Great advice on the DB's thanks👌

I've managed to grab some really heavy duty bands, up to 38.6kg. Excellent bit of kit. So where the bio-mechanics of an exercise might be questionable with DB control I'm using the bands to "up the anti".

I haven't taken any "before" pics as

It's not that which encourages me. Having spent a long time being extremely accountable and very critical, I'm being super careful about my mindset and comparisons to my previous conditioning. It's a fine line hey?😉. However, I know the hypertrophy is in action already and I'm feeling super good mentally.👌

Really enjoying getting back to it!

Finishing up today with shoulders on Day 6. Used the Sculptafit DB session with band warm up.

Delts are my favourite to train, so felt right at home. Blasted me back a few years with the "Arnie Press" Joey!

Dived into the Flexi shoulder stretch routine. One of those, (the slightly complicated one)😅, is like "Eagle pose" arms in Yoga🧡

Photo to remind me of where I'm currently at!!!

Day 1 again tomorrow💪💪🙌

OK.....so, day 5. As I did a micro Triceps session early this morning, I stopped to finish off arms later this afternoon with the "Awesome Arms" session. I'll do Day 5 shoulders on Day 6 😁

As Jerry Lee Lewis said "There's a Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' on"😅, after 3 circuits, but a great pump to finish!

As a totally addicted, "strict form junky" over the years, I salute you Joey, we're talking the same language! Never have had a training injury over the years but major spinal surgery 16 years ago (work related) makes sure I'm on it with form.

Save me searching... any more links for shoulders? Other than on the 6 day?

Oh, and the podcast? I'll do a couple of months first on Total Access,, but in the meantime will shoot you an email.

Onward and upward 💪🙌🙌

Tell me, where can I find your current podcast platform? I can see how busy you've been over the years with them! 👌

I'll be looking for the upgraded pic!😉💪😊

3 days in and working on the 6 day intermediate schedule.

This couldn't be more of a contrast to my previous training and I'm appreciating the tempo, reduced workout time and convenience of training at home.

The first week I'm just easing myself in mentally, as for me, that's the most important part! I know that I'm moving differently as I have DOMS from the ULBHTM on day 1 now🤣🤣

My dog takes a more relaxed approach 🤣🐾

Well!,…..this works brilliantly for the “afternoon energy dip”🙌. My day starts really early around 5am, walking my dog before heading off to my business in gardening, which requires a lot of my physical energy. By 3-4pm my work is done but my dog still needs another walk and I need to train. I have literally done this twice, held each stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds. Each time, I have felt rejuvenated and ready to go again. Thanks Joey!! 💪💪

Thanks Joey, appreciate your helpful offer and I'll be sure to come back here and ask after a bit of navigation and trialling 🧡

I'm in East Anglia in the county of Norfolk.

Hi 👋 I'm on the 2 week trial as a newbie to you Joey. I've had a lifelong fitness journey and now at 60 need to change it up. UK based🇬🇧

I've been a non PED, natural Bodybuilder at competition level for years, but TBH my mindset has changed dramatically in the last 3 years and I've exited "gym culture" completely. So....I'm looking to revamp my enthusiasm, mindset and commitment. No pressure hey!🤣

For me, although I have a solid degree of muscularity, hormone depletion and slowly deteriorating skin tone (dimpling, sagging etc) is very noticeable to my very critical eye! My diet is spot on and I'm a tiny lightweight.

I've navigated your emails, sorted the app and so far found what I'm interested in no problem👌

I shall be VERY interested to see how this progresses....and will be joining in full from the trial onward.

Bring it on!💪🙌🙌
