I really like the cable pullover! Constant tension trough the entire rang of motion! But I see it as an isolation exercise where I really try to focus on mind muscle connection and stay in a rep range of 12-15 instead of going heavy because I loose the mind muscle connection when I go really heavy on this one!

We dropped calories again to 2.490 on my workout days! And I felt very tired and low in energy today. But my push workout was insane! Hit 130kgx7 and the smith machine incline press which is an all time pb!

I agree with Tim and would switch to full body splits and focus on heavy compunds to make sure you get the most out of the least amount of volume and make sure you recover well. The most important is that your lifts are progressing. When you are getting stronger with perfect form you are going to grow. No matter of how many sets you do!

Legs on the menu today! Feeling good and recovered. Can’t wait to hit legs later in the day!

When you feel great stick with it and just add extra calories. Caloric surplus means you are going to build muscle
-
Yes that could be one solution. And i would switch to more calorie dense food sources if you want to put on weight
-
Well needed rest day today. Nothing crazy planned. Just doing groceries, cooking and work. And recover for tomorrow’s leg session. ????????

Hi Michael,
Enjoying following the log! Couple of questions.
1) How would you describe your training style? Sets, reps etc.
2) If you had to criticise your physique, what bodypart needs the most bringing up?
3) If you had to round up 4 people for the hardest training session of your life, who’d they be?
4) What’s your job?
5) Favourite post show treat?
First of all: thanks mate. Great questions. Really appreciate them.
1) training style is a lot jp based. Mostly 2 working sets all out to failure. One loading and one backoff set. Sometimes when i feel a benefit of doing a 3rd set i go for one.
2) I think my back has improved a lot but is still a weakness compared to chest and shoulders and my pretty wide frame. And i don’t really like the shape of my arms. And yes overall mass can always be more. ????
3) this one is very very critical for me to answer because i trained with so many great ahletes from around the world. I admire @kevinstuetz for his unbelievable work ethic. He’s definitely one of those. Anr i personally like women. It sounds strange but i believe the have a much higher pain tolerance than most man. @lara-tasharofi is definitely a machine in the gym and i love training with her. But like i said there are many many more. Sometimes normal gym members which aren’t really comeptive athletes but the kill them each workout and i love that. It inspires me a lot.
4) I own a gym here i Austria. So at daytime i’m a full time daddy because i have a little son and my wife is working and in the evening i work in my gym.
5) to be honest i don’t have any favorite treat. What i enjoy the most is having a good meal with my loved ones without having to weigh my food. ????

Deadlifts, rack deads, hyperextensions, reverse hyperextensions, good mornings
And every kind of barbell row bent over will help strengthen your lower back static too.

Hi Mic, how high is yr high incline Military on Smith? 80deg or 70deg?
To be honest i don’t know mate. I just use a hight that feels good that given day and switch around a little every few weeks to hit different angles.

Consume less calories than you put out. Whatever you are going to do you need to be in a caloric deficit
-
Like all the others said: get everything on point first before you even think about using gear. Training, nutrition, recovery. When everything is maxed out you can start thinking about it.
-
Warm up enough that you feel ready to hit a heavy weight but not to much that it’s going to take away strength from your loading set.
Kubas sheme looks very solid.
