Natural I don’t think you need to worry so much unless you have any symptoms you’re worried about?

I have no or minimal carbs at the moment on rest days and just have plenty of veg.
Meals tend to be chicken /w almond butter and veg or 5% mince with chopped tomatoes (about 4-8g carbs) for moisture and flavour and veg again. Use 0 sugar / low cal sauces – tomato / bbq / sweet chilli.
Training day carbs are around workout only – pre, intra and post. Other meals are zero carb again.
Found I’ve not missed it at all – herbs and spices make a huge difference as mentioned above 🙂

Of course you’re heavier in the evening – you’ve eaten and drunk all day. Morning is a better reflection of true weight.

Really think it’s possible to undo all that work?
Not so sure but only one way to find out right? Rest up for a bit then back to an let’s see what happens once you peel back the layers! -
If it takes a few months longer then it takes a few months longer. So be it. You know better than most this isn’t a quick game.
So fucking what if you’re not ready in 14 weeks, you aimed high and might have been optimistic is all. Hit the next one even more prepared! -
It’s not an area I’d be looking to go super heavy on at all, it’s a small muscle in comparison and in a bloody awkward position to hit. Definitely higher reps with good control. Utilise other intensity methods – rest pause / drop sets / muscle rounds to really get the bloody in to them.

Food should always be your number one priority without a doubt.
Multi-vitamins are great though and usually pretty good value for money. I suspect “branded” multi-vits like Animal Pak, while good, are likely over priced. You can find just as good if not better generic multivits out there for less. -
Hope everything is ok!
However the irony there of “quickly” walking Frank amused me. From what I’ve seen, he does very little quickly lol

Swimming is fantastic exercise – if it’s helping – stick at it! 🙂

Yeah nail on the head there mate. It all takes time and people rush in to things way too quickly as they’ve seen someone on YouTube smashing them out forgetting it’s taken them years to get to that level lol

Oh that wasn’t in reply to you bud lol I hadn’t refreshed the page so didn’t see your comment!

Well of course real quality food is always going provide better results, no one is disagreeing with that and you’re going off on a bit of a tangent here.
You can have good quality food and still supplement – pretty much every pro in the world does. Natural and assisted.
There’s plenty of other threads with drug talk, I don’t think this was ever meant to be one of them but I know the guys still use creatine even on gear so why would you think it has no use?
I think you’ve really gone a bit overboard here, all valid points to training and nutrition but missing the question a bit. But going on from your just eat more red meat philosophy, per 1lb of raw weight steak you’re looking at about 2g of creatine. So you’ll need 2.5lbs or just over 1kg of steak per day just to hit 5g of creatine. Good luck digesting and paying for all that. If you want 10g of creatine… well. I think I’ll stick to supplementing it you know 🙂

Not sure why you would put all the time, effort and money in to preparing for a show only to try and save money on the final touch of the show tan? :S Makes no sense to me.

@cswann89 Yes they are, no problems with sweat so far 🙂 Noticed the battery life is getting worse this last week though so will need to keep an eye on that.

Yeah they’re hard as hell 🙂
Practice some assisted reps too – either on a assisted machine or using bands.
Negatives are definitely a great help – they helped me loads.Lat pulldown too 🙂
I went from barely being able to do 1 to managing over 10 fresh to back to 0 recently when I had shoulder surgery and now I’m back up again 🙂 using all the above to build it back up.
