Nearly there, must find a gym.
I can never really understand anyone who played sports professionally ending up like that, Iād have thought theyād just continue to exercise but I suppose when some retire they just stop.

Brucie was never a natural athlete to begin with thoughā¦
True.
So, Iām crap at bench press and when doing them yesterday I had more soreness/burn in my left side compared to right. Any thoughts on whether itās likely due to being weaker on that side or Iām taking more of the weight on that side?
I was conscious of it and tried to be very even but still felt it more in that side.
Define ācrap at bench pressā at bit more for me.
Soreness and burn in the left side of what?
When using a barbell I am conscious that I have a stronger right arm/ weaker right pec, and the opposite on the left. The equalizer for me is to try to use dumbells and use as good form, focusing on contraction of the pec to pull the weight up and across.
Just not trained it really so starting from scratch with the movement I suppose.
Left pec and delt. Iām doing quite well with engaging the pec compared to in the past where I didnāt think about it and mainly used my delts.
I honestly couldnāt tell whether it was stronger and taking more weight or weaker and fatigued quicker though I think itās probably the latter.
Iām going to do a lighter session now and will do some dumbbells too. Will try and judge what I was feeling.
To be honest Iāll probably have to use dumbbells as the safety catches being stuck where they are means theyāre in the way and I have to take the weight from a stupid position or do presses off the pins/catches.

Good session today. I got a set of ten chins. Did a second set and only got six but was happy.

This Double Stimulation Training is really helping me. Splitting up the work I do on each group is helping me bounce into each session rather than dreading it. Plus, because of the way I feel with this approach I canāt miss a day and say Iāll do it the next day as I feel like I have a window of opportunity to get the light session in. So Iām getting more work done, though this wonāt work for everyone.
Since dialling in my squat stance I now feel like Iām not trying hard enough as it feels so much better. Iāll just have to see where I plateau, still not going to try to race up the weight.

Yeah, nice video.
Yes and thatās the guy that does the podcast with Omah he is thankfully less annoying than him.
Jeff Nippard did a post about this on Instagram criticising what harder is as it has no definition and the problem with Greg Doucette.
I get it, but also he is a science facts and figures based guy, 95% of people at a gym arenāt. They just need to be told to work harder than last time.
8 week cut also starts today 
Goal - lose c 8+ pounds; maintain muscle; prime for next hypertrophy phase
Basic approach - switch to 3x full body metabolic workouts and consume small daily calorie deficit.
(supplement with 2 ārecovery 5k runsā
Workout A - Circuit training; 6 movements AMRAP for 30 secs with 15 secs rest in between. Start at 3 circuits and build to 5
Workout B - Pump focused with supersets on each major bodypart. Rep range 12-15 per set
Workout C - Drops sets on each major bodypart, with two drops (ie 3 load settings) making one set. Two sets each bodypart. Idea is to hit each fibre type and build up lactic etc
Plan is to accumulate and build up in first 2-3 weeks, avoid injury and over fatigue, learn and adapt load and intensity. Then 4 weeks in the middle blasting it, followed by 1-2 weeks of maxing out before deload.
Oh yeah totally, Iām pointing at good quality advice and discussion that I like to consume and what others on here might find useful, not what I think 95% of gym go-ers need.
IME that group need to better understand the basics of what theyāre trying to achieve and align it with what they are actually doing - waaay before getting into progression approaches and āwork harderā.

Batman training 
I like the broadening out of concepts and approaches (as long as people donāt then lose focus, get lost in choice/ complexity). Itās refreshing to see not just a focus on strength and fat loss and reminds me a lot of gymnastic training from a functional point of view.
Bit like gymnastics and Crossfit etc, Iād not want to subject my nearly 50 year old bones to too much of that now.
The world of youtube health & fitness is a fucking wierd place isnāt it, Iād hate to have to come up with some schtick to try to stand out online and whore for views and subscribers.
Anyway, what you really need is to bow down before the majesty and wisdom of The Nether Beastā¦
Seems like me and Greg are connected now. He just did a video saying my post stretched over 10 minutes
Well I see Greg hasnāt missed a trick (although missed the point) by posting an opportunist follow up to Nippardās video after spamming Jeffās comments page 
It must really really bite Greg that Jeff has about 2.1m subscribers
