    I just strained my rotator cuff. About 2 weeks in, can't lift for 4 more weeks. What adjustments should I make?

    @dtik9 You can usually get away with a lot of stuff in your 30s still before it really starts to catch up with you in your 40s, 50s and beyond

    4 day split? (25 y/o)

    @lamporful Bingo. I always blow up on upper lower. It leaves more time for recovery of the joints and CNS in comparison to PPL. While still getting nice frequency and adequate volume. Key is to train with intensity since you’re doing less.

    4 day split? (25 y/o)

    @don720 Amen. I’ve spent a year cutting from getting too fat. It’s a huge pain in the ass. You tend to always have more fat than you think if you’re bear mode.

    Anyone done PPL once a week with success?

    @darksoul999 Its an amazing split. So many people burn out or suffer joint issues on 6 day PPL. Ive found 3 days to be the sweet spot for long term sustainability. Ben howard trains like this.
