Push pull legs could be a good option as you could pick say 1 compound movement for chest, shoulders, back, quads and hams. The other exercises would still be hit hard but may not be as taxing aerobically and may not leave you as drained. So for instance with PUSH you could hit a compound shoulder movement, followed by chest movement and then go onto exercises that are more ‘shapers’ like pec dec, side raises, tricep pushdown etc. Same for PULL sessions and LEG sessions.

Push session rotation 3 this morning. All lifts progressed. Feel as though strength when pressing has improved this offseason which will hopefully show on stage in chest and delt thickness which was a feedback from the judges, as well as back thickness. Really simple approach, get strong as i can across all the movements and give the body no choice but to grow.
Was impressive results from the guys and Corinne competing out in Portugal this weekend. Really got me fired up for October. When you’re surrounded by such talented and hard working individuals you can’t do anything but respond with the same!!
This week is off to a off to a good start both in and out of the gym.

As long as you have the correct volume for the style of training, the correct recovery in place, eat meals to plan, and train progressively, in my opinion you will respond to almost any approach. Obvious things like how long you’ve been training for, age, the look you want to achieve etc comes in to it but in general any approach you will respond to. I think it’s more what you enjoy most that matters as you need to stick to it and not switch between different approaches every few months.

PCA junior class always turns out a good standard of competitors so I’d definitely look at this. Don’t know if NABBA has juniors but I’d look at them too. Both very well ran federations and a good standard of competition.

Good and sweaty pull session at Ultraflex Rotherham this morning. All numbers hit and felt strong. At that stage again in the cycle where everything moves well and it’s all progression. Nice place to be and will mean tissue will be built going into this prep. I have zero interest in not progressing lifts even deep into prep. Not in my nature and I can’t alter that mindset. Obviously I’m not reckless with it and won’t just chase numbers for the sake of it. But I won’t purposely back off just because I’m feeling ‘tired’ or ‘hungry’.
Progressed to 62kg dual arm bent over DB row for 8 reps. Will work on this until I hit 10 with good control and then jump another 2 or 3kg.
Will be doing push session tomorrow morning at Ultraflex 6:30am before heading back to Derby for work.

I think with your experience of training and the muscle you have built so far you could really look at progressing to an upper/lower split which you could hit upper Monday, lower Wednesday, upper Friday, lower Sunday and repeat. Or even push, pull, legs rotation. What you’ve built already looks like a great base and just needs enhancing.

Rest day today so had a lie in. When I can I’ll not set an alarm and let my body wake naturally. I believe your body will tell you when it’s had the sleep it needs. Modern day life tends to be busy and set by time, so it’s nice to not be setting an alarm and working to a schedule when possible.
Went to York for the afternoon which was nice. I spent 3 years studying at university there so always good to see the places I used to go. Had a nice coffee whilst my girlfriend had some seabass with curried mussels and salad. I’ll always try as much as possible to keep things ‘normal’ in terms of what we do. Even if I can’t eat the meal. She’s very easy going about it which helps a lot.
Spent the evening watching a movie called Unbroken which is an incredible true story. Well worth a watch and makes you think about how easy we really do have life.
Pull session tomorrow morning at Ultraflex Rotherham.

Legs rotation 2 was done this morning. Good session in the bag and all numbers beaten.
Hit 200kg plus whatever the matrix smith weighs for 6 reps. Then backed off to 170kg for 9 reps. I’ll stick at 200kg until I can push 10 controlled reps.
Because legs is my strongest body part it can be tempting to keep pushing and pushing the weight up but I find the load gets taken off the actual muscle needing to be worked and supporting muscles kick in more, which then takes away from the purpose of the movement. As soon as I feel I get to this stage I keep working at that same weight ensuring full focus is on the muscle being worked and that takes the load. That way the quality of the set is right, and not just weight moved for the sake of it.

Rest day and check in day today.
Bodyweight down from 240.2 to 239.2. Not sure what’s caused the drop other than body adjusting to being back on cycle. This tends to happen when I go back on cycle, I go up by around 5lbs in first week then drop 1 or 2 in second week as it levels out. Plus it’s been warmer recently, sweating more so could have something to do with it.
Change to last meal on rest day. It was 30g protein from whey, 300g zero fat greek yoghurt and 60g peanut butter. Now changed to 30g protein from whey, 300g zero fat Greek yoghurt, 20g peanut butter and 75g oats.
Hitting legs in morning.

Biceps try starting with a simple seated or standing single arm DB curl. Then move into say a dual arm cable curl or machine curl of choice.

Push session rotation 2 this morning. Mixed session in terms of progression. Few lifts were up by weight and/or reps, few were the same and a couple were down. I think the new cycle is kicking in still so not concerned. All in all things are on the up strength and progression wise. Never been a particularly strong presser but I’m getting stronger.
The video for legs with Jamie went up today and was a great one, especially for tips to really work the muscle and keep away from wrecking the knees.
Checking in tomorrow morning with Jordan and will see what changes are happening. I expect a few now it’s 12 weeks from show day and I’m ready to get PEELED.

Have you considered primo? I’ve used that last couple years and health has been good. Bloods come back good.

Good pull session in the bag this morning. Again, strength up on movements, almost back exactly where I was before cruise phase so I’m confident I will progress strength beyond where it ended before cruise began.
I’d been training between a few different gyms but I’ve decided to just keep it as one main gym in derby as was finding at times I’d be hitting the same rotation at 3 different places which was meaning log booking lifts was a bit messed up as different kit was being used. So going to keep it consistent entering prep.
Hitting push tomorrow morning.

Should be good after a month or two of consistent training and diet plus use of anabolics if that’s what you’re doing. All depends how you apply yourself though.
