John west beats me to it, all your first more moves hit your pec direct or indirectly, so the question of adding another movement doesn’t have legs at this particular point.
Log book might be moving but raw strength without intent doesn’t equal to muscle which brings us to execution which you haven’t mentioned.
You have to be able to move that load with intent first before adding load.
I’d be happy for you to send me your videos on IG DM & let’s start from there.
But In a single set apart from being well aligned and set up on the machine you are using, execution/intensity/ effort have to all be present and co exist as these are his principles and foundations of Hypertrophy.
So don’t solely rely on numbers only.. I’ve seen people bench 3 plates a side , but with undeveloped chests and massive anterior delts and triceps .by execution and moving the load with intent u mean slow eccentric part of the movement?[/quote]
By execution, I mean making sure you set up right on the bench so the barbell is aligned optimally for you to be able to elicit maximal output from the pec.
And as you say, you have to focus on your eccentrics, because it’s during that portion of the lift you’ll get maximal muscle damage.
Once you get to the bottom of the lift also make sure you are not bouncing from the bottom using elastic energy but imitating from your pec.
Both the above ticked, now take that set to failuretb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Much needed after 2 days of consecutive training . But spent planning for tomorrow’s training. Density day .. The mental prep begins a day earlier …visualisation… thoughts become things_________________________________________

Love this mentality mate! I agree completely. I’m resting tomorrow but will be visualising getting those 30s overhead for some solid sets again on Thursday! Were you happy with your recent check in Oscar? You’re looking thick and full!

Exactly Ross, preparation is mostly what will separate us… visualisation is so powerful and mostly isn’t tapped .
Most people show up in the gym and that’s when they think of the lift when it’s right in front of them .
At that point it’s too late , mostly if you are at or approaching your strength ceiling. The battle is neck up as opposed to neck down .
So you run the lift in your head and since the load is heavy that’s not news, so we don’t focus on that. What we focus on is for example yourself pressing 30’s overhead.
Let’s start feet up ….are your legs in the best position to keep you stable? Can you use counterforce? Meaning when the dumbell is at the bottom where you are the weakest can you drive your feet into the floor as if you were pushing a leg press at the bottom and your life depended on it?
And because the body works in synergy, have you braced (not breathing) but inhaling a deep breath through your nose into your stomach so your spine is stable & protected?
Have you taken enough warm up sets?
Is that tune that triggers you emotionally ready ?
Are you well dehydrated today going into bed?
Have you eaten all your meals?
Then getting to bed early?
The devil really is in the detail, so tick this boxes and chances are those dumbells will move tomorrow.
Please keep me updated after tomorrow’s session:)_________________________________________

Shit Oscar, you almost had me going to pick up the 30s now haha! I feel like this comment alongside the visualisation of the weights flying up will be what powers me through!
If people aren’t imagining or really trying to see themselves lifting the weight then I don’t imagine the reps will be good and there won’t be the same sort of connection if that makes sense??
Unfortunately I am on nightshift tonight and tomorrow night but will be ensure I rest a lot tomorrow to prepare for the lifts on Thursday! I’ll fully take into account the questions you’ve listed also, they got my pumped just reading them haha!
If you’re able to get a peek at my log on Thursday I’ll update it after I’ve lifted, I’ll be sure to keep you updated
I’d definitely say your weight is looking very very respectable! You’ve worked hard for it so should be proud man! Looks like leg day went well also_________________________________________

I’m even more pumped up for you Ross..now let’s focus on the variables you can control & nail them .
The night shift you can’t but trust me, tick all the other boxes and I put money they will move.
Also self belief is big, don’t be arrogant, but be confident in your capabilities. Remind yourself who you are and how resilient you are.
Tag me on your log on Thursday please when you update it.
And if you post it on insta, tag me too ..
my money is on you , I’m expecting nothing but a win ????_________________________________________

Got it Oscar mate, I’ll be sure to work on getting the variables down and move into the workout with the self belief and your motivation behind me!

6 plate deadlift today as promised for 4 reps , with a back off set of 5 plates for 8 reps .
Even though Absolutely fucked! I am very very happy .
Where do we go from here ? I’ll stay on that load and bully it to the 6+ rep range. That’ll take time & plus I’ll be on cruise so it’ll be a challenge which I’m up for.

Rich hits an important point here . ‘Standardisation’ that’s what’s most important.
You taking a 30 sec rest or doing them in succession isn’t as important as you standardising that rest or no rest .
Adapt this approach with your execution too. Standardise everything so when you make progressions they are legit .
Plus if you do unilateral rows for example you’ll find it easier to go from one limb to the other.
It’s when you do lunge variations that you’ll be really challenged as both limbs are always working even though the movement is unilateral.tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Hey guys so today is the end of 2 days training, pulling yesterday & concluding with delts and tris today.
Both great workouts to be honest .
I checked in yesterday, so I’ll share those photos below.
Last day of my cycle today . So 8 weeks cruise this week onwards.
We had a goal to finish this push at 107kg , and we got that. But more importantly Jordan is happy with composition and how the 107kg looks on me.
So the next 8 weeks it’s really a case of fighting tooth and nail to hold onto every ounce of this tissue.tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Ah not a coincidence maybe like minds ???? lol … yes things are going well thank you , And sometimes it’s almost abnormal to write good session on a daily basis , but the silver lining of the current situation is not only is my recovery the best it’s been , but stress is also never to nil . That’s allowed for performance to just improve. And I’ll take advantage of it as much as I can .
As for yourself you gotta think, when the lockdown is lifted not only will your joints and your nervous system be fresh and thank you, but you’ll be like a lion that’s been uncaged. You’ll train soo hard and with a lot of intensity your body will just bloom . Keep doing what you are doing…it’s a great job . If you need any help just ask ????_________________________________________

Haha, i like the way you think! Great to hear that things are going well for you also. I know what you mean about constantly updating your log book with nothing but good numbers but it’s definitely something to be proud of! I take my hat off to you for your progress and for getting rid of all stress, that really is amazing!
Yes that is a good way to look at it Oscar, I’m excited for that! Really hope to step on stage in the future and set a goal to try and smash through! I’ll be sure to get in touch when I need some help!_________________________________________

Everything in life is perspective. We have a choice in every situation & I always believe a mans character is defined by his response (attitude) in a certain set of circumstances.
I read your log, and I felt the positivity and the fact that you are cracking on and enjoying your workout.
Even the fact you’ve called it lockdown living room lifting is positive and you’ve accepted the situation for what it is.
Good attitude. Once we are back in business sure you’ll crack on and defo step on stage in the future.
You are in very good company here and very well cared for . 🙂tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |
