Nice range there, hows the cycle going?

@shazzabazza not too bad notice the strength increase and slowly starting to see some gains, nothing major yet but it's slowly happening

Great consistency there brother.

The workout structure looks solid but going to failure on every last set across every workout is risky for gains long-term. Hitting failure too much can fry you out, and muscles need recovery to grow. Instead, save failure for maybe the last set of your big lifts...like squats and bench..so you can push heavy on key moves without burning out. Also, watch for overlapping exercises, especially on chest/back days and arm days (like double pulldowns and too many curls). Make room for real rest days too..muscle needs it.

As Hubbles mentioned it looks a bit busy to be hard hitting every set. Nothing wrong with more warmup sets but you appear to have lots of working sets, which eventually will limit your maximum efforts. It’s counter intuitive to do less when you got the energy but consistent long term gains are worth it.

I like the routine here, good focus on isolation movement. You should also consider adding in some more compound exercises like close grip bench presses or even chin-ups just so you can engage multiple muscle groups and increase your overall arm strength.

How'd you deal with all the Christmas splurges? I honestly struggled a lot. It was hard to say no, and I ended up caving in.
