    If you feel it good in the intended muscle, go for it and see how you progress!

    Ham emphasis training!
    Again, this is part of the programming Joe has sent me. Like I said before, nothing too different than what I was doing previously with the exception here being changing out leg press for pendulum squat to bias extra quad work. And we’ve added hyper extensions as I need mid back work without the trap involvement.

    Hams

    A1 leg extensions
    Set 1: 6-8 reps
    Set 2: 8-10 reps*

    A2 Seated leg curls
    Set 1: 5-8 reps
    Set 2: 8-10 reps

    B1 lying leg curls
    Set 1: 5-8 reps
    Set 2: 8-10 reps

    C1 pendulum squat
    Set 1: 10-12 reps
    Set 2: 12-15 reps

    D1 adductors
    Set 1: 10-12 reps
    Sets 2: 12-15 reps

    E1 RDLs
    Set 1: 6-8 reps
    Set 2: 6-8 reps

    F1 low back extensions
    Set 1: 10-12 reps
    Set 2: 10-12 reps

    Do you do any pre-hab work in your warm up before training?
    Do you have a body work therapist that you get work done with?

    Hey Oscar, within this kind of training are you also consistent with all other variables outside of it like diet, sleep, water intake?
    Do you notice when you have those dips in performance if it correlates with any of those other things being off?

    I would venture to say just try not to overthink the process of scheduling in specific times for things etc and just get the food and all other variables in and train hard!

    Hey Richie! It would be great if you could post some photos of yourself if you don’t mind and I could more specifically help you with your question!

    Hey Michaela! TBH I rarely post pics coz I’m never happy with my physique but here’s some to give you an idea. I don’t tend to pose as a lifestyle lifter I think it’s important to look decent day by day and relaxed but if there are any specific poses that would help let me know and I can take. Also forgive the balf asleep look – perils of 2 kids! 😂[/quote]
    Here’s a suggestion and you can run with it and see if you like it!

    Monday – push
    Tuesday – pull
    Wednesday – off
    Thursday – legs
    Friday – push
    Saturday – pull
    Sunday – off

    Non training day today!

    20 min fasted cardio and posing rounds this morning and then the cold plunge

    The best part about the cold plunge is the short time after where your body feels no pain because it’s numb lol makes me want to do it numerous times per day lol

    Went into the gym at my normal training time for tanning, foam rolling, and stretching

    January 18, 2023 at 9:27 pm in reply to: Cybex hack squats. How does everyone set up?

    I say go with whichever feels best and you feel most activation in your quads.
    But judging based off photos only and not by me knowing how either feels for you, I’d say the ones in the vans looks like a lot more inner quad/adductor bias, and the closer stance looks like it would be more outter quad

    You could honestly also try the stance in the red shoes without dropping hips as low and see if that helps keep it directly on the quads

    Glute emphasis training day!

    Joe Bennett has sent me his recommendation on my training programming that I will be following from here on, it is essentially the same thing I have been doing with the exception of moving some movement order around – still the freedom to adjust accordingly as I see fit, but when someone I respect gives me something to follow, I follow!

    Calves on body master hack/press (this is on my own doing, not written in program)
    1 top rest pause set
    1 drop set

    Smith glute bridge (I was doing this as 3rd movement previously)
    365 x11
    315 x13

    Walking lunge – I used SSB (had these last previously)
    Two sets 10-12 reps per leg

    Adductor (I had this first previously and was doing 1 top rest pause set)
    295 +2 plates x11
    295 +1 plate x13

    Abductor (had this second previously)
    Set 1: 10-12 reps
    Set 2: 12-15 reps

    Sled push
    3 rounds near failure (40-60 sec per round)
    I do not have a sled yet, so I did this on the bike with high resistance as it was my only option for high output/blood volume without the eccentric loading

    Cable kick back (my own doing, not in program)
    2 sets 12-15 reps

    I opt for always controlling eccentric. Then just get stronger within that!

    Yes, it certainly can. It just depends on the individual. You just have to try it and see how you respond, If you still progress then keep at it. If progress stalls and you want to see more result, then alter accordingly
