Did this as per the program for 7 weeks to get in shape for holiday that I am now on. Happy with the results and feel the holiday is well deserved for the work I've done

Excellent thank you 👏
Chest Sesh!!!!!!! Not For The Weak!
Commander Hammers: Operation CHEST BREACH (Rest-Pause Protocol) Mission: 5 exercises. 1 brutal working set each.Pick a load you’d fail at 10–12 reps, then rest-pause your way to +20 more reps with 5-second micro-rests every time you hit failure. If you’re not questioning life choices, you picked it too light. Rules of Engagement - Warm-up: 5–7 mins shoulders & pecs (band pull-aparts, cuff work), then 2–3 ramp sets per exercise (8–5–3 reps) stopping well shy of failure. - Working set: Hit true failure at rep 10–12 → 5 sec breath → keep accumulating reps until you’ve added 20 (e.g., 12 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + … = 32 total). - Rest between exercises: 3–4 minutes. Hydrate. Curse quietly. - Tempo target: Controlled negatives, explosive but clean concentric. Don’t bounce. - Failure = you cannot complete another clean rep without breaking form. - The Operation (Chest Focus) 1. Dumbbell Bench Press — Stretch-Pause 2. Pec-Deck — Big Stretch 3. Smith Machine Flat Bench 4. Decline Barbell (or DB) Bench 5. Cable Crossovers (High-to-Low) Example Rest-Pause Breakdown Hit failure at 11 → 5 sec → 6 → 5 sec → 4 → 5 sec → 3 → 5 sec → 3 (you’ve added 20). Form first; if reps drop to singles, keep the 5-sec rhythm until the +20 is done. Intel & Safety - Two deep breaths ≈ 5 seconds. Use a timer if your soul lies. - Spotter for presses = mandatory. - If shoulder says “nope,” swap #4 for machine decline and #3 for slight-incline Smith. Debrief Protocol (quick recovery) - Cool-down: 5–8 min easy bike + doorway pec stretch. - Nutrition: 25–50 g high-quality protein + 60–90 g carbs within 1–2 hrs. - Supps (optional): Creatine 3–5 g, EAAs 10 g intra/post, - Magnificent Trio of the most absorbable forms of Magnesium pre-sleep. - Sleep: Aim 8–9 hrs; HRV appreciates it. - Orders Complete the mission. Report back with how it went—pump score, weights used, and where you broke first. If you are a true Black Op’s Warrior, you’ll finish all five sets-from-hell and file your after-action report.

46yr old from England. Lifetime of training but suffered loads of injuries since turning 40. Looking at new ways to train rather crippling weights.
