@button What would be your top tips for someone on how to cope while recovering from an injury?

@kir081315 There’s only 3 to choose from but the cocoa and sea salt is my fave 😋

@kir081315 Great post nice one. Try Tribe protein powder if you want a vegan alternative. I have it in my porridge. It’s delicious!!

@regularposter Sounds good man. Thank you. Yes I think a focus on skills/gains is better than a focus on aesthetics. One of mine is also the handstand 😉

@regularposter Very inspiring man. I’m 5’10 and it’s gunna be a long time before I look like this haha. What are your goals now? What are your daily calories?

@raykay So it’s always progressive overload + one of the other techniques?

@raykay Great post, thank you. In the ‘using these techniques effectively’ examples how do you progress them? Surely progressively overload (adding reps) is always required to keep moving forward?

@blombs Thanks good idea

@jermyn Ok thanks yeah that was just an example I guess. I will most like replace with HSPU.

@jermyn What about if I took the RR and did two things: remove the core triplet and do it on the off days with running, and mixed the exercises up so instead of just weighted dips, do weighted, ring and pb dips with some DUP programming across m/w/f? This way I save time and keep things...

@jermyn Ok I think I understand, thanks. I’m going to see how it goes, it may be upper lower is a better fit

@jermyn Thanks son. Do you mean PPL doesn’t have any benefit over upper/lower? Also would you programme it like: upper, lower, rest, upper, lower, rest rest OR upper, lower, upper, lower, upper, lower, rest? And do you do those pairs on the same days or split them? For example would one upper...

@biggums Lol innit

@sister_diane Sounds good

@sister_diane Ok cool, cheers. I think this week will be lots of feeling my way through it and reading the comments here to arrive at a sustainable programme. I loved RR but was just time to change.

@sister_diane Thanks. So the SM PPL is just one of the programmes listed in the menu, the format of which I’ve used as the basis for this, hence the large amount of pull ups. I’ve been doing RR with sets of 5 rather than 3 so I’m quite used to the volume. The pull ups may be too much, however...

@chychy This is good. I’ve been doing RR with sets of 5 rather than 3 anyway so I’m quite used to the volume. I’ll run it and see how it goes. Doubtless will need tweaking here and there.

@kristianzhe Thanks for your reply. In terms of pull up volume, this is what was prescribed in SM's PPL from the side bar, but maybe that's assuming that pull ups aren't my primary pulling goal?

Hi I'm looking for feedback on my take on SM's PPL programme. I'm 35yo male, 5'10. I've been doing RR for 10 months but am moving on as the only way I was gaining was by doing 5 sets of everything and this made the workout 2–2.5 hours long which was proving mentally unsustainable. My goals...

@jermyn Yeah I feel like this is the way seeing as I hate too much direct work haha
