Revisiting thread and adding pictures to ask what you think.
To Oscars point this V Squat has an even resistance profile as the plates move in a straight vertical line.
Its also very heavy. I can normaly do 5 plates on Hack for 12 reps.
What I want is great knee flection which is what I like about the Hack Squat.
If this is not good enough for a replacement I need to find a better gym.
If you lack ankle mobility to have lower feet placement, then I would get a wedge to elevate your heels … that way you’d get more flexion. And also once you get a wedge , you could use pauses to spend more time in that flexed position which really challenges the quads ..

REST DAY
A long day , a full days work done . Tired but content . Very content in fact I can’t afford to complain.
One meal to go then early bed . I am looking forward to tomorrow. I have no work at all .
Check in first thing then I’ll train upper at midday at flex & tone .
Looking forward to that mostly as shoulder feels mint .
Hope everyone has a great weekend. 🙂tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Hey Anthony, IMO it’s a positive thing if you finish a workout and feel full and pumped .. mostly if you’ve also progressed performance..

GLUTES /HAMS
Another superb session this afternoon. One I’m always apprehensive about due to niggles that I am currently carrying .
But today was smooth , the smoothest set & the strongest set at this point. More importantly, pain free. That’s a win . I did post that on instagram.Rest of the session went fantastic too. I always find If the primary compound goes well , it sets up a momentum for the rest of the session as you are positive and full of endorphins.

ADDUCTOR x 2

DELTS & ARMS
Superb session this afternoon. Strength is climbing nicely.. we are closing in on 7pps on the Atlantis shoulder press. Once there that’ll be all time strength, and that’s well within reach .
JM press is coming on well too .. a bit slower though as I’d left I for a while during the period when my elbow was playing up . So we still at 3 plates and a bit … the goal is 4 plates .Rest of the session was smooth as well. Very happy. Things are coming together slowly.

Between low incline smith , incline smith 30 degrees , incline press techno & hammer iso shoulder press to a degree all hit the upper/ clavicular pec . Don’t overthink it too much .
Focus on execution and progressing your lifts across all rep ranges and your chest will grow over time.
Between the clavicle , the sternum, and coastal pecs you can bias one from the other , but ost times there’s a massive crossover with all

That push day is perfect for me .. you can switch the pec dec to start the session, then once you rinse that , throw in the cuffed pec fly . Or alternatively have start one rotation with pec dec and the other with cuffed pec fly maybe 🤔?

REST DAY
Work as usual to start the day , then I had a bed delivery which I’ve been very excited about.
I’ve been sleeping on a double bed which wasn’t too bad but I knew it wasn’t the best so I been saving for a nice super king which came today . The mattress is so good it highlights how shit the one I was sleeping on previously was .
So I am very excited to go to bed tonight. ☺️
When you start getting excited over this sort of stuff, you know you are growing old . 🙂tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

If you still feel fresh and are making progress as you stated above , there’s no reason to devolume or deload . Keep pushing .
However whether you take a Deload or devolume is down to personal preference and what works best for you.
If you devolume then you’d be looking at slashing your full session volume by 50%.for an entire rotation.

QUADS
Productive and successful session this afternoon. Successful because my knees played ball & allowed me to work. That is a win as they are so temperamental. Even took cybex for 5.5pps as a second set.
SESSION
seated hip press x 2
Cybex x 2
Heel elevated Bulgarian squats x 2
Leg extensions x 2
Just on the 2 sets of leg press I accumulated about 38 reps. So let’s we’re blown by the v time vi got to the hack , but more importantly knees were warm allowing me to work on the hack .

21/8 great leg session today, very fatigued afterward however.
swapped out my sldl for a deadstop rdl, much better for biasing the hamstrings
weighing heavier week on week, things are looking good.
food is staying at 3350 for the next month or so, today I ate 81F 365C 225PHey Harry nice to catch up on your log..in the end did you settle for Clare’s advice on
Push , pull , off , legs , rest , push ? [/quote]
Not yet mate. I’m not seeing as many regressions at the moment and my recovery seems to be getting better
