How long have you followed that split? Because:
1) you could swap movements ? A lot of BB work there both for chest & triceps. Maybe stick dips in on one rotation & weighted press ups on the other . They’ll have your hands in a neutral position which will give you an advantageous grip ?
2)if your chest is very developed then you could have one chest focused session. And one delt & tri push focused session ?
I feel the latter would work better but it’s your call 🙂tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

I am with rich here , you made good progress and I’d move on to an upper , lower, full body or just a rotation of upper lower .
Don’t worry about supplements yet, at 22 you are still growing naturally anyway & your body don’t stop maturing till 24.
That being said , you’ve still got a lot of variables to exhaust so I would just get that out of my mind and focus on hard graft, consistency & to absolutely rinse the knowledge you got at your disposal on here…
That’s one thing I wish I had at your age….a forum like this & the company I currently keep .tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

PUSH (CHEST FOCUSED)
Very productive session earlier at Frontline fit.
On the last rotation my grip was too narrow on the B.B incline press, & Jordan even confirmed that when I sent him the video which I always do for second opinion.which put me at an advantage to press more load, but at the expense of accuracy. The goal today was to clean this set up & assume a slightly wider grip this time putting intent on the pec. I managed to do that and add a rep. I am a bodybuilder and not a power lifter , The goal will always be ‘challenge’ muscle as opposed to ‘completion’ of a set.
I Took @primefitnessusa chest press as a secondary movement. Most compound movements won’t challenge the muscle through the full range, mostly hitting lengthened to mid range. This is where the prime machine fits well in that you can load it ensure it challenges the pec in the shortened range (at the top).
All in all a very productive session and very happy with how training is going & Jordan is happy too. Bloods done, just awaiting results. All being well, we will drop the hammer ???? soon. ????
Session was
•barbell incline chest press 5-9,10-12
•prime flat chest press 5-9,10-12
•floor press 5-9,10-12
•pec dec 12-15 , 15-20
•prime machine lateral raise 8-10, 12-15tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Hello guys rest day today. Spent the morning in work & spent the afternoon napping and doing admin.
Also had my bloods done today, so it’ll be interesting to see the results which I’ll share with you guys on here .tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

First you have to question execution as Lara mentioned.
Once that’s up to par.
I feel you could add a second bicep session before leg day as well.
Make sure you vary rep ranges to add intensity between the 2 sessions…straight sets, rest pauses, drop sets and extended sets.tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Hello Kenton, Jimmy has a great suggestion there to prioritise shoulder movements first before chest movements in a push session.
But personally my question would be, what if your chest needs just as much work ? Then your chest lifts would then start to suffer at the expense of shoulders.
So my suggestion would be to split your push sessions into 2.
One chest focused, & one delt & tricep focused .tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

DENSITY & LEGS ????????
First rotation of Conventional deadlifts with eccentric loading. We’ve moved onto thinner plates & I’d forgotten how demanding this lift was. Those eccentrics took my soul with them.????
Moving forward, instead of that dead stop, JP suggests touch and go to be more efficient. Solid productive session nevertheless.

Was meant to hand bloods today but I couldn’t risk having bloods before deadlifts so appointment rearranged for tomorrow.

This looks bang on…the only thing I’d do is separate the squat & y to he deadlift from the same sessions and put them in on different days

I second Clare & Rich here…a split of LOWER/UPPER/FULL BODY would be best beneficial for you my man.

Yes a deadstop would release tension on the extreme range of the rep where you are vulnerable but then again would be a good cue for you to stop and initiate the movement from the target muscle and without any recoil or elastic energy.

First things first..70-80% of the hamstring is made up of fast twitch fibres. These fibres respond well to heavy loads , so make sure you load them maximally first.
Then I’d choose a movement that would take the muscle through the full ROM as the guys above suggested.
Thirdly I would not only have different rotations of movements but I’d also rotate rep ranges too.
Last but not least I’d always finish the session with a loaded stretch.
Then eat, sleep & repeat : )tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |
