    Hey All
    So today was leg day – we got to train at Kubas friends private studio which was cool. Session was good just slightly different to normal due to different kit but my legs are battered haha.
    Today i also dog walked (15k steps hit), food prepped and now chilling ready for bed and back to home work tomorrow x

    Has your plan had to change much at all for legs with different equipment ? X

    Hey Jeannie – yes so no access to a good pendulum for density day and no access to a back squat. So just switched around x

    Hey Dean,

    Cool set up you have and can definitely do a PPL set up with the stuff you have.

    Bands aren’t a waste of time you can get creative and can add extra resistance to make the moments harder. Bands used on there own wouldn’t obviously help to gain muscle but used alongside weight is fantastic!

    If you aren’t on prep I would enjoy it but I would personally place the free meal of a rest day anyway as it will digest better as food is generally lower anyway

    Hey All
    Happy Sunday and hope isolation isn’t treating you too bad!
    Today I dog walked, food prepped, saw some family, watched some TV with Kuba, competed all client work and trained pull
    I’ve added in 2 variations of deadlifts so a banded rack pull that I did last time and a standard RDL but with more reps they both feel great and look forward to building on them! Also got 200kg on thrusts for 8 since upping reps I’ve not hit this for a while so it feels good to have done this.
    Hope you’ve all had a good day

    200kg is insane on the hip thrust not long ago you were on 150 !! I had to strip my hip thrust down to 120 and go higher rep as my glutes are just always lacking x

    Hey Jeannie!
    It’s always good to strip it back if you aren’t feeling it where it needs to!
    Hope you’re well x

    This is very person specific. Highly depends on your recovery, split, your goals and the way in which you train

    I train like most of us on here with progressive overload mostly doing 2 sets with rep ranges of 6-10 and then a back off at 12-15 sometimes we add in a 15+ set with some rest pauses as my recovery is good ????

    Hey Everyone

    Hope you’re well!

    Today was a typical Tuesday – dog walk, food shop, food prep, working and then I trained Legs

    Got some good numbers on leg press and back today which I’m buzzing with especially as I’m cutting I seem to be getting stronger each week which is real positive

    Id pushed food for that long with my big offseason that my body was ready to diet and I feel fresh again. Excited to keep pushing with prep x

    Hey!
    I’d have 2 variations of the upper and lower sessions. I’d put heavy these in one lower body day and then look to have another variation for the second session

    Hey All

    Today was a typical Saturday – dog walk, food prep, food shop, client check ins and then went to train push

    Session was good. I’m struggling with a tight scap at the moment so trying to stretch and stay on top of recovery
