77.6kg.
Weight has been spiked due to really shit sleep the last few days and external strssors again.
Not gonna vent about it again on here but yeah, stressors cause the fluctuations and then i lose the head from scale gain.
In other topics, had an amazing pull and push day. Training is still in an amazing spot and i am actually still bursting full post workout so im chuffed with that. I dont think i will ever need refeeds on this prep and i am still in a position to continue putting the foot on the gas.
Got some melatonin to help the sleep coz ive been just waking up 4-5x a night full of energy.
Legs tmr and cant wait to nuke em.

77.2kg
Fasted cardio. Had an amzing lower session today and great upper sesh too. 16 Weeks in a deficit and we are still striving, i will not miss.
My current mindset and intentions the last few days has been just pure intrinsic drive. Showing up isnt enough for me, i must take and give full intent no matter what, i am in such a privilliged state to be able to do this passion. Seeing more of my compitition has deffo gave me more fire. Not with comparisons fuck all that, but more on about its getting more real and i must give my maximum enthusiasm and determination.
I dont care if ill be the best, but i want to show i have passion and i deliver on my work.
I love this shit man.
Well needed rest tomorrow

Holy fuck my legs are absolutely toast today man, serious legs a session smoked and really went for it. Felt fantastic post workout.

77.6kg
fasted cardio and steps and had a leg day today and holy fuck my glutes and hams are cooked after that. After exercise one my hams were on fire.
RDL is the only movement where strength is dropping tbh and it is quite a. pain in the hole.
My Trunks came too so will be doing my check in tmr with them on which wont look too bad as im now lean enough to see the ‘X’ figure come in.
If i drop more tmr ill actually be very happy. this is my first phase ever where im dropping daily. I do feel quite lighter and mid section feels alot tighter too, even like doing cardio and walking, im noticing how light i feel.
EXCITING TIME AHEAD

Today was a fine example of how interesting it can be to be an aspiring bodybuilding competitor whilst working as a police officer in central London. I was put on for a 12hr shift 7-7 and chose to train before work rather than after like I normally would. I adjust my sleep time yesterday evening fell asleep soon after 7:30pm and I was up at 230am today. I ate trained ate again at the start of my work day and managed to get my meals in during my shift.
Then by chance at 615pm I can across a woman in a medical episode and ended up having to administer first aid to a sled inflicted stab wound in neck and in turn finished 9pm and I still had to see out what was left of my steps at the end of the day. Nonetheless everything that needed to be ticked off was ticked off. Due to the sheer unpredictability of my job I’ve learnt rlly rlly fucking well how to adapt what I do around it to the best of my ability.
Love it man,
Great to follow on with your progress

77.9kg New low.
and it continues to keep going down from here, today is rest so im expecting another drop tmr fingers crossed, as it should because of the new food drop.
Rest day today and had a tremendus Leg day yesterday, definitely the most cooked my quads has been of this whole prep so far haha. Its getting to that stage where the focus and grit to keep pushing is a tad more intense, which is fine because the strength is still there and progressing. No drop offs.
Morning wake ups is a tiinnny bit harder to push on with, but once im done fasted movement, hydrate and caffinate i feel all good.
Have a few errands later on, help out someone clear their home coz they are moving, bit of shopping and some pose practice.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday

Man is dropping wellll, as it should since i am now approaching 14 Weeks out.
Fatsed cardio and 3k additional steps.
Had quite a pushed back meal number 1, having it at 9:50am lol but not complaining but also wasnt intentional.
Had a morning client and had a cancellation so im not coming back in.
Have Legs today which i might just train in about an hour or so as no point having meal 2 at like 12;30 and do legs at 2pm waiting around doing nothing fuck that haha.
In a quite consistent groove with training and energy right now. Got feedback yesterday from pictures and food is staying the same for now but will be sending shots on Monday. Im more than keen having a push from next wednesday coz ill be 13.5 weeks out so.
The daily cardio is definitley pushing the extra condition.

78.6kg prep low
fasted cardio and few steppys while it was pissing rain (weird for aus lol)
Did pics this am and its mad how much you can see the changes come in every few days when you are abit leaner, we still got a long way to go and will not be shocked if food gets dropped today. Hunger is still reletively low which is fantastic.
Had a great push day yesterday which also strength is back up.
We also removed abit of volume.
Removed 1 set on my :
3x flat press
3x pulldown
3x tricep ez overhead
3x rear flys
3x pec deck
3x lying leg curl.
So basically all down to 2x now.
Have pull day now, lets make it a fucking good one.

Rest Day with fasted cardio.
Did my check in pics and full check in and im assuming cals might be dropped again haha. I am also confusing with that 14.5 weeks ALOT can happen VS how fast 14.5 weeks can pass by. Im happy enough of the shots but of course as per i want to see more , more new condition and feel like ive been looking the same for a while.
However, yesterdays leg session was terrific. First Legs B session that went great in a very long time. Strength has held and some lifts were stronger so im deffo abit more refresshed but still need to be careful not to bury myself too hard on training.
