Remember to mix up your routine for maximal muscle confusion.


I was thinking

M: Push ups
T: Push ups and some pullups
W: Rest
T: Gymnastic stuff
F: Press ups

S: Rest cause can't let the whey toxicity levels get too high
S: Tanning as until I can do planches I'm *insert insult here*

What do you think? Enough confusion or will it not build my strength

I was lifting at 8:45 this morning, so dehydration contributed to the fail as well.

Close grip was terrible, biceps were tight bizzarely from OHP and cable row which slowed my lock out, couldn't believe it when I was pinned though :tongue:

Had a small fish and chips for lunch from the canteen, only thing that was vaguely appetising. Not used to eating during the day, I don't normally eat until 5pm!
yay you're lifting again
Posterior chain destroyed. Trap and back DOMS like I've not had in a long time

Routine is now

A - OHP 3 x 8->12
Cable row one or two handed 2-3 x 10+ or one handed lat pulldown
CGBP 2-3 x 8+
Deadlifts 1 x 6+
1 x 2+ at 5kg heavier than previous set
Heavy core work, ab roller or farmers
Curls 3 x 8+
Reverse fly or facepull 2-3 x 8+

B- Bench 3 x 8-12
Pendlay row 3 x 6+
OHP -10%
Row accessory 2 x 10+
Abs and curlz depending

On a small calorie deficit and fasting, so will be interesting what I can gain/ maintain

If I get a chance, I'll upload a photo today or tomorrow

Liking the new plan, is their a reason you're not squatting? May have missed that post. Injury?

This time last year I had severe back pain from squatting. Got diagnosed with tearing a couple of vertebrae when I was younger. So no squatting ever again.

Also tore my medial meniscus in March last year. Had surgery in November, I now have a specialist appointment next month as I have autoimmune disease of the cartilage.

That's very unlucky!, I admire you for carrying on lifting though! Gains are incoming.
Cucumber the bro. Love it.

Of the last 12 months, I've not lifted for nearly half of that, training is intermiddent

Hopefully when I get some meds for my knee, I'll be able to kick on and make some progress
