    With regards to “10-8” rep range does this mean set 1 you aim for higher and then set 2 you keep weight but just let the reps fall off? [/quote]

    I think you just have to learn your body and where your muscular failure point is
    What about in the meantime having someone there as a safety to help you rack the final rep?

    If you gain bf easily and do not have a high output on non training days via your lifestyle, you can decrease carbs but id leave protein and fat the same

    The amount just depends on you, your progress, recovery, output etc

    How big of a difference is your intake right now compared to what you were eating prior to starting said diet

    I’d pull out some movements that are just repetitive within the same session
    Like you don’t need two of the same movement patters on different machines within the same session. Maximize one and then move on

    Honestly going back to PPL seems like it would resolve your issue if that’s an option

    Go for it man! See how you enjoy it, how you respond, and how you’re able to progress and then just tweak accordingly!

    Along with what Meg said.. When you’re coming out of the hole, think about sliding your feet forward on the floor to cue yourself to drive up with quads and not hips

    March 29, 2023 at 1:02 pm in reply to: Fixed schedule split help

    Are you opposed to set days for set body parts vs PPL?

    No I am very open in general. My back and my legs are definetly not as strong as my arms/delts/chest if that helps

    And thanks for all the answers guys!! Really appreciate it!!

    How about trying this: (totally just an idea only, you certainly don’t have to. Ultimately it’s what you prefer, enjoy, and works for your schedule!)

    Sun: Quads
    Mon: off
    Tues: Back
    Wed: chest + delts
    Thurs: off
    Fri: Hams + back
    Sat: arms (you can put more delt here too if you want)
