This will depend on your time training so far. If you are new to it then following a full body routine is a great place to start, then progress to upper/lower, then to PPL. You need to make sure your diet is sharp and your recovery is the best possible. Once these are all being met your body will be in the best possible position to grow. Log sessions so you can continue to progress and monitor this.
With regards to symmetry ensure the targeted muscles are being worked. Is form good, are you work the muscle you wish to develop or is form sloppy so other muscles kick in? If you have weaker body parts then add a bit more focus to these areas in your training programme.

Real good pull session this morning. All lifts progressed. Took tbar rows up from 130kg for 8 to 135kg for 9 which I was pleased with. I feel this offseason I’ve connected well with my back movements and will see noticeable changes come comp time. Another 5 weeks to add as much thickness as possible.
Tomorrow will be push day. Again, the aim will be no different than any other session. Beat the previous time the session was hit!!

You may have clipped a nerve which has caused the pain down the leg, I’ve had this before. The same with the lump, you may not have injected deep enough. What pins are you using? I’ve stayed away from glutes now as was affecting the look. If it’s a new brand of gear you’re using it could also be the oil used as can react negatively to certain oils.

Rest day today and another fun day with the team at Bodypower. Really glad I got to spend more time with everyone and get to know all the team better. Every single person is truly amazing. I’ve left feeling even more motivated to push harder and harder.
And to make the weekend even sweeter Manchester City won the league !! Great end to an awesome weekend. Ready to go into the new week and nail it!!

I’ve trained both early morning and later in the evening. Whichever I’ve done I’ve logged all sessions and always progressed, at the same rate. You adjust your day to suit the time you will train. The things that would affect your training would be diet, hydration, sleep, work stress etc. If they are all controlled well and recovery is good then the training time won’t be an issue at all.

Awesome day at Bodypower today with the whole team on the TrainedbyJP and Supplement Needs stand. Said it a few times before, I feel very fortunate and privileged to be a part of this incredible team. Can’t wait to get back tomorrow.
This morning legs rotation 1 was hit at Emporium gym. Everything was taken to failure and had a really good session. Good energy and vibe in the gym. Rest day tomorrow.

This could be something you could correct with single arm movements to see if you’re pulling slightly more with one side than the other or stronger one side than the other. Or it could be deeper lying and may need looking at by a good sports therapist to see if you’re activating the muscle and the signal is getting through to work.

My results came back accurately from YR and it was the finger prick kit. I’ve had bloods come back inaccurate from other companies used and they have been full IV. As long as you send it of ASAP that will determine the accuracy.

Push rotation 1 was hit this morning and it all went well. Wanted to beat the DB shoulder press but matched the max weight set was so close to getting one more rep. The back off set was beaten though. All other exercises were progressed by weight and/or reps.
Checked in with JP too. Weight at 238.4lbs. Mentioned the stalling on a few exercises and JP had a little concern but we decided it’s nothing to worry about as I mentioned it only happens once in an exercise and the following week it will progress. If it had been across a whole week on all exercises then maybe this would have been something to look closer at. Recovery is good, sleep, food, hydration, supplementation etc so nothing needs to change currently.
Tomorrow will be a rest day ahead of the Bodypower weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone and feeling the buzz and energy.

If you are referring to tightening up as in getting leaner then this will come by numerous things out together. Your training, cardio, diet and recovery. A number of months spent building tissue, and then dieting down. You may have to repeat this process a few times to get that real ‘tight’ look but if you follow the videos on the website you will be in safe hands. And please continue to ask as many questions as you need to and we will gladly help 🙂

100% what @clare said. I’ve found during prep I’ve actually increased strength up until the final few weeks, and then have random days even in final few weeks where strength suddenly jumps up. Log and then you can feed back for other preps.
Also remember you’ll have days where you feel drained on prep so having the numbers there to beat will remind you that no matter how drained you may feel you MUST attack the session and hit the numbers. Mentally you may feel tired that session but physically you have it in you to pull it out the bag!!

Successful PULL session in the bag this morning. Was rotation 3 and the big main movement to beat was rack deads. Been working it back up towards the 280kg I hit before my op. Failed at 253kg last week only getting 4 reps of the 8-10 wanted. This week nailed 8 with very strict form. Will push this up to 260 next time round which will see me in striking distance to hit the 280kg come mid/end June when offseason ends and prep starts.
Today’s big news was obviously the Giant, IFBB Jamie Johal, joining the team. Amazing for us and for Jamie. Having known big J personally since 2015 I’ve been lucky enough to see first hand this guys passion for bodybuilding. Remember this is a man who stopped a successful career in the fire service to pursue his dream, and that dream is now a reality. This is someone I literally look up to haha. Welcome brother ????????
Tomorrow morning will be a PUSH session and the numbers are there to be beaten. It’s also check in day with the boss so will post any changes tomorrow ????????

I’d look to have a couple of different upper and lower sessions. So upper 1, lower 1, upper 2, lower 2 and repeat this. I’d also add a pressing movement for shoulders such as a smith press, DB press or machine press with each upper session if shoulders are a weakness as you say. You could also try adding one bicep and one tricep movement in with leg sessions and have just one of each with upper sessions, may help bring them up.

After all the excitement of last nights match it must have knackered me out at alarm went off at 6am, lay down for what I thought would be 5 more minutes and next thing I know it’s 10am!!! Clearly must have needed the sleep. Been happening a lot recently. But I’m growing and recovering well so just ‘listening to my body’ as they say.
Will be no sleeping in tomorrow though as I’m up at 5:30am to get meal in before 7am PULL session. Rack deads on the menu and some weight needs to be moved. Maximise this final stage of offseason and really push these big lifts as far as I can.
