160 (new low) – Rest
Loz’s 21st birthday today, so today is all about her 🙂 I will tick all my boxes of course but it’s time with her after I’ve got check ins done, round her Mum’s house tonight etc, not that I need to say it on here but she genuinely has had such a huge positive impact on my life, when you find someone that you can so happily spend most of every single day with, I think that’s a great sign 🙂
Anyway enough soppy stuff, good sleep and let’s get another day started!

Oh yeah another good one in the books!
Log book attached 🙂

160.4 – Pull
Feeling very confident at this point in prep , good sleep, yesterday’s post workout pics are making the people I need to make happy, happy, and that’s all I care about 🙂
I’ll just keep my head down and keep working as there is more to be done!
Really looking forward to Pull later on ?

Fantastic session today – felt very strong despite the weight drop
Took out the reverse band on the incline as it really wasn’t doing a whole lot and a ball ache to set up ? simple really

Do you measure you’re daily salt intake AJ ?
If so, how much are you currently intaking?
Yes I do – 6g Pink 2g low salt [/quote]
What’s the difference between the pink and low salts?
why mix both?
Thanks [/quote]
Potassium higher in lo salt 🙂 -
No one in the U.K. is doing what you’re doing. Next level work ethic mate ?

160.2 (new low) – Push
Nice rest day yesterday at the PCA and also watching F1 in the afternoon , great race for Max!
At a point now in fat loss where I tend to be very responsive, this is where I thrive as my body doesn’t mind being here, it’s still tough but I believe my routine and resilience is what allows me to ease through the typically harder weeks.
We’re looking at 4 more week of fat loss and around 4-6 lbs (hard to predict) after that, it will be food tapering up, activity down, which I will run you through when we get there.
Feeling very confident 🙂
Ready for push later on!

Hey Clark, i think you may be getting confused here as the topic was training in contest prep, so the training wasn’t more so ‘for strength’ it was more so, we can lower volume to a point where ALL we are focused on is retaining strength, when in reality, some strength will inevitably drop off and we have to do what is needed to elicit hypertrophy.
Typically 4 sets is a great minimum baseline or quads per session

161.2 (new low) – Rest
Off to the PCA Manchester today to support my client Beth in Toned Figure, looking forward to watching the first half of the show then back home to catch the F1 and chill! Also got to wrap Loz’s presents as it’s her birthday on Wednesday :)) ?
Enjoy today! What do you think you’ll hit as a lowest weight if you were to guess? Then what would be your weight on stage (presumably a few lbs up?)? Thank you [/quote]
Hey matey, thank you, will do. I really think absolute lowest will be 154, stage 156 [/quote]
Wow! That’s a big difference from last year. I’m extremely excited to see what conditioning that brings, especially with the extra muscle you have added! [/quote]
It should be exciting 🙂 -

Great rest day yesterday, enjoyed the new marvel film and got to watch a lot of f3/f1 practice ahead of Zandvoort this weekend, that was after 15 check ins and a podcast though ?
Ready for Legs today!!

161.4 (new low) – Rest
Getting very close to completely new territory now, very exciting!
Couple of things I’m happy with from current shots is the fact my arms and top line in general are hanging on so so much better than last year, more muscle and more accurate training on the way down fuelling that. My legs are pretty flat which is fine because I know how quickly they can replenish when I drop steps, the key here is to not get scared when they get flat for a little bit, otherwise you’ll never get it all off.
Let’s keep going!
