Thank you I appreciate your response!

Hey guys thank you so much for responding, apologies for my wording it’s awful

I want to prioritise my time bulking and gaining as much muscle as I can

so I thought of running a 4 week aggressive cut so I could shave off some chub and continue to then build back up to bulking again, but feeling a little hungry

My thought process was swapping a training session for a cardio day so I could increase calories on the other days so I could eat more

Thanks once again guys!

If time is limited, then PPL would probably be a better choice. If you also can’t train on Wednesdays or Saturdays, then maybe this set up would work for you:

Mon – Off

Tues – Pull (with a hip hinge)

Weds – Off

Thurs – Legs

Fri – Push

Sat – Off

Sun – Legs/Arms

Quick question, do you have a guide or suggestion on how to best layout each Gym session?

Thank you for the suggestion Clare!

If limited to 1 hour then Upper/lower may well be a struggle for most IME. I would look to PPL and simply rotate through sessions based on your weekly schedule.

Thank you for responding peter!

What other pressing is in the sessions ? I can get away with 4 sets of press total and no additional iso work , to see consistent progress when I do U/L , so it’s likely you will need to scale back on total press sets across chest / shoulder / tri

Hi Jordan, Thank you for responding!
Across the sessions I have one shoulder press (1X6-9 /12-16) but I do have 3/4 movements for Tricep Isolation, (due to trying to bring up my arms) These movements are progressing well, would you recommend to scale it back?

[Owen Wall]

Pushing is typically the area that progresses the slowest, so it’s very common for lifts to stall. It depends on the time you’ve been stuck on the above movements. If it’s 4+ weeks, then consider swapping the movement out for something else, if it’s less than that, continue to persist and see if you see movement/progressions.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your response!
Which movements would you recommend switching?
