I can commit to the first 6 weeks at least. The back half is a lower body focus… I’m going to need some real motivation!
I’m in though. My diet is what needs to take up my brainpower right now anyway.

Are you several days ahead of me or did you just knock out legs earlier in the week?

I knock out legs earlier as I can take my time on a Sunday which is my ‘day 1’
The gym is rammed on Mon and Tue. I’m also pushed for time on those days

Didn’t enjoy this one
Missed the last set on Incline Press. 3 reps short 
.
I can only blame the Five Guys I had on Saturday
Misjudged the Rear Delt Destroyer as well

Weight steadily heading downwards.
Few wee fluctuations along the way, usually junk food assisted.
It’s hard when the other half wants to go out for something to eat however trying my best to mitigate any negative effects.
Really focused right now.
Definitely seeing some physique changes and also getting the odd comment at work.

What’s your weight goal if any?
Freaking awesome, man!
I’m not losing the weight I want to lose. I am having to kick into higher gear earlier than I want to, I guess. Good work on you!

145lbs seems achievable at this point. That’s another 12lbs.

Cheers @TrainForPain matey 
I’m struggling to think how I’m going to get the giant sets done next week. There’s no way I’ll pull that off in the gym I train at.
How do you go about it?
I usually make substitutions so I still meet the “goal” (like quad pump or whatever). Worse comes to worse, I just do really short breaks so I feel miserable.
Which day are you looking at? Maybe I can offer up what I’ve done before.
Week 3 Saturday is the first giant set day
Baller.
So I’d probably drag a couple aerobic steps and a pair of dumbbells over to the machine press.
I’d go:
- Machine Press
- Stretch push-ups off the steps (instead of dips)
- DB flyes laying on a step as a bench (instead of crossovers)
Barring that, I’d just do everything as straight sets with 40-second breaks and maybe holding the last stretch position on the last rep for awhile.

Sounds good mate
Knowing me, I’ll probably hit the gym at 3am to ensure I get full reign of the place 
I’m starting to get my head around the exercise sequencing that Meadows promotes.
I can see me using it for a long while.

This is where I’m at right now. No pump.
I can definitely see some changes around the arms and delts.

Same. Every time I see something shiny I try to change it up, but I come back to his stuff. It’s pretty friendly and effective and you can work it anywhere

Never felt this one today
It lacked pain.
I need pain to feel it’s working.
It’s hard trying to get certain machines in the gym and it’s amplified by the fact that sequencing is such an important component in Meadows workouts

That’s the one downside. I still find it easier than when I have to either do circuits (obviously) or progress specifically on key lifts (because even a bar makes a difference there), but setup can still be a challenge with these too
