    That’s roughly true with my clients, although most of my lads prefer bench press. I like overhead because it brings out the best in me, explosive power through the legs and posterior chain, strong triceps to finish at the top. It’s a great little combo, pick 80-85% 1RM, so the three strict should be somewhat challenging then finish strong with the push press to overload the triceps at the lockout 💪

    DATE: 6th January 2021 SESSION: Week 8 Day 2 CALORIES: 2855kcals SESSION: Flat back bench press (no leg drive) 3x10@60kg Overhead Press/Push Press 3x3/3@65kg FEELINGS: I think pressing overhead is my favourite movement. Today I do some overload work by doing 3 strict press into 3 push press. This meant that my triceps got worked super hard as I’d likely struggle with 6 strict for 3 sets but instead I did a little leg drive to get all 18 reps in. Energy was low today after a blistering row with the wife about money (always). However, got my main movers in and got out. IMG_0606.MP4

    WE NEED MORE WEIGHTS! More weights, more dates! More Row, more hoes! More bench, more hench......you see where I'm going with this right? 🙂

    DATE: 4th January 2021 SESSION: Week 8 Day 1 CALORIES: 2864 SESSION: Deadlift 3x5@170kg Box Squats 8x2@65kg+44kg Chains FEELINGS: Today is the start of my body recomposition, I’ve had a great time stuffing my face over the winter but it’s to trim for the new year. I will do a post about body recomp as there is a lot of miss information out there. Happy new lockdown! IMG_0586.MP4

    I found this space so useful to track my training. Spreadsheets are fun and all that but there’s nothing quite like some words and feelings!

    Yes!!! Get it girl! We want pics and videos every session. I’m going to follow this to make sure I keep up with your progress 👌

    DATE: 2nd January 2021 SESSION: Week 7 Day 4 CALORIES: ???? SESSION: Deadlift 1x3@190kg 3 Second Paused Bench Press 4x6@95kg FEELINGS: Today’s session took so long because I made the mistake of selling my dumbbells on Facebook....right before I started. Hundreds of messages....silly idea! I’ve done some upgrades and bought myself some new adjustable dumbbells from a friends company to save a lot of space and rust! And I bought a new competition bench to replace this adjustable one I have as I keep slipping off of it, being wide is dumb. Hopefully they arrive sooner rather than later. Bench went good, love a good pause! IMG_0554.MP4

    DATE: 31st December 2020 SESSION: Week 7 Day 3 CALORIES: ???? SESSION: Squats 4x6@140kg Spotto Press 3x8@60kg FEELINGS: On paper this workout looked simple enough but it completely kicked my arse! The squats were good but that’s a lot of squat volume in one week, lest we forget on Monday we did a top set of 160kgx3 and back off sets of 2x2@150kg. I have certainly worked my quads this week. Spotto press is a lovely variation of bench press and forces me to slow down and control my press. I’ve actually bought a new bench this week because my current one is so narrow I keep falling off! I forgot to video but I did get a cute picture of Maddison in the gym with me 👌

    DATE: 30th December 2020 SESSION: Week 7 Day 2 CALORIES: ???? SESSION: 3 Second Pause Deadlift 4x2@160kg Bench Press 1x3@115kg Bench Press 2x4@100kg FEELINGS: I fucking hate paused deadlifts. The amount of pressure that surges to the face is unreal in those 3 seconds. I’m surprised I’ve not burst any blood cells this training cycle. But we got them going. Bench feeling super good, I put my powerlifting singlet on today. In the words of Flanders - feels like I’m wearing nothing at all! Got some Sous Vide steak cooking whilst I train. Life is fucking good! Also, weighted pull ups with 12kg of chains is tough! IMG_0499.MP4 IMG_0500.MP4

    DATE: 28th December 2020 SESSION: Week 7 Day 1 CALORIES: ???? SESSION: Squat 1x3@160kg Squat 2x2@150kg Overhead press 4x8@55kg FEELINGS: I was going to train Boxing Day for my 4th session last week but to be honest the indigestion was real. 🤣 Today I hit a triple with the same weight I did as a single last week and they were smooth as butter. This boy is getting strong! 4 more weeks on this cycle of training and then some testing. I’m going to do a separate post about my goals for next year 💪 IMG_0463.MP4

    DATE: 24th December 2020 SESSION: Week 6 Day 3 CALORIES: ???? SESSION: Squat 1x1@160kg Squat 2x7@130kg FEELINGS: We multitasked like a champ today, hitting some singles on squats and smoking my Xmas gammon on the kamodo. Squats moved lovely today and hitting 160kg for a nice smooth single was a good bench mark. I don’t know if I will ever get back to the 200kg club but to be honest being pain free in my knee is the priority right now and today was exactly that. I normally like to train on Xmas day as a bit of a tradition but with Maddison it’s not going to happen so slipped my squats in today. Merry Xmas all! IMG_0318.MP4

    DATE: 22nd December 2020 SESSION: Week 6 Day 2 CALORIES: ???? SESSION: Bench Press 2x7@95kg Overhead Press 3x4@65kg FEELINGS: A really solid session today, got a great pump too from the accessory work. Using some different pre-workout supplements this month and it’s nice to get something different in the veins to see how they impact the session. Bench moved well but had some slight pain/uncomfortable feeling in my shoulder socket. Hopefully just some fatigue build up. Overhead press flew up, glad to be moving some good weight again.

    DATE: 21st December 2020 SESSION: Week 6 Day 1 CALORIES: 3100kcal SESSION: Deadlift 3x4@170kg Box squat 4x4@65kg + 44kg chains FEELINGS: Life gets in the way guys. Covid. Work. Baby. Xmas. It gets in the way. But. We. Go. Again. Week 6 day 1 we are back in with some deadlifts and box squats. Feel good, strong and ready to let all of these extra calories do their job. I’m not going to track calories whilst I’m on Xmas break because I just don’t want to! IMG_0259.MP4

    I am genuinely so happy I’ve won a copy of that game! Thank you so much @GazzaGarratt you’re a legend x
  20. Middle Class Caveman
    I won!!!! Ahhhh
  21. Middle Class Caveman
    I was going to train last night after my deep tissue therapy but as you can see from the picture - I took a beating! So I gave it a swerve and will hit up my session on Wednesday.

    Having a coach is key, I'ma coach and have have been a client for many years so I would 100% agree to that buddy. Make sure you do start a fitness PPR as it is its own form of accountability!

    Well annoyingly I woke up Tuesday with Covid like symptoms! nooooooooo Fortunately, I don't have it, apparently you can't just get a cold anymore - it's essentially a death sentence 😞 Took last week to rest as I don't want any germs in my gym as that's a real melting pot of people and bacteria. Back to the grind today, I have massage and then a session so will upload later.
  24. Middle Class Caveman
    It was such a privilege seeing these awards being given out last year in person. Everyone who has one is well deserved and @GazzaGarratt has been spot on with his choices for sure! Many congratulations folks!
