If you are doing ppl i would say 2 rotations should be enough. If you are training full body i woukd have 3 rotations.

Still not able to train today. I really hate feeling sick ???? can’t wait to train again but i think that’s a sign my body needed the rest.
Just try to get my meals in and recover as good as possible.

I always pre cook my meals for the next day and eat everything cold.
But there is also some kind of ‘thermo cups’ available which keep your food warm for hours.

Still sick today but at least i’m feeling better than yesterday. Hoping i can hit the gym again tomorrow.

I would mainly focus on progressing my compound lifts. Makes no sense for me to get stronger at cable flyes or side laterals. With iso movements your main goal should be to have perfect mind muscle connection! Getting stronger on iso movements too is a good thing over time but I would not “force” progression at any cost!

Feeling a little sick today so I decided to take another rest day! Bodyweight was up to 84,2kg this morning which is definitely the highst I’ve ever had being this lean! I hope I don’t get really sick because my wife and my son are in bed with the flue at the moment!

Sounds pretty solid to me mate! Also the posted rotation sounds good to me! Just make sure your recovery is on point because those workouts with lots of compound lifts are going to be very very demanding on your nervous system and your ability to recover! Make sure you are in a caloric surplus and when you feel you need an extra day of rest – take it!

Fantastic push session today! Pressed the 55kg dumbells for 12 on the incline which is an all time pb! I’m very happy. Being in a cruise/recovery phase doesn’t automatically mean that you are getting weaker. Regulate your volume and frequency, make sure your rest is on point and you are in a caloric suprlus and you should still be able to at least hold your strength!
Dumbell incline benchpress 55×12, 44×15
Weighted dips +20×12, +30×10
Cable overhead extensions 3 sets 15-20reps
Banded pushdowns 50 reps
Side lateral machine 2 sets
Cable upright rows 1 set
Peck deck 1 set -
Congrats mate! To be honest, I would worry to much about lifting atm my friend. Try to spend as much time at home with your familiy you can! Because this special time never comes back. And when you have time to hit the gym, do what you enjoy doing. Have fun. Try to energize yourself a little because you will have many sleepless nights 😉
I would focus a lot on the compound lifts because those are the lifts that keep the muscle the best imo!
Squats, deadlifts, military press, incline barbell press, rows

Again another day of rest today for me! I’m trying to limit it to 4 workouts a week because I feel that’s the limit for me to recover efficiantly when I’m really training all out with heavy compound lifts. Also my volume in those session is very baseline at the moment. But this limit in volume stil allows me to make amazing progress even in my cruise phase!

It depends if you feel a benefit from it. A belt helps me a lot ti create better intra abdominal pressure and keep a neutral spine which enables me to lift much heavier weights.
I have a cardillo belt. Also shiek, inzer and pioneer are great.

Dumbell shrugs 1 set
High cable curls 1 set 2 forced reps
Barbell curls 1 set rest pause -
Yes. 1-2g of salt in your pre workout should give you a better pump and better contractions. Just give it a try and if you feel a difference keep it

Rest day again after yesterday’s leg massacre. My little son is sick and i’m feeling a little pain in my throat today. Hope i don’t get sick too.

Hy mate. Welcome!
Pic or video would be great. A bad squat is often a mobility issue. Try stretching your calves (ankle mobility), glutes , hamstrings and hip flexors.
And some people are simple not built to squat optimally and it turns into a good morning.
