A very very successful leg session for me . As my leg training frequency has reduced , I added another set on the pendulum which allowed me to vary my rep ranges and work in a top set back off fashion . That being said i jumped up 10kg on the first set . I got 8 reps bit on reflection they were a bit rushed . So plan today was take the same weight 5pps & ensure the changes on direction were spot on . No rushing from the extreme ranges . Matched reps woth 1kg up, Goal achieved it was a good day .
The goal here is not perfection but to always try and squeeze everything from a set before moving up in load .

On paper this looks actually good .. I’d like to see a tricep compound in your upper sessions maybe ? And also on upper A if you do an incline chest press then it might be wise to stick a flat variation after so that you not doing two similar exercises. Then with a third press added to the session , volume wise I’d look to maybe start with :
Incline chest press x 2
Dip variation x 1
Flat press x 1
Single arm lat pulldown 1-2
Chest supported t bar row x 1-2
Pec dec x 2
Lateral raise x 2
Ab crunch x 2Once you are sure you can meet the recovery demands , then you can maybe eek volume up a bit .

Jack have you watched the videos on how to set up PPL in the education section. If not I’d encourage you to that . You’ll get an answer and more

Push was a bloody go this afternoon… all lifts progressed .. on the smith I was so fired almost went from 127.5 to 140kg which would have been 3.5pps per side as the warm ups felt good . But I had to remind myself to stay disciplined and stick to progressing with biscuits.. which I did and matched the last rotation . If I took 3.5pps I would have skewed the progressive runaway ahead .. that’s where you are now forced to compromise quality as you are not ready for that load yet . There’s something about getting what’s yours to soon … it’s never good news ..

I agree with Rich on varying the tricep compounds and running a weighted dip on the other rotation to see how you get on.

PULL
Today was a good day .. very grateful for the gift of life , good health and the ability to go into the gym and move my body the way I desire .
I had a cracking session and I was stronger than the last rotation across all lifts and so for that I am grateful.
One of my goals this rotation is to row 4 plates and I am confident I can achieve it .we are still 30k total away from that goal.tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Hello, I would like to ask how I should structure my training schedule to improve my upper body, especially to develop more 3D shoulders and lats, in preparation for a Men’s Physique pro show in 6 months. I am considering designing my schedule as follows:
Day 1: Chest and shoulders (with a focus on chest), plus 2 light leg exercises
Day 2: Back and biceps, also including 2 leg exercises
Day 3: Shoulders and triceps, combined with glutes and hamstrings
Day 4: Rest day
Day 5: Repeat the cycle, but without additional leg exercises
This sounds good …another alternative is :
Delts and chest
Biceps & Delts
Biceps and triceps
Legs
Back
Chest, back and delts
Biceps and triceps
High frequency, super low volume

Hi, thanks for getting back to me, but with that workout schedule, does it mean I don’t have any rest days for recovery?[/quote]
Well that’s just an alternative…itd be like 4 movements per session.. but yours is an alternative as well , so nothing wrong following thattb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

This looks decent ..have you tried running it yet ?
Hopping into it Monday. I ran something very similar more PPL but had maybe 5 less bicep and 4-6 less quads. Figured throwing the quads and extra hams on certain days would work best[/quote]
Ok run it this week and let’s see how you hold up recovery wise . If the volume is sweet then it’s game on 🚀tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Upper
A bit of work to start the day followed by an upper session . I had interrupted sleep last night which had me questioning my performance today but it was actually a success and I took progress across the session .Posted the session on instagram and I shared this caption here which might be helpful on here too hence sharing it .
These are the variables that matter to me as far as training is concerned.
1. Exercise selection: Am I picking movements that feel good for me? Movements that are challenging enough? A good mix of free weights and machines? Am I considering how movements impact each other in terms of how I have sequenced them?
2. Volume: Am I doing enough work to stimulate growth, or am I doing more than I can recover from? Any less and there’s no stimulus; too much and I can’t recover.
3. Exercise execution: Am I paying attention to setups on different machines and movements? Am I moving the loads with intent, being accurate with changes in direction, taking pauses where applicable, and taking eccentrics where necessary?
4. Proximity to failure: Am I taking my sets all the way there? The majority of the population would benefit from training to failure.
5. Effort: In the final analysis, this is really what matters. Am I applying honest and maximal effort in every rep, every set, and every session? I cannot stress how important this variable is and how most aren’t where they want to be due to a lack of honest, consistent, and progressive effort. We could always apply more effort.

I think you could but volume would have to be minimal to start with at that frequency. Mostly with pressing and any lower back loading

Legs today … a very good session, we added a split squat as frequency is down , that gave us scope to add one more movement. A front foot back foot elevated split squat. Felt a bit rusty but with a few more sessions we can clean it up .
