    I think this is very person dependent. I love the progressive overload style of training. I think it really comes down which one you just like more and prefer. If you have a programm you really love and put a lot of effort in those sessions you will see results! I think not everybody can train the way Jordan trains because it takes a lot of balls to train like that and be afraid of sessions days before!

    I don’t see any problem doing hiit on your off days! I think 15min is to short to interfere with your overall ability to recovery. Maybe legs could be a problem if you are doing full body every other day! Just keep on eye on your recovery!

    I prefer taking a few days off completely. Somewhere between 5 – 7 days instead of going to the gym for a half assed workout. I never know how to handle intensity on deload sessions and tend to do to much or go to intense so i just rest for a few days but it’s person dependent. Either you rest for 5 – 7 days or do 2 weeks of deload session. I love to bust my ass in training so i like to go with the short break ????

    When it’s the only possible time of the day get it in post workout! Don’t overthink everything. It may not be optimal but it’s better than no cardio at all! I wouldn’t do it for to long post workout but about 30min shouldn’t do anything bad!

    For biceps I don’t like to start with hammer curls because my forearms get really exhausted and it makes it difficult to really overload my biceps with the following exercises because my forearms will give up first. I love them as a finishing exercise!

    With triceps I would exactly do it the way you discribed it!

    Rest day today! Started my day with a 40min walk. That’s my first day of prep were I feel really crushed! The last two sessions really beat me into the ground. Today is the first day were I really feel like preping.

    2.800 calories and 300g of carbs on my rest days which is really comfortable for me. Really excited for the next few weeks!

    Hy! I’ve always had good forearms so I may not be the best guy to listen to but mine improved a lot from heavy deadlifting without straps, thick bar curls, reverse grip curls and hammer curls!

    Is your strength still improving or hit a plateau too? If your strength is also stalling maybe it’s time for a deload or a mini cut

    I think polar is pretty much the best in the business! Also the most used!
