Learnt something today...doing an A/B format and getting to the final workouts are tricky to manage recovery. As you can probably take from that opening sentence today was really tough. Maybe down to the last workout been so close to failure on first sets or Haven't really been sleeping well...

Great lifting. Those push presses are very impressive. Good front squatting too. I'm hoping I can get near that weight at end of cycle. Do you hold the bar Olympic style or arms crossed?

That deadlift is improving nicely. Strong as. Good effort with the benching also. Great progress. Keep lifting hard. You using straps for those deads? I'm struggling already with grip strength and nowhere near that weight.

Cheers lads. Did my 10 and then did an incline press set. Rested for a good 3 minutes as that 10 was hard. Then broke the rest into smaller chunks with a 30 to 40 second rest between mini sets until I got to 25 reps trying to make sure I didn't hit complete failure and just until rep speed...

First day back to work for 2 weeks today. Trained before work so had to be there at 6am to get finished. Trained fasted apart from pre workout and bcaa mix. I really do feel stronger and better fasted so I'm going to do this whatever I read on the matter. Lol. Anyway... Squats 120kg -...

Cheers jester. I will try adding a couple of box squats sets and do only one working set of back squats to try and bring quads up. I'll keep the front squats in too. I definitely have a squatters bum lol. All in glutes and hams as you say.

Another one under my belt. Front squat 90kg 10+5+5+4+2+2 (the final 2 doubles were paused ass on calves for 5 seconds each rep before powering up) really felt all muscles working together Decline press 90kg 10+6+5+4 (every rep paused on chest. I need squat more than I can press. That's poor...

Training done and dusted by 8am this morning. Took a little longer than anticipated as I trained with a friend of mine. Sipped my bcaa and karbolyn mix towards the end of the workout. Squat 115kg 10+5+4+4+2 (stopped at 25 reps) followed this with leg extensions 57kg x15 Incline press 36kg...

Was thinking earlier. Usual hst follows progressive overload and ramping up intensity towards the end of different blocks within a full cycle. When the intensity is lower at the beginning of each block you wouldn't need the same calories as at the end when intensity is higher to repair and...

Been in London so had a few days off from training. Workout was good today although felt the effects of late nights and rubbish nutrition. Hit all my numbers however so quite pleased. Front squat - 85kg - 10+5+5+5+5 sissy squat x15 Decline bench 80kg - 10+8+7 flyes stretch 3 X 20 seconds...

Well that was a surprisingly tough workout. Didn't see it coming. Although been doing some hiit cardio on off days for last week. It's probably caught up with me. I'll knock it on head and do some liss cardio. Squats 110kg - 10 +5 +5 +5 +5 (as long as hit first set of target rep range I cluster...

Blimey. 3 biscuits a side. I got some work to do. Lol.

Early morning workout again. This time had some whey, bcaa and banana before hand. Front squat 82.5 - 10+7+6+5+4+3 (35reps total). Followed by 10 slow sissy squats. Stayed away from failure on every set. The last 3 sets all but down to heels and paused for second. Felt very smooth. Decline...

When I say easy i mean it's relative to what is very difficult. Not a breeze in the park. Lol

Moved into 10s today. Very good workout. Everything felt smooth. Think the increase of frequency has helped so much. Squat 105kg 10+10+6+4 (50kg leg extension after for 12 slow reps) Incline dbell press 34kg 10+8+7 stopped short of failure each set. (will do same weight again but aim for 30...
