193 – Rest Day

Fantastic push yesterday got 50×7 and 42×13 high incline, at my strongest ever now 🙂

Feeling like I’m actually getting leaner at this weight now , 5 weeks until prep starts 🙂

192.6 – Push Day

Slight change of schedule as I’ve got to shift a few things round for the next few weeks, so it’s Push today , feel well recovered from last session but also recovered from legs systemically enough to take a good one today!

Just doing my 20 mins CV and then a busy morning of check ins!

Muy fantastico pull session ? see image for session!

Loving this pictures of your training directly from your logbook mate, you should do it with every session!
Which it’s your current diet?[/quote]
No changes since the last update really mate 🙂 I keep gaining weight on that food

193.4 – Leg day

Got a productive rest day yesterday and managed to have time to totally switch off from around 5:30 which is very early for me but I do a lot less total work on weekends to allow some time to reflect on the week but also to keep my mind from being 24/7 in coaching mode which is unhealthy in the long run

Watched moneyball and another episode of drive to survive , which is a wicked series for anyone who follows F1 (Motorsport is my side passion ?)

Legs today, hacks & leg presses as per , feeling ready to get after it

192.2 – Rest day

Great session yesterday & a quality sleep last night, feeling sore this week due to the return to normal volume and with slightly different movement patterns it’s beaten me up a touch!

However, ready to get a productive work day done today 🙂

193.4 – Pull
Very good push session but that night of sleep made it harder than it should of been. I’m at a point now where I simply cannot let a variable slip, if one day gets effected I tend to feel the effects immediately and have to battle to turn it into a positive session.
For those reading this, it’s important to understand that very few will be PERFECT 365 days of the year because of how many variables we cannot control
However, when the cards are placed in your favour, be honest with yourself… are you doing the required work?
Today is pull with BOR, very ready to attack after a much better sleep ?

Most will make excuses and think it’s ok as it’s offseason, they are the ones that generally don’t understand what it takes to make the kind of progress you do and you need to make. [/quote]
Nailed it ? made those excuses in the past myself as you know , no time for that ❌

Routine and structure are two of the most integral elements within Bodybuilding.

I truly do believe for best results you do need to be very meticulous. I’ve been flexible in the past for reference and seen poorer results.

However including variety within a set structure and consistency is more than fine imo 🙂 especially in off season.

Looking fantastic mate – keep pushing on!

195 lbs – Push

Feel a bit beaten up after a poorer night of sleep. Just ate too late so I know the issue! But definitely ready to get after push today, low incline DB on the cards 🙂

Adductor x20 x8.5

Lying Curl Rest Pause x15 5 deep breaths x6
Bulgarian Split Squat (DB) x16 with 50s

Is that split squat with a single dumbbell and if so which arm would you hold it in depending on which leg was forward. If not, 2 x 50lb db’s x 16 reps in nuts strong [/quote]
Hey buddy, that’s dual dumbbell, and it’s 50kgs , not 50lbs 🙂 it’s a strong move for me
