    Hi mate

    I’m with James. Resist the temptation to try and fancy things up mate. Body let priority in the programming, excellent movement execution, progress.

    Hi mate,

    I’ve had one for years, and honestly, it’s not inhibitive.

    I wouldn’t be worrying too much about what you’re doing leading up to the surgery if you’ve been training with it for a while.

    Post surgery, as Kam says, you should be asking your surgeon exactly what they want from you.

    Hi mate, I’m also with the upper / lower gang here.

    As Clare has directed you, jump on the educational videos for a philosophy explanation and set up guidance.

    Mega upper session today. Very happy!

    Just sorted meal prep for tomorrow as well, so just some final steps, then a cold shower, last meal, and a bit of chill.

    Another very busy week, but sessions to look forward to.

    Rest day tomorrow

    Hi mate. Try mixing the whey powder with the CoR before adding water.

    Then add hot water little by little until it’s the consistency you want

    I’m with the guys here mate. Without knowing the context of why you’ve programmed it the way you have, it’s difficult to comment.

    Get a measure of how you are progressing, recovering, connecting with the movements.

    Consider whether the set up represents the improvements you want to bias (if any)

    Let us know how you go

    Another very good week of training boxed off

    Arms and calves this evening, giving some attention to these two significant weaknesses

    I’ve not had a bad session since joining this gym. Absolutely loving my training just now.

    Rest day tomorrow, and honestly, feel like I’m ready for it. 20mins then my last meal

    100% with James here mate. Please don’t try to be too clever with it. Get the work done across an upper lower and your legs will come up.

    Really good leg session tonight. Brilliant feel in all of the nonevents, particularly hapoy with a stance change on the leg press which I think is going to bode very well.

    Really getting on well with the new diet, hunger is good, digestion is excellent, just to see what happens with body comp

    Very very busy day tomorrow and then upper in the evening. Love it

    Last meal now and sleep

    Rest day today and super long one at work.

    Really good stuff, but it’s taxing.

    How did you get on? Was it fully torn? Was it a operation that you had to have? How are you doing?

    Hey Meg hope your training is going good. Yes full tear of the bone, it was pretty obvious once the inflammation had gone down haha.

    Three weeks post surgery now. The surgeon I went too see was amazing so well on the way to recovery. 🙂
