79kg then and now. About 9-10months difference between these shots. As a natty and training a long time I don’t expect huge differences year on year but it’s good to see I had a productive push up phase🫡.

Great celebrations however it’s completely corrupt that they voted to not continue the season whilst in 8th to sneak into the playoffs. Tranmere were relegated whilst being the in-form team in the league without a chance to fight for survival.

Recent studies favouring muscle growth in the lengthened range has given me an excuse to bring DB Flyes back in. Prior to pressing, keeping in the lengthened range for tension on the chest, then I’ll move into some partial presses to get some sets in that 25-30rep range. 🤝

Moving my training to 5:30-6am before work was a game changer. Means you go into work already charged up and get all your evenings back. Let’s face it even if you don’t train the morning you waste a lot of time getting ready - put it to use!

260kgx4 for stiff legs at 83kg. Held this lift through my cut. 300kg still the aim this offseason and edging ever closer. Best was 290kg at 89kg last push up. If I can hit that again at ~85kg, 300+ will be a certainty when I get back to 89-90kg.

Actually may hinder cutting Your body has adapted to exercise movement patterns in the bulk allowing you to retain strength in those movements when you cut. New exercises ➡️ new movmenent patterns ➡️ new adaptions ➡️ less intensity ➡️ slower fat loss

There is no reason or benefit to changing your training style when cutting There are 0 training methods that will secretly just burn fat Going from normal, moderate-heavy weight to a bunch of high rep stuff won’t do anything The training that put the muscle on keeps the muscle
