Anywhere from 12-20 works for me.

General advice is start with the least you need to make progress sustainably.

I also think it depends on strength levels and development, ie doing 2 sets with 300k+ on deadlifts is going to do a lot more damage than a few with 160k!

Good upper session yesterday-

Hammer chest press x2

Hammer shoulder x2

Dips x2

Rolling Triceps x3

Chest support t bar x2

Nautilus xpload pulldown x2

Cable curl x3

NB-

Starting a new routine from next week.

Going to go with upper/lower/full body with the full body being at this gym, as I can access a hack squat and some different back machines.

Thanks all, it’s great to have high level feedback.

I’m going to see the GP this week, and hoping to be able to see a physio earlier next month.

Will stick to machines for pressing and generally scale back training on the upper body until it’s better ?

Thanks guys, appreciate that!

I don’t have any money to see a sports therapist right now, but I am ringing the GP tomorrow as they could give me a referral for physio.

Hopefully I can get it fixed soon as I was progressing well!

Today was upper

Went fairly smoothly, albeit felt limited by my shoulder injury.

Think I need to start switching things around as some movements are stalling now..

There’s a highly limited amount of volume per session you can add… But you can progress load much more linearly.

It’s always better to figure out ways to train harder than more (to a certain degree) IMO

Hi Rich,

Enjoying reading your log.

Do you use the top set/back off approach throughout? I know you used cluster sets in the past.

Thanks!

Heavy leg day on Friday, progressed my SSB squat and RDL.

Starting to eat and rest a little better now too which is pleasing.

Had to take a few days off training to feel normal again after the second COVID jab.. felt strangely exhausted and out of it.

Back tomorrow!

Thanks for the technique pointers regarding bending the bar.

I’ll work on that over the next few weeks, along with a more controlled negative portion of the rep.

Really appreciate the feedback!

Asrar, what sort of job do you have?

Would be really interested to see how you’ve made it work given your mental health issues. Many can’t get it right
