Tom, you could always just do sets of either squats or deads at the start of each session to get them out of the way, and then you'd never have a leg day. Or would that just make you dread every workout? Sounds as though your grandchildren will have a wonderful time. I wanna come too! Nan, it's...

Thank you Elsie.

Tom, naughty Tom, have you been posting selfies???? Anyway...I did legs again today. Still aching from the other day, but managed sumo deads, front squats, hamstring curls, close stance squats and calf raises. Glutton for punishment I guess.

Well, I had tears in my eyes reading these posts. Could have been the super cute date lib had...or the naked deadlifts....or even the thought of dental work....or just my doms from yesterday. Who knows? Great workouts being posted. Lisa, I like the cardio blasts in between the lifts - I would...

Very inventive workout Tom. Glad you could get some pull ups. I'm going to have to research nitric oxide. Sorry about your mum. Even when expected, these things can knock us sideways. I've finished my deload. Thank goodness for a proper workout today. I did close grip bench, chest supported BB...

Back home again! Yay! I'm one of those that likes my own bed and routine. Lisa, I obeyed instructions and (almost) did your cardio routine - well, tabatacise. But close enough. I've finished my deload week, and I'm somewhat in fear of the next mesocycle, after hearing how long it took Roz...

Tom, that's a kitchen sink workout. Hilarious! Shock horror, I did more cardio today (pyramid hiit) plus deload. Must be the fact that I'm about to go and visit my MIL. Perhaps it's better that I'm exhausted, so I'll just agree with her! So- a few days off for me, as I'll go from MIL to my...

I'll get the templates when they come out today, and I'll be in touch! Aw, you all, I guess Lisa will find out now!

I feel I can legitimately post here today- I did Cathe's 30/30 hiit. Chosen as the easiest of her 3 hiit workouts on that dvd because I haven't done any serious cardio for several weeks (sh, don't tell Lisa). I'll try to do another tomorrow. I then did my deload workout, and then mark Lauren's...

Roz, meso 2 is one more set of everything than meso 1, right? And the weights go up at the same rate? I'm just trying to organise my meso 2 moves. I haven't felt sore or anything on meso 1- I just think 7 sets of curls can get a little tedious! Funnily enough, I only dislike lots of volume for...

Hi all, Lisa, I was off the wine for 12 weeks during my cut, but I'm back on it now, although only 1 evening a week, and just a couple. As to the workout length, they are almost 2 hours, including warm up. I know I'm fortunate to have the time. Lib, Lisa, XTrain is just about my favourite...

So, it's been leg day in commando land. 5 sets each of deadlifts, close stance squats, sumo squats, lying leg curls and calves. It's high volume work. I love the close stance followed by sumo - I feel I've covered all areas! Lib, I hope your son is ok. Hi to everyone else.x

Great bench as always Tom! How on earth did you manage work after a 3am bed time? I need my sleep these days! Roz, I'm interested to see if I lose ### during deload. I'm currently maintenance, back up to tab 1. Hoping to make base. Lib, how's your son? Lisa, circuit sweat sounds fun. I've...

Lib, I hope your boy recovers well and quickly. Hugs. Lisa, glad to hear you're back and doing leg days! Tom, hope the house sitting is ok. You're a good dad! Roz- meso 3 sounds scary. Meso 1 has been ok so far, but I'm just about to start on the final week, so we'll see how I feel after 32...

I hurt.

Well, knitting. Not something I imagined one of you writing about! I'd be hopeless- no patience. Leg day for me today, and the sets are ramping up. Close stance squats followed by sumo squats. Ow. I also had deadlifts and lying ham curls. For some reason I then agreed to go horse riding with a...

Karen, keep us posted about the garden! I love stuff like that. We grow just about everything possible. I guess your vegetables are outdoors? For us, tomatoes, aubergines, cucumbers and peppers need to be under glass. At the moment we're getting sick of purple sprouting broccoli, asparagus...

Lib, I'd let it go, and not fret about making the workout up. I find that I come to resent working out if I feel pressured into catching up. You went kayaking! That counts! Tom -12 sets? You really came bouncing back from deload! Push-pull for me today. All very traditional. I'll be getting...

Lisa, so good to hear from you. Sending virtual recovery hugs across the Atlantic. Don't be in too much of a hurry to get back into the Cathe workouts, they'll wait for you. Thanks for asking about my dh and his knee- he's back walking, no issues. Mind you it was keyhole, so recovery is quick. 2...
