Jordan, I’m a bit late to the party, and generally don’t comment on posts.

Hats off to you for making a hard decision like this!

Already had a lot of respect for you due to the amazing content you put out there, then when you came out a year or so ago and spoke about your family, and now this! I doff my cap!

I decided to jump on the trt bandwagon a few months ago after feeling like shit for a few years, mentally and physically, got my bloods done to check and wanted to optimise! Never felt so good!

You’re going to feel fucking epic in a few months time!

Long live JP!!

Cheers,

Steve

Hey Nick,

I’m not in the UK so potentially useless response…

I was pretty much abusing cannabis and it seemingly ruined my sleep.

My doctor prescribed me melatonin. Apparently the stuff that you can get online is crap and doesn’t get absorbed properly and a bit of a waste of money.

@scott-stevenson lol I didn’t expect you to rock up! Tbh I have recently moved to a new gym which is really really well equipped so I should be able to get what I need to get done, done. If I’m going from squat to leg ext to leg curl. Tier 2 I would do a couple of warm up sets in each as a kind of zigzag and then go into my zigzag. Not sure if that’s what you intended?

I quite like FT, with the exception of the zigzagging which I feel is a logistical nightmare. The only way to make it work if the gym is busy is to camp in a power rack and use different exercises, which I am not a fan of. I would be inclined to just do straight sets instead, which is probably likely to upset SS.

I struggle to see how you regulate MRV shy of deloading frequently.

I think I will give it a crack in the summer. When I want to get peeled.

I did the rotation 1 Hams + Back last night and I had to stop after I had finished Calves. I will need to split these workouts into AM/PM to get the most out of them As I wouldn’t have performed at my best on back otherwise. Anyone see an issue with doing this? I did banded RDL from the power rack to hip height, not sure if that is what is intended but the glute contraction is off the chain.

[Steve Tait]

I’ve just sent another email to support. If the workout is supposed to be like that, fair enough, I just doubt it. I think it might be toe press , seated calf raise then calf stretch. Maybe Db sissy squat? I’ll carry on doing my LU LPP for a while until the errors are squared away I think.

[Steve Tait]

I just redownloaded and it looks like the random stretches have been taken out and fixed up.
I did notice that there is a adductor superset with leg raise superset with calf raise. Which is a few after the calf stretch. Wonder if this is another error? Seems a bit odd to be putting calves back in after your stretch, no?

[Steve Tait]

What’s your ROM like on squats / hacks? Do you high bar squat?

[Steve Tait]

Quad stretch is just your standard quad stretch, there is another one but that is vile.
Bicep stretch is kind of hanging from a bar probably set around midback height palms up (I think)
Google DC stretches, that’s what he is essentially referring to. you should be able to find some good youtube vids and JP did a video on DC stretches a while back, but not sure if he covered them all.

[Steve Tait]

Always warm up properly before going into working sets or your performance will likely not be as good and you have an increased chance of getting an injury.

Hi Richard,

You can do reverse banded high incline press in a power rack. Attaching the bands to the top and hooking over each end of your barbell. You can do them in a smith too. I have emailed the support email and highlighted the issues in the ebook. I may have missed some, but noticed all that have been mentioned.
Could the dumbbell squat be a sissy squat? otherwise I am struggling to see the benefit.

Mark said that it had been reported and he was reuploading without. I then looked again and the random bicep stretch on day 1 was gone but there were some others. I am sure it will be all sorted soon. The exercises that you dont know will be a post on google.

I am a bit concerned about how many hours these workouts will take? I may have to split them AM/PM to get the most out of it. The wife will love that. 🙂

I just think it’s funny, because you seem to have a similar sense of humour (moaning) to me.
Is the extra heat helping you to get the last bit of narliness ?(not a word). Although you are in Melbourne, which is a bit colder than here in Sydney.

[Steve Tait]

Hey Luke! You are 1 funny bloke. Can’t believe how to still maintain your sense of humour in the depths of prep. Are you in Aus yet?
What is your training looking like this week?
