These are decent cooper .. just standardise them and not take too much of a break between reps .. other than that they are good .

When should I breathe? Only reason I stop is to catch my breath and then brace and hit the next rep. I tighten my core before I lift and I feel as I can’t take a breath, any tips? [/quote]
I tend to breathe at the bottom to help with my brace & exhale as I get to the top .
The issue is not with you pausing to breathe , it’s how long you are taking between reps to breathe .
This load is going to get heavier at some point, & it’s only going to be more challenging, chances are your pauses will get longer as a result . As a result the set will turn go from a straight set to a rest pause .
If fitness is an issue , work on it & that’ll allow you to recover better between sets and reps.

PULL/ HAMS
I did not expect to train today based on how I was feeling last night .

But alas here we are … decent session . Was meant to adjust volume, but then it just felt right as I did the session so here we are .. massive back pump as well . So very happy.
I know I am not fully out of the woods , so it’s more vitamin overdose and early night for me .

Tomorrow is a rest day so that’s fallen well for me and will go a long way 🙂

Seems like your upper back is still not strong enough.
What I’d do in this scenario is reduce the weight and start again but slowly progressing .
Also maybe I’d address my programming so I have enough upper back chest supported movements to build up upper back strength and musculature maybe?

Along with what the ladies of TBJP have mentioned above , if your heels are already elevated, make sure you break at the knees first , as opposed to breaking at the hip .
This will allow you to just keep driving the knees forward on your eccentric portion and as a result achieve maximum knee flexion….which will result into quad bias . 🙂

DELTS & ARMS

Today is the first day I bombed my smith incline press top set.
So I took 145kg for 6 reps last week & was looking for a 7th rep today . But literally failed at 3. Warm ups didn’t feel any different, so there wasn’t an indication of any sort of fatigue prior which made it quite a shock .

It’s not only till after the session I felt a bit run down and under them weather that I realise I might be coming down with something. So early bed it is for me and see what tomorrow has to offer. 🙂

Hello Jack , the pics haven’t attached … but if he’s struggling with adherence now , chances are its only going to get worse the harder you push him . So perhaps there’s a conversation to be had about addressing these issues first and the importance of having time on your side when dieting. 🙂

Evening team ,
Had to train earlier today as I was going to Nottingham with a client for a photo shoot.
Session went extremely well. Better than I thought as I was training earlier than normal and with less food than I always have.

But session was excellent. I posted some sets from pendulum which I am very happy with.

First Monday of this month, I took 100kg for 7 reps, been adding 1.25kg every week since , sometimes loosing one rep. Last Monday of the month and I am 5kg up for 7 reps with standardised execution. This small jumps in load will always compound over time so the name of the game is patience . 🙂

Hello César,

1) what I would do instead of getting rid of an upper back movement is maybe do 1 set of a deadlift to start with and leave everything else as is. Then asses how recovery is. If it’s too much , adjust . My preference in terms of sequence is :

Deadlift

Lat vertical row

Chest supported t bar

Horizontal lat row

Rear delts

Upper back pull-down
