If you do upper lower next week, record one session for us ?

[juan minaya]

Hey JP, when you will start changing your split to upper lower?

[juan minaya]

Very excited that you start Bjj again!!! Keep us posted 🙂

[juan minaya]

Hey Kuba, if you have to choose you prefer the nautilus flat or the gym shop one? Do u will add it to ultra or both are mostly the same?

[juan minaya]

Hey JP, when you will be recording a training video of you for the site? 🙂

[juan minaya]

Hey JP, I saw In one of your push sessions that you did a cable d handle chest press on your prime functional trainer.

You used to have a precor dual cable chest press. Doing that seated cable chest press on the prime it’s almost the same as doing that in the precor machine?

Or the precor overloaded more the short since it’s a fixed cable machine?

Thanks

Gym shop one is better , it’s better than any other I have used , better than Atlantis – it’s a replica of the paramount. Very happy with it

Did you sell the arsenal one? or do you will rotate between the arsenal and gym shop pendulum?

Right so I let my weight drop back to 274 , I am absolutely fucking mashed the last couple days

I had to take a double rest yday , which is very rare for me as usually a devolume will drop fatigue , but the devolume from push and pull did FUCK all because I lifted weights I haven’t ever done in my life and it just crippled me

Today I ran very low volume for legs , but again the fatigue mid session was huge , strength was VERY high .

Since changing over to nandrolone only my lethargy has jumped considerably but so has my strength, so some is the drug , some is the general fuckery of pushing myself so hard these last 6 weeks.

For example , when James came down and we did that upper back prime row , we did 8 plates I got 6 , he got 8 . In this weeks pull session, I did one set before that work , then did 8 and half for 16 reps , that shows just how much strength I have gained in this run , but also why I’m utterly destroyed lol.

Pushing the food to that upper limit kills my insulin sensitivity ( I mentioned this would happen a couple weeks prior to hitting that food limit ) , it did the same again, I can’t get over 800c without my digestion this time telling me to fuck off. Now that is more than enough food , and actually the 277 body weight probably is high enough , but because I now can’t go above it, it would of been better to go upto it much slower , but I really didn’t anticipate hitting a wall like this where digestion won’t let me past , I was confident I could find a work around.

So session today :

Adductor x 12

Standing ham x 17

Seated leg press x 10

Pendulum x 9

Single leg ext x 16 x 12

Single leg raise x 10

Glute drive x 9

Abductor x 20

Bicep curl x 20 x 11

Calf raise x 13

Ab crunch x 18

So basically , I need to come back down more to give my digestion and body a full break , and then basically restart again creeping up much slower , otherwise I can’t make any progress here and all I am is distended.

I will probably go back down to about 260 , so insulin sensitivity , sleep, fitness , all just feels ok – then we will recommence a push knowing I only have 15 pounds max to go up.

I want to get back onto primo , but Will wait on Kubas lab results – he has been a hero and sent off about 10 things for testing , so please make sure you thank him for that, I’m being serious this is a big thing that helps us all and he spent about 1k out of his own pocket because he is a legend

Hey JP, now you have 2 brands of pendulums? How you compared the gymshop one to the arsenal?

[juan minaya]

Hey JP, the color of your Texas deadlift bar it’s black zinc or it’s the black cerakote one?

[juan minaya]

Gd pull session, I was 274 this morn, no point me slowing down the rate of gain as it’s literally just filling back out , my composition isn’t changing at all . Not much else to report

Hey JP, which exercises you did in your pull session?

[juan minaya]

Hey JP, when you will train again with James?

[juan minaya]

Decent work! Adductor is back in the game fully now I would say

Prime adductor x 15 , x 10

Gym shop Standing ham x 9 x 7 x 5

Gym shop Seated leg press x 12 x 10 x 8

Gym shop Squat machine x 15 x 12 x 10 x 8 x 6 ( I had to feel this out , as I needed to be sure I was safe, nothing here was truly working imo )

Prime Single leg ext x 14 x 9 x 8

Glute drive x 7 x 6 x 5

Abductor x 12 x 7 x 6

Lying leg raise x 8 x 7 x 6

Bicep curl x 12 x 8 x 6

60p 40f

60p 30f

30p 50c intra

60p 300c Pwo

60p 130c 10f

60p 250c 30f

Hey JP, how do you rate the gymshop standing leg curl?

[juan minaya]

Good session, everything was there aside from the high incline smith, still just making me work my ass off for progress on it , everything else was handed to me comfortably , as expected with gear kicking in. I felt good warming up so took a double to start on the smith, just literally load exposure there , the more I can do work between 4 and half to 5 plates , the sooner the 4plate for reps will feel comfy and fly

High incline smith x 2 x 18

Dips x 12 x 17

Prime incline x 5 x 5

Dip machine x 9 x 6

Pec dec x 6 x 9

Prime lateral x 13 x 10 x 8 x 7 x 7

Dip machine x 7 x 16

Front machine raise x 13

Abs x 42 x 22 x 15 x 10 x 8

Seated calf x 12 x 10

A few tweaks to that session , no more cuff laterals , just 5 sets on the prime , adjusting the resistance profile as I go

Instead of tricep iso, back on the dip machine again and altered the resistance profile too.

Can see myself adjusting the dip rep ranges next time and the back off set high incline next time , I’m keen for 3 and 12 smith , and then 8 and 12 dips – should leave a little more in the tank to steal a rep on the prime

Hey JP which brand of front machine raise and seated calf you use?

[juan minaya]

Good morning guys

Pull day on cards today

Weight 267.6 – happy for it to hold here as we move up. Sleep was a little off last night as I had some pain in my lower back / glute

Looking forward to getting stuck into it today, so far things are moving forward nicely so just got to keep this momentum going

Will update both sessions later

Hey Kuba. Could you share your new sessions?

[juan minaya]

Hey JP,

COJOS it’s finished? When you will do the full tour?

Thanks
