Hi mate,

Great job so far.

Have the movements you’re on now been in from the start?

Thanks man,

Yeah I’m just bashing away at the same movements, I have variation e.g. FB 1 , FB 2 ( Bench press 1 , Dumbbell press 2 etc ).

My gym is a private strongman gym, great equipment strongman wise but I wouldn’t have no prime machines 😂 mainly all free weights I do.

I’m going to swap over to upper lower for a while, I would like to think I’ve built decent amount of muscle where I can move on from full body ( in my unprofessional opinion ), upper lower will be probably be same movements give or take the odd addition here and there now that I can afford more volume, and I’m going to include a working set back off set mechanic so I can play with different rep ranges

Hey buddy, how old are you and how long have you been training for?

I really do like upper body split. If you feel like FB has taken you to where you need, the only way of seeing if you prefer upper lower is trying it and see. Adjust your volume as you go

Hey phoebe,
I’m 19 years old and have been training just over 3 years – the past year has been full body split every other day.

Hi Naoise, I suggest rather than progressing load you push for some more reps. I’d go back down to 90kg and aim to be within 5-9 and 9-12 for back off. It’s fun to test peak strength but as soon as you’re doing doubles and triples it’s very hard to progress from there if you’re training around failure.

What is your overall goal? To develop your chest or to improve peak strength in your bench press?

Cheers for feedback

Overall goal is building muscle yes but i like training as heavy as possible, i will as you said drop back down weight to the 5-9 rep range

My Main concern was the drop in reps, ive done 100×4 two sessions previously then that one session where i had 100×2 threw me off mentally, once set was over i said to myself why did that not go up for more 😂 A sign i was doing something wrong
