If you have the time, you could always use the push-ups after bench or db bench as method of getting more work on those days and then utilizing an extra bench variant to target what you feel is a...

Nice job on the rep PR. The adjustment in the rep range should definitely help.

Pushing 5-7 reps close to failure weekly can be really tough.

The angle isn’t the greatest, but based on where you got stuck on the ascent I’d assume you probably just hit depth.

Otherwise I doubt there would’ve been that pretty distinct sticking point just...

Hypertrophy training is about consistent effort over many years.

So do whatever you have the most fun with and will stick to.

I ebb and flow through a variety of methods but generally stick to...

Oh fantastic. A good chiro is worth their weight in gold.

Waiting for insurance to extend my coverage so I can get back in for more treatment from my car accident last year.

Hopefully you can heal up soon.

If you can find a solid chiro who also will do extra soft tissue work and not just crack you, you’ll probably see some great benefits.

Nice job Ego. Nothin but a peanut lol.

Also cable chest press is one of my favourite exercises these days too.

SJT I think some of it is me just rebounding after my Covid layoff.

My legs...

Did some fuk around workouts for a couple days then took a few days off to visit my parents.

Todays workout order is a bit weird but gym was busy so made it work.

Trying to balance strength +...

465 looked pretty easy so I’m sure you’ve got it.


There’s been enough shown that the interference effect is pretty negligible.

Strength definitely makes conditioning easier.

And...

Yeah pretty much.

Once you hit certain strength thresholds they generally just stick around for the most part so your everyday max creeps up over time.

I started biking more again and I’ve...

Taking a couple weeks away every so often can really help recharge the batteries and set you up for some really good long term gains.

Awesome job Eli. Crushing it

You should strive for performance gains.

There’s no reason you can’t add some reps and a little bit of weight over the mesocycle.

Your mesocycle will depend on your recovery abilities.

But...

Hopefully you feel better soon.

I’ve been sick off and on for the last month now it seems and it’s made training rough lol.

That’s pretty solid all things considered.

I ebb everywhere from 1x legs to 3 depending how much I hate myself lol.

Nice job Eli.

Sleep can’t affect training pretty different depending on the lift I think.

You’re probably just masking some fitness with fatigue right now, and it’s tough to get everything...

Yeah as others have said you can do what you want.

PHAT is just a pretty tough program and running it with lower volume while you see how you react gives you wiggle room.

Doing more volume...

I haven’t heard that specific term but I’ve seen people discuss it.

I know mike Israetel will do it and others.

Makes sense though so I’m sure you’ll see some solid results.

Great work and nice job with the cut.

As CW said there’s nothing wrong with venturing away then coming back to what you enjoy and feel works best for you.

I venture off program so often my...
