    Training Buddy #8 - My New Bodybuilding Push Day | Training for Longevity and Strength

    **Stop hurting your back and start building muscle.** 👊 Welcome back to the garage for Training Buddy Episode 8. Today is a full Push Session, but there’s a major shift in how I’m approaching my training. After years of CrossFit and constant back tweaks, I’ve decided to hang up the high-rep Olympic lifts for now and pivot to a Bodybuilding-style programme. In this 35-minute session, I’m walking you through every lift—from the Bench Press to Tricep Extensions—explaining exactly why I’ve made this change. The goal isn’t just to get a "pump"; it’s about longevity, spinal health, and finding a way to get stronger without the constant risk of injury. If you’ve been struggling with lower back pain or feel like your current training is breaking you down rather than building you up, this one is for you. In this episode: ✅ My move from CrossFit to Bodybuilding ✅ Why I’m prioritising spinal stability over explosive power ✅ Full Push Day walkthrough (Sets, Reps, and Cues) ✅ How to programme around a back injury without losing your gains and your mind.
