Fasted 30min cardio + add. 4k steps. Great morn of activity.
Had pretty shit sleep last 2 nights. Think its the leaner effect and mainly the alot recent earlier wake ups due to work. I have a lie in tmr so im gonna try prioritise my sleep and sleep window high tonight.
Just morn classes today and PT this evening, just doing admin work right now before tucking into meal 1
Have Legs B today which im verrrrry excited for. These build up excitement and focus with these Leg Day B sessions the last 4-6 weeks has been on another level. Mental preperation is key ! Preparing to execute at my best and uphold / increase my standard.
I will not use prep as an excuse to dare try drop the ball.

n/a weigh in.
Fasted cardio + 4k steps.
Had a productive early morning. Had check in pics today, wasnt as pleased coz i looked abit clogged and lighting was bad what meh, im assuming coaches response is to keep pushing same food and output.
Check ins getting really frequent now (3x a week)
Had an AMAZING push session yesterday, very happy how stability is still strong with db pressing and using same numbers and reps as i did 4 weeks ago. Pressing as a whole feels very good.
POA
Posing and vacuums
5am class

Routine/training/food, all have been consistent, to be fair more of the same, but better! That’s always the aim.
Rest day today so usual food shop/food prep and some additional work from UNI to finish.Early night for the last 2 big sessions of the week: Upper tomorrow and Lower Saturday!
Hope everyone is doing great!

Week 9 of the mini cut. Sat at 123.0kg this morning
1.5 weeks or the mini cut left
Condition is very very close to where it needs to be to begin pushing up
Gear has been escalated to
test 800mg
primo 1000mg
Mast 300mgThe cycle is starting to saturate fully now since the blast has begun physique is coming to life even as bodyweight and body fat is coming down
Food has stayed the exact same since the beginning of the mini cut
Steps still at 11k
No cardioClen at 40mcg
SLUPP332 at 500mcg fastedI’d imagine the set up will remain the same until the end of next week to finish the mini cut and then food and gear will go up

Ayyyeeee were bacck.
74.4kg this morning.
Not a prep low (low was 74.1kg) but we are really now seeing the changes check in by check in.
Done my fasted cardio + 3k add. steps.
Done my vacuums, 2x pose round practice and PT work. Genuienley this is the best i felt in prep. Especially mentally. Just keeping myself focused, giving intent to everything and being ON THE BALL with routine.
Prep has taught me to improve my standard with everything, not just with routine but with habits, chores, my 1;1 coaching, classes, as a person socially etc.
Grateful for it. Either that or prep is making me go abit schizo lmao.
Have push today, Light work.
6 weeks 3 days out.

74.7kg Prep Low
Fasted 1hr walk. Have cardio at midday.
And ill tell ya i felt the drop today haha, when i stood up i legit had to stand still and adjust to life for 20s lmaooo.
Rest Day today, i usually gain after a leg day so this was even more interesting to get a drop. Had Morning classes at 6 and 9am. Have a drive lesson at 11-12 and then in for the evening for PT.
Im in a very good place with less stress and with that, digestion has been its best its been in prep so far.
Lovely stuff. 7.5 weeks out.
Getting very exciting now.

75.0kg prep low.
Fasted Cardio 30mim.
Felt quite tiiiight today in midsection for this mornings vacuums. Had the worst calf cramp mid sleep so that was quite uneventful lmao, sleep was good, just doing some PT work before i do a drive lesson and catch a coffee.
One thing im understanding as prep deepens is how much of just doing enough is all that is needed in not just for fatigue/ time management but moreso having a clear cut set routine.
And also maybe too im starting to feel more preppy and simply cant hack doing alot more than usual INTENTIONALLY. Like there will be times ill be doing more or out of routine stuff that is out of my control.
Have LOWER B today, toughest one of the lot but we’ll make it nasty haha.
7 weeks 5 days.

Fasted cardio and about 6h of labour haha on a sunday / rest day.
Very happy with todays physique check in and coach was VERY happy too.
Think im back to low day food which is fine, no hassle brah. Just doing a potential client set up, finish off my steps and kick the feet up.
Absolutely fantastic week of training too, super good focus, and power. Super grateful for this week, very good with digestion and not letting external stressors affect me, very grateful for this community too and overall bodybuilding especially talking to lads im competing with. I love thos shit.

fasted 30min cardio.
Did check in shots today and some extra rounds of posing practice.
Felt pretty good upon wake up. Im now really tracking my digestion in terms of movement / how much movement etc beacuse i am realising how much more important it is for me for biofeedback. Been doing this for the last 2 weeks.
Had some seesaw mindgames about where im at, mainly condition wise but ik itll be inneviatble at this point in time. Feedback from Mark is tomorrow for leg day we’ll have no cardio and 8k steps with higher food.
Did some more labour work today so had another later session but still had a very good session, I keep saying this, but im super fucking happy how training is feeling and with performance this deep into prep. The switch on and preperation to go train is getting harder most deffo, but I CAN STILL TRAIN WELL
ITS ALL MENTAL BABYYYYYY.
8 weeks 2 days out.
