Filmed the full body workout I did all summer YDAY. Will have it up ASAP. I'll be switching into a new split for the winter. Post on this soon. I will take you through my workout from today via text and add my thought pattern/reasoning for how and why I did it how I did. GOAL - to hit each muscle effectively with just ONE total working set. First things first, CALVES. Get these done first and get them out of the way or they will be skipped at the end... I would typically always opt for a standing calf raise as the calves are most stretched when the legs and hips are straight/erect. When the gym doesn't have a good standing calf machine option, seated calf raises do the job pretty well.... Extremely slow and controlled, pausing at the bottom, milking the stretch. These also serve as a great ankle mobiliser which will help with hack squats shortly after. Like every set and exercise, if you slow these down and really FOCUS, making sure you control every inch of eccentric and concentric contraction (NO MOMENTUM), 1 set can be as effective as FOUR typical sets... Now onto ABS. Been hitting abs every workout this year. Something I typically do when I'm lean enough to see them. Decline sit ups are my go to because they're one of the only ab exercises available to me that effectively load the abs in their stretched/lengthened ROM. These also hit the hip flexors hard and I recently found hitting these DRASTICALLY decreased knee discomfort on the hack squat afterwards.. Makes sense as tight hip flexors are on of the biggest contributors to knee pain. Couch stretch and train your hip flexors !! Did roughly 15 reps with an extremely slow tempo and banged out a few more stretch partial reps at the end in the lengthened ROM. No weight needed. For QUADS, I ALWAYS opt for the hack squat. IMO this is the best exercise you can do for them. It is a squat movement pattern at an angle that completely BIASES the quads over the glutes. If done correctly, with feet very low on the platform, you can acheive a complete knee bend, taking the quads through their entire ROM.

What’s your average day of eating look like?

Is a shoulder press as necessary these days? I’ve noticed a lot have started dropping it because a chest press hits the front delt, obviously laterals are king for that v look but shoulder press is a goated delt builder? Surely it would be more beneficial to keep it in

What are some good diet hacks when in a deficit, also is calories in vs calories out true? Surely from a body composition and performance aspect the quality of the calorie matters
