morning.
84.2 this am
Bodyweight keeps spiking for some reason. May be due to digestion has gotten abit poor or having 3 training day foods come back to back sincw i was off gym for 4 days. Could be sleep.
Will talk about this to the coach.
Big Leg day today.
Great bit of kit , first quad dom. session in this gym and the hack was some kit, scary kit due to depth being impossible to hit the ground even with doing 0 weight fucking about. Destroyed the legs today, lifts progressed.
Details.
Hang Raise 3x
seated ham curl 2x
leg ext 2x
hack sq. 1x
Leg Press 2x
Calves 2x

84.0 this am
Food still the same, dont know too much why weight is bumping up but i digress.
Feedback from the coach was different to plan, i was suppose to start prep on wed, but we are going next week. Hes very happy how the look is being held and wants me to keep an eye if bodyweight spikes anytime.
Training was IMMENSE, fuck i feel strong right now. Had a killer pull day and had amaxing energy. Sleep is back being as it was and stress is still low.
Possibly have a job start next week as i got sent a draft yesterady of the contract. Havr pretty much all my errands of what i need to do for work/ quals so i am all set.
Fuck i got blueballed about prep hahaah. i just want to CUTTT i feel so full anf fluffy lmao.

83.8kg this am.
Did my check in shots with some extra rounds of posing.
Upper is in bits after yesterdays session after being off for 4 days so ill probably feel the dame tmr with legs.
Happy with the shots! less watery and full in better places.
Legs today felt strong, big lifts and progressions which i am quite chuffed with. deload was well needed.
Had an interview/ inspection for a job and they are pretty keen for me due to them asking me when will i be free to start!
And here we go, prep starts tmr. No biggy, just same shit except less carbs lol.
I will be getting adjustments and feedback tmr but since im now 5h ahead of my coach, itll take longer. Thats fine. Fucking buzzing and prepared, i dont feel any pressure or stress to transition to it, since ive not much i couldve done more on the lead up.
Briniging the momentum

Afternoon
83.5kg this morning with some vacuums
Been doing alot the last few days to settle myself in while moving.
Bank , new phone and number , driving etc.
bought about 3 weeks of groceries in bulk lol so I’ll be all set for prep beginning.
Got in few contacts with regards of work so I’ll be having a few chats about it all
Found a very good community bodybuilding gym that Is trained by IFBB pro coaches and IFBB members who train there too
Trained there a few times already last year and they have this meet up training sesh there so I might pop in.
Say hello , see some faces , try network even.
The gym that is near me is quite good , has all I need and is very near
When I get to drive , I’ll train at the BB gym.
Have to redo lisence (Aussie fuckers haha)
Had an amazing push day today and in good spirits.
Still quite watery visually since sleep still has been terrible from jet lag so I’m really hopping things pass by very soon
It’s been a pleasure to follow your LOG so far. Best luck for your move right now and excited for the future!

morning,
touched down in australia. went asleep at 10 and woke up at 4am lol
just hit 5am now, 84.0kg this weigh in as expected due to me being 7 or 8h ahead and woke earlier, water retention etc so im not phased.
I think coach says i have a rest day today so ill wait for what he has to say.
Im wrecked lol but cant sleep , jetlag never fun here.
Was happy i got to eat all my prep meals despite appetite was gon to the dogs at that 2nd flight.
The most important thing about this whole transition is that i am not stressed

Morning!
Sorry for poor consistency.
83.1kg this am followed by some rounds of vacuums.
Busy few days with getting ready to move. I fly out at 1pm today. Nervoous and excited about this new change about my life. Sunday vening when i went out with som mates and their birthday it did kind of hit me all of a sudden.
Packed all my supps, meal prep frozen and clothes etc.
Rest day ttoday and had an absolute phenomenal week of training. Feel very strong and powerful. Had great check in feeback and cals will stay the same and we think weight will be the same till prep begins.
2 weeks to go/
All the best for the move Ben. Sounds like you have everything in order. You can’t control the uncontrollable, but being as prepared as you can is key to keeping stress levels low.[/quote]
Thanks a million.
