    6kg in a week isn’t great: except if you are a classic physique am/pro who hardly beated the weight for a contest and it’s mainly 6kg glycogen (which I don’t think so)
    It’s not good. Do you have pics of your shape?
    Tell to your coach that you need more explanations cause you don’t agree with this; this is your body mate; we can’t accept everything blindly; communication is key

    Imo if you sleep from 9pm to 2am it’s still 5h sleep, and I congratulate you for going to bed that early, but that’s super early, in summer it’s still daylight outside; honestly hats off cause impossible for me, just getting the desire to be in bed at 9pm is out of my power.
    On that funny speech though; try to go to bed later and be really tired for it.
    I mean I would try to go to bed around 11pm and see what happens

    500gr body weight more per week is a good average.
    So now, just go back to a lower diet, to remove all the inflammation from your body and then start again onto a fresh base.
    Dont aim for a precise weight ; aim for a visual.
    We don’t care if it’s 3/4kg or 5/6kg, you just need to be less inflamed and with a decent condition to start again from a clean base.
    6kg up is simply too much food too quick and if you watch your blood sugar I am sure this is very much on the high range too
    You can’t absorb that much food otherwise you wouldn’t gain that much weight in just one week

    i dont quite understand what your saying in terms of reversing ?

    what way do you bring food?

    im up 6kg. Ill prob hold this until weight stabilises and then add

    Mate, on the 6kg you had on one week : probably just 500gr is real muscle, the rest is water and fat potentially; so no that’s not optimal.
    Reversing is increasing SLOWLY the food, it helps you to keep the hardwork of the prep on your body compo and avoid getting inflammatory.

    Hello everyone
    This am check-in
    Weight is the same but hell I love the look today.
    57,9kg.
    Let’s see what the coach will say.
    Full day of online posing lesson today.
    Also done my 12k steps.
    I have booked one physio session per week until the Olympia, and one session after I come back from Olympia.
    Also started my luggage, and organization.
    On top of this, hair loss has stopped drastically so everything I do is paying off.
    And also re-order a second production for my t shirt line, with more stock in black and two other colours.

    Me I reverse since this year and I have seen MASSIVE changes on my shape.
    The stubborns zones for females such as glutes insertions, didn’t store as fast and as much as when I was doing food up post show directly.
    Noticed this on my husband as well, he did reverse same as me, ofc no free meal at all, and his stubborn storage zone (lower back) is 50% more qualitative than before.
    At the beginning of my second prep I was not convinced by the reverse I did right before cause I was focused more on another aspect such as metabolism speed; but the prep I am doing now is much less aggressive than the one I had to do before, and also the skin aspect is better, the fullness is still very present as the cut now is less aggressive.
    It all looks better in any ways.
    And before I was obliged to drop kcals to 1400 and now I am almost ready at 1750.
    So we did improve at some points.
    Imo reverse is better, but make sure the weight increase sufficiently

    September 13, 2025 at 8:50 am in reply to: too much sugar ?

    Hello mate, I do the exact same as you for other reasons such as food volume; as the standards for my division is a super tiny waist, I prefer to choose some low volume foods carbs as honey figs dates cor agave etc
    For me imo that’s super super fine.
    If your digestion allows it and others macros (and micros) are in check, I mean do it.
    Just make sure your blood sugar is still good with all those carbs and we’re good

    September 12, 2025 at 8:03 pm in reply to: Downsizing female hobby bodybuilder

    Hello mate

    First of all she needs to start a deficit diet, and add some tracked daily steps for her to fit a tad leaner ; then and only then, u will be able to see how much muscle she truly has.
    The tricky thing is that women with more body fat on the lower body get really smaller when fat/water retention is lower.
    I am someone with a very heavy look on glutes and legs in off season from contest, but overall I don’t look fatty but the lower body is just extra full and hold majority of my fat.

    So first, as I said, she need to diet down.

    When she will be lean; you need to assess her shape and ask her if she still thinks she got too much lower body.
    If if she does still : assess which part : hams? Glutes? Quads?
    Depending on her answer she will have to srop working out some body parts but it does not mean she has to stop bodybuilding.

    I am a bikini pro athlete qualified for the Olympia; and I have missed for 3 years my pass for the Olympia because I was too heavy lower body, it was too dominant, but the judges wanted me to keep my glutes.

