    Answered this in your other thread. Best way is to be in shape and just treat it like a normal day. Maybe pull water back a bit the day before and day of just to have a tighter stomach

    My response would be the same exact thing Kuba has said here! I really don’t know of anything to add
    You just have to go for it and keep cracking away at it just like you did the 55’s

    I honestly do not really deload myself, or I just don’t have a word or definition for what I do maybe lol

    I definitely do not have any pre determined times, I just autoregulate everything based on my bodies needs at that current point in time
    But honestly I just try to manage everything on a regular basis where I can continue to push without needing a deload.
    I.e proper training volume, recovery, diet, sleep, etc

    There’s definitely benefit if truly needed
    But that’s the trick is knowing if it is actually needed
    Learning your body based on recovery and response

    June 13, 2023 at 8:59 pm in reply to: Shoulder/knee tendon flare

    Are you doing anything to recover the injury? Pre hab and rehab work, massage therapy, better form, stretching, tb500/bpc157 ?

    Yea this is a chronic issue but this time the worst left shoulder has been. Normal rehab isn’t working on this one! Tried tb500 and bpc, deffo helped but not enough! It’s just pressing and everything else is fine. I have seen a specialised and physio and it Looks like a steroid injection is needed again for this one! [/quote]
    Yeah and I would suggest time off to let recover instead of continually beating it up and expecting it to go away

    Are you getting any massage work done on it?

    Just started getting more work on it again, once a week remedial massage and every second day just rolling a ball into my pec[/quote]
    Great! Keep that up! Also the nuebie machine is very beneficial in a recovery setting for this if you have a therapist that utilizes it!
    Not saying using it for training , just therapy

    That’s really only a question you can answer based on your goals! If you enjoy the process of push ups and downs even if not making huge leaps of progress then keep cracking on!
    But if you are at a stage you would find more enjoyment in just maintaining then that’s the way to go!

    Go for it man! Just have to try it and see if you get on better with it than what you have been doing! Once you get a feel for it then if you have more questions on any tweaks needed report back here!

    Yeah I would switch it up now. I’d take a few days to a week off to get fresh and then go back in with a new approach, either a set split or upper lower split like above have recommended

    If your goal is to add muscle tissue, then yes you can get into a surplus if you’re in a deficit. But you don’t have to go crazy hard the other direction, just a nice gradual push up

    Go for it! Nice gradual push up, use pics weekly to asses progress and of course training performance as well
