DELTS & TRIS
Hello team…delts and arms today .I altered my grip on the incline press on the smith incline press from a full grip to a suicide grip & lost one rep. Don’t know why I did it & did not keep everything standardised..
Very frustrating, but these are the traps we fall into trying to look to make things easier. And they come at a cost . I know better , but did not do better …a gulf sometimes I never get to cross .
Lesson learnt , must do better next time. Rest of the session went quite well.
Tomorrow we pull . 🙂

Tired today! Sleep was iffy, I have no issue getting to sleep , but when I wake for the toilet, im struggling to get back to sleep , which is unlike me as I’m usually fucked. im annoyingly running through business scenarios in my mind thinking , ok this needs to go like this and that needs to go like that, managed eventually to stop and fall asleep , just mentally it’s so much juggling atm and knowing that I need to make as little errors as poss
The Cheltenham gym will be this year, our in house manufacturing will then be jan and then the next gym mid next year, so I need to balance cash flow perfectly to make it all happen, while expanding the supps range which also means the need for constant cash flow management- it’s all doable on these time frames , but just leaves me little room for unseen expenses throughout. I do enjoy this part of things the most as it’s stepping again into entirely new areas of business to operate in , I want us to have 5-6 gyms solidified quickly as then we can then market the whole brand with even more cost efficient margins from a wholesale perspective to get deeper into spots in the world that we are not reaching ( the spots that ONLY buy and sell on margins ) , this is why companies like sci tech and bio tech are so popular , they manufacture in house , in Hungary where labour is crazy cheap , there are less legislations , so it’s hard to compete with them when your selling to some random gym in the middle of no where , but it is doable with pricing that gets close , a legit product and better ( MORE ) marketing. ( however some will still ONLY buy based on the cheapest , which we will never win over and that’s fine, I don’t ever want to be in the cheapest / most dogs shit supp battle )
The gyms allow us to create a bigger shop window effect of the eyes on the brand being ever increasing , more content , more tags etc etc – so the gyms serve as a tremendous marketing tactic ( as well as a revenue stream in of themselves)
So that’s where my head is at atm when I wake in the night , thinking , I can see how we get to the next stage of all this, and I think we can do it, I just know we can’t fuck up . Plus I don’t get business help, I don’t want business help, I like to work everything out myself and let Corinne be the sensible side of me that will go, I dunno Jord double think that one , it sounds a bit off
I don’t know if talking about the business plans is useful for anyone , but if it’s anything , I hope it reassures you that if you just go for it and try not to be afraid , you can potentially do something cool , like I’m really trying my best to do, and then if things do cock up, provided you haven’t ever fucked anyone over, things will always be sweet anyways and you just have a crack at something else . I always think, imagine how mad it must of been when real top companies started to scale and how ballsy they would of had to be to give things moving forward
It shall be well… it’s always been .. ❤️❤️❤️

Domingo thank you for sending the pics to my email, I tried sharing them on here so that other athletes would have input but it hasn’t allowed me.
I’ve give you my opinions anyway . All the best and keep us posted on how you get on .tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

QUADS
Hello team , good session this afternoon..6 plates and a 15kg for 5 reps .. a set I was very happy with . Controlled and all .
I did feel my knee twinge on the back off set though , so I just stopped .. I cannot be bothered with getting injured again . So I moved to the hip press & took 3 sets , one of 8 , one of 5 & one of 15 reps . No dropset for me today as I did not feel safe . I’ll drop them now as I am doing more cardio and steps .
Hopefully it’s nothing serious and tomorrow we are back on track . 🤞🏿

Anything where you are bending horizontally to the floor holding a load , will always challenge your erectors . So that being said both will load the erectors. The rdl a touch more even though it does fry hamstrings and then glutes
Would doing a set of each on my density day be a good option as I enjoy both and wanna get the best bang for my buck. I always have a barbell row programmed in after [/quote]
My advice is pick one hinge movement , run it till you can’t progress anymore, then swap it for the next . Rinse and repeat 🔁.Jordan would start me from the floor , so say a conventional deadlift, once I couldn’t progress we’d go to RDL, rinse again and that would then lead to a BB row , then back to the floor and vice versa .
Danger of running multiple hinge movements is you’ll struggle to recover eventually as you get stronger .
More is not more , less is more . Pick one movement and get ridiculously good at it .
Quality not quantity

Hi Cooper
In your other thread you stated that you are able to brace your lumbar with bent knees – is this correct?
If so I would advise you use a conventional deadlift as your primary pull from the floor. I would also recommend using a 45deg back extension bench to allow your body to learn how to differentiate between hip and lumbar flexion. This is what I have used with many athletes in your situation who struggle with lumbar control. No additional load, just bodyweight
Do you think it’s best to pull conventional then with as minimal leg drive as possible? No sunk hips just having a fixed position to pull from? Just with more bend in the knees?[/quote]
I think Adam’s point is for you to use a conventional deadlift just as a start of a hinge pattern to practice bracing . And in time once you learn the skill you’ll be able to crossover into the SLDL and be able to flex from the lumbar .tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Excellent session this afternoon at HQ … things are getting very heavy & it’s time to tighten up & make sure form doesn’t slip.
For today I was happy with all movements ..but the bent over row needs a tidy ..we’ll do better next week.Very tired today & looking forward to rest day tomorrow 🙂

Try it at the start of your pull day with rest on either side of it
I wouldn’t ever run RDL late in session would always be up at the start somewhere
And drop the volume at the end of the leg session?[/quote]
I’d keep volume same on legs to start as you have two sleeps before pull . Then asses recovery and then adjust from there . 🙂tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |
