84.5 this am. PREP WK 1 D7
Great Rest day. Had my first aid and cpr practcal course dusted, so that is me with Australia work set up DONE.
Still navigating whether i take this job or not, make it work? , worth the investment? as i said, i will cover more qns with manager when i see him friday.
I like having life going on, so my personality doesnt just evolve around prep.
Got check in feedback, happy coach, training is adjusted but same split as that has been doing wonders for me. Cardio not put in lol which was suprising (enjoy it while i can)
im quite active (14-16k steps a day)

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

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!
