177.0 – Rest Day

Solid push session yesterday, feeling like this is the best I’ve looked at this weight too, show dates got released over the last few days also ?

High incline dumbbell and incline barbell today on the menu ? can’t wait to get stuck in

Hey mate, why you change the low incline smith for incline barbell?[/quote]
Smith is terrible at this gym

[ajmorris]

Any more content coming to YouTube or the site?

For sure mate, but most likely when lockdown is lifted for me

Hi Aj! What training split is good for me if my back and biceps are my weak point ? Thx for advance

Hey Leo I would consider giving a rest either side of pull so your focus for these muscle groups is at its highest.

So maybe

Push
Legs
Off
Pull
Off

Hi AJ,
How do you find deadlifting with a stiff bar compared to your average barbell that will whip a little on the initial pull? Which do you prefer ? ?

Hey Luke.

Very hard. I usually use a deadlift bar so it has a lot of whip, which I like, feels more comfortable. Stiff bar the set dies very quick.

175.4 – Rest Day – had some decent pulls yesterday especially considering it was on a completely different bar to what I usually use. Very stiff with zero whip.

Finally got wifi in the house yesterday so a lot less stress there ?

175.8 this morning, hope you’re all ready for the clothing launch & restock today!! 6pm GMT+1!

Pull for me today with Deads.. will be on a stiff bar so will set some new numbers!

Hi Aj,
Do you take veggie might? If so how do you find stomach after and how do you take it if so

Hey Sean,

No I don’t personally at the moment, when I took it previously my stomach was fine 🙂

Hey AJ,

Just curious for your vit d supplementation is that the recommended dosage as per manufacturers instructions?

Cheers

Hey Christopher,

Yes 4000-5000iu seems to be a good spot for vit D in winter months

And what is your opinion of rir? Is it good? Will you use it?

For some trainee’s RIR makes sense as they may enjoy it. For me I cannot fathom entering a set with a ‘RIR Goal’, my set would suck.. I feel like strength is such an important factor in hypertrophy that you will be short selling yourself with RIR set ups. I see a lot of sets online which are ‘1RIR’ and in reality are about 5-6 RIR

Hey AJ, do suggest training to failure for a beginner?

For a first timer, no, you will need to steadily learn where failure is, this takes time, your ‘failure’ will adapt and change as you can train harder and harder. Just be patient, and train progressively harder over time.

Hey AJ – really enjoying following this season! Just curious as to how many warm up sets you usually do and typical %S you use for these and rep schemes, do you log these at all? Thanks for all the great detail!

Hey Jenny 🙂 thanks!

Typically on compounds I will do as many as 3-5 but on isolations usually just one. Never really log them

[ajmorris]

Hey Aj, what´s the purpose of the reishi mushroom? and could you post your new push session?

Relaxation 🙂

My push session today was unchanged since I last logged my split. Same exercises just swapped nautilus shoulder for life fitness

[ajmorris]

Hey buddy!? Thanks for the update!
How come you consume omega 3s on empty stomach. To be honest I am almost sure that they need meal, with fats, for better absorption.

They go with meal one 🙂