    So in terms of “chameleonizing” the shape, I know what I am speaking about.

    Imo if her quads are too big for her taste; she will have to stop all voluntary exercises with a knee flexion, even if they are glutes biased.

    If her hams are too big, she will have to stop all the curls and all DL with a super deep amplitude.

    If her glutes are too big, she will have to stop the glutes ; but I don’t think this is something she will desire to do as the women in general don’t want small glutes.
    What they want most of the time is less legs.

    Now for the upper body; she can still train; but she will have to stop progressive overload. She will have to stay at one load and don’t progress the load. Otherwise it will grow ; logical.
    It will not grow in deficit though, but this is what I currently do as well.

    Now I got 3 session of gym per week.
    Twice glutes (no squat, no DL, no press, no hams, no quads)
    Once upper body (no biceps)
    And to loose legs (quads and hams) I had to stay in deficit for a long long time, and do a lot of cardio (elliptical or stairmaster) for a long time, but if she does not like cardio, she can just stay in deficit and do daily steps that’s fine.

    I am not fully agree with running though…
    it’s not good for glutes… you just have to look the glutes of runner ladies… flat.

    The girls doing sprints have much more round glutes though, as impulsive run is much better for glutes than long runs

    Hi everyone, thanks for advice. So I have dropped to 60mcg and bodyweight has been holding nicely at 85kg for last 5 days. Sensible to drop to 40mcg for another week then remove do you think?

    Wait 2/3 more days like this then go to 40

    Hello everyone
    Check-in this morning : 57,9kg hehe
    Back to my stage weight in Alicante earlier this year !
    Super cool now it’s just keep removing the last fat cells, water and just let the skin getting thiner.
    But from now on, it’s all fun.
    We are 29 days out and those last day the shape has moved tons, since I am stress and fatigue free from work and with no more travelling days or weekends.
    Super happy of the shape this am, I have posted some stories today with previews, but I am not gonna do any post now. Got a lot of things to post before and I don’t wanna be too redondant with check-ins.
    Also today I have done the shipment of all my t shirts for the Olympia, I have spent 3 hours at the post office before my upper workout, so I am blown away how unefficient the post office is 😂 I mean….
    Anyways that’s done
    Tomorrow it’s meals delivery 🤩✨ got a new sponsor of meals prep; so basically I don’t cook anymore and I don’t do food shopping anymore 🤓
    I love to cook myself but I have to admit it’s good to be served as a princess sometimes😂😂
    Tomorrow glutes workout ✨🫶🏼
    We come back to the old glutes workout routine from now on, we have added some strength polyarticular exercises to fill up the glutes a tad for 10/14 days, but as we get closer to the show we don’t want them too wide; so we go back to the standard plan.
    Still waiting the feedback of my coach, but as weight dropped of 300gr I can bet we keep equal and check in few days

    September 11, 2025 at 8:54 am in reply to: Collagen for knee pain

    Hello mate
    First of all I would see a physio and do exams.
    Then second of all; I would check few parameters into your life habbits.
    Joints are put into trouble when we :
    – repeat a bad movement into our routine
    – body bad alignement
    – lack of mobility or stretching
    AND ; potential bad execution at the gym.

    The pain you describe is like a pinching feeling right?

    If yes; still do exams and check a specialist, but I do had same, and I had hips bad aligned and on top of this, lack of quad mobility so I implemented a routine of stretching mobility everyday fasted. I went much much better, until it disappeared.
    Best supps to support this in parallel are join-in and osteo pro.
    I wouldn’t take collagen as collagen is hardly assimilable (except one form of it) and what the join-in and osteo pro tbjp contain is enough (according to my brasilian doctor)

    Today I have full day of video posing corrections, and one posing lesson into my studio at 3pm. Now doing my steps before breakfast, and allowed me to sleep a tad more cause I accumulated a lot of short sleep since this weekend.
    Then breakfast and start the corrections of my videos.
    Tomorrow check-in for the coach, upper workout and mission to the post office to send those almost 50 packages lol
    7 of them have been sold to the tbjp allison testu cup and I was planning to bring two of each at the O, for the meet and greet but would be more 1 or each size. I got L, XL & XXL.
    So def thinking about starting another production though.
