagram - lulubellelifts

Hiya Sam. Totally agree with the guys above. All in all, yes it can be beneficial and if possible would be great however, if you have limited availability to kit/movements, running the same rotation can still bring great progress. I’ve been running the same rotation for the longest time now and still progressing movements well

Hi guys! Happy Friday. It’s felt like such a strange couple of weeks with bank holidays, Christmas and New Years cutting up the week! Up for a very icy walk this morning, breakfast and work then in for a full leg day! Had a great session. It was very busy and so unfortunately had to sub a few movements in (pendulum and seated leg curl for hack squats and lying) it is what it is and still got a great session in. Back home after to continue on for the day, short walk and chilling now
