Nah, I enjoy it. Definitely better than upper body day.

Ant your shoulder question? Arent you just turning it into a circuit? This is where programming comes in, and I can't answer the question without knowing alot about you. I.E. do you need to be balanced, are you hitting all heads of the muscle, are you using it to enhance your bench, do you do sports where one is needed more than the other, previous injures etc etc.
In short, I am inclined to say it doesn't matter, adherence is always the most important factor. But if you get injured, you've programmed it wrong, but that is a kinda specific question. And I hate answering those kind of questions in ignorance.
BB vs DB. Who cares, just try your best on each one. Some people prefer DB some BB. Some are better with DB others with BB. Like bodyfat, seems a totally useless thing to want to know. Focus on the things that matter.
Ty for the input. Much appreciated.

Mine is such a love hate affair. By far my favorite day when I am progressing. A nightmare when I can't break the PB barriers.

Really pi**ed off this morning!! I got up at 7.30 to be at the gym for 8am opening and nobody turned up to open the doors!!
I gave up at 8.45 and I've heard from another member that it still wasn't open at 9.45!! Absolutely disgraceful!!
Unfortunately because it's such a perfect gym for my needs and also only £15 a month I can't see what complaining will achieve. If there was anything even nearly as good locally I'd leave and encourage others to do the same.
Anyway that's my little rant for the morning.

The reason for the Sunday session was because I missed Thursday. I had physio on Wednesday and I was really sore afterwards so thought it best to give it a miss. I'm still not fully over my cold either so an extra few days seemed a good idea.
My press ups have been set back a little bit as well but it's obviously too soon to panic about that. I managed a session last night and got 118 out over the 5 sets which is my best so far so I'm happy with the progress. I'm going to stick to the 5 sets and hopefully get up to sets of 40 or so. If I can do this 3 times a week by April then I'll catch up easily enough and get to the 25k.

I love legs day. Unfortunately I only have about 45 minutes to train and it isn't quite long enough to get in a proper session.

That would infuriate me so much. But I guess if it is a one off I could let it go. Plus if it has the equipment you like to you are tied in. Our gym has been refurbed and the new stuff is just so much worse.

I'm ready for a change of gym, i get half price membership at virgin but they closed their bradford gym & now the one i go to in leeds is packed, its even worse with the january new joiners. Pool was out of action with the flooding in kirkstall. Not sure if to join one of the "pure" gyms as i really do like the pool & sauna etc, just the gym where i am now is packed all the time.
any leeds gym people make any recommendations, probably prefer one outside of the city centre.

Lots of reps too, what is the plan there? Go from a similar rep scheme as above?

Yeah I wouldn't want to be doing any less than 4 really. I definitely won't be testing 1RM as I train on my own so it's not exactly safe.
The target will always be 6 to 8 and if I start finding 100kg too easy then I'll up it to 105kg. Progress has been ridiculous with bench over the last few weeks so I wouldn't be surprised to hit 105kg reasonably soon. Maybe this is my year to finally become a decent bench presser??

1.5x BW is where I would like to be, but I haven't trained bench for like six months. All over the DBs at the minute, and M.P. I am expecting a nice little bump when I go back to bench as my M.P. is probably 7-10kg stronger than it was when I was benching.
Hunger levels are HIIIIGH today, first time in 6 weeks so I can't complain.

Hmmmm...... That'd be about 150kg for me then so some way to go and more than my PB from way back. As much as I'd love to I really doubt I'll go above 120kg unless I get a training partner and have a go at 1RM.
Think I'm going to stick to bench 'til the end of Jan and then give dumbbells a blast just to mix it up a touch. Obviously I always want to hit the 50s so maybe with this new found spurt of strength I might have a chance.

yeah would be 150 for me too, although i intend to be a lot light this year, still obv want a 150 at some point.
On my last week og this current plan..
OHP
1x3 70kg
1x3 72.5kg
1x2 75kg
Pretty happy with that, i had a huge mental block at 60 a few month ago, and 5x5 60kg was last week and felt crazy easy. So gonna push for 5x5 65kg which is where i started the 3x3 from. (that would mean it would be 'to plan')
Squats tomorrow, definitely want to try a set at 140 for three. But very dependant on how I wake up and hopefully if one of my training partners are there. OHP gets my lower back, so if its too stiff may have to re think.
Next lot of training starts in two weeks, same exercises just 5x5 as the main strength and moving into sets of 8 afterwards.
Really happy with how its going and so chuffed I can progress properly (i.e. every week has been tough) on a kcal deficit. So loving life from a lifting point of view. And checked a new place to move into work wise too. So life is good. Almost certainly helps with the lifting side when you have momentum.
Matt gonna come up to notts next month on a Saturday/Sunday to train with Sean if you are interested?
