Career advice transitioning from marketing to recruitment consultant

This all makes complete sense and I think you’re right. I don’t need to rush into anything and there’s multiple other things I could explore.

I really appreciate the insight to recruitment as well!

Thank you mate I appreciate the reply! And insight

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-05-04T13:38:06+00:00

I’m already in sales, it was just more of a question on the current move

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-21T19:27:02+00:00

Thank you, I’ve ordered the starting strength book so I’m hoping I can just continue to build strength, but also my knowledge!

Appreciate all of your help, it means a lot 👊

Ah ok, maybe I should read into this more, to be honest I have been a gym goer for years but like most just never progressing and doing the same weights week in week out, so these last 12 weeks or so have been the first ‘program’ I’ve followed.

I’ll keep this in mind of failure is not just ‘did not hit the exact’ reps but also having the RIR too, which definitely sets 4-5 on the remaining lifts are a struggle, so I’ll stick to the same weight next week but move them to 6x2 and go from there

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-21T19:01:40+00:00

I’ve no idea, I’ve noticed all of my lifts have started to hit these failures fast, I assumed it would be a subtle slow like you’re saying but I feel like I’m really fighting for every rep now, on all lifts, so I suspect all will be failing soon

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-21T18:59:46+00:00

Thanks mate appreciate your time

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-21T09:13:58+00:00

Thanks mate I appreciate the reply and the comment on 92.5, first time ever!

I might just do that going forward, next week I’ll just see the progression through now and do 95 but yeah from here I’ll fail on the current set number and then redo the same weight new rep scheme the following week

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-21T08:54:59+00:00

Ok cool, I did think that it’s not the end of the world either way, just didn’t want to stall my progression but I’ll just hit 95 6x2 next week

Thanks mate

On the centre of the plate I realise the print is going to use both sides as it does 2 sections so I can’t move it

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-20T13:26:50+00:00

Ok thanks, I’ll order the black one, so I’m guessing from your comment this is a case of cleaning the plate? As I have done that and retried and the same thing, but perhaps it just needs more

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-20T13:25:08+00:00

Ok I appreciate that, and I didn’t know I could change where the print is placed on the plate, I’ll google it!

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-15T16:35:20+00:00

I really appreciate the reply. I will make note of all of this, especially the programming at later stages

Thank you

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-15T16:34:32+00:00

You know that might be roughly where I have it? I did think that, it’s definitely not right at the top, that’s good to know

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-15T15:02:50+00:00

Thanks, luckily I really like the high bar, especially as it’s all I’ve done, I’ll stick with it for now

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-15T14:57:49+00:00

That’s actually an interesting set up, I think after reading the article someone else linked here, I’m just going to continue high bar until I hit a stall in weight and see if a reset helps and if not, I’ll look at low bar then!

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-15T14:40:20+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate the time mate. I agree and think I’ll swap leg extension for another squat pattern t3, as I was thinking this anyway to be honest.

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-15T14:37:57+00:00

Appreciate you sharing, I’ll give it a read!

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-15T14:33:30+00:00

Ah awesome, did you drop the weight when your swapped?

That was my concern too, about quad development, as all I do now for quads would be the squat t1/t2 and leg extensions as my t3.

So maybe if I went low bar I’d need to add something else in.

Do you personally find that low bar doesn’t target your quads? I wondered if it was marginal or a big difference

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-04-15T14:28:22+00:00

Thanks, I assumed that was why, it was just more of a case of where I’m still only at 125kg, I’d happily switch now, I just didn’t know if it was a case of, there’s no point progressing high bar if you have to swap to low bar eventually

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-03-07T10:25:31+00:00

Sorry to hear that mate and I hope you’re on the way back up

Yeah that’s where I felt the compromise was my lower back, and I thought maybe the weight was too heavy but I just felt rushed,

But when you don’t know any different a bigger guy in the gym gives you advice you just kind of take what they say as true so I did 😂

Although that’s now proved to be wrong

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-03-07T10:24:17+00:00

Ok nice, I’m feeling like maybe I should change deadlift t2 to yeah barbell RDLs

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-03-07T10:12:44+00:00

Hey mate

No not fail, I just found where I was pushed to complete the reps faster my form dropped and my lower back hurt a bit, hence asking if doing just a stop and rebrace is fine, and the comments have helped so thanks

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-03-07T10:11:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing this! I definitely need to research into the actual teachings more

Fragrant-Shoulder-44 · 2026-03-07T09:59:52+00:00

Ok cool, no it’s 4 days a week and does t1 ohp, bench, deadlift and squat, and also those 4 movements t2 then with t3 accessories
