100 Days and Christmas Eve ?
Bloody typical, the day before Christmas I come down with a sickness bug.
Hopefully it doesn’t last long and I can enjoy some time with my family.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas! ?

101 days.
1.5lb drop this week so everything moving in the right direction with no fat burners in yet.
I’m still in two mins if i want to compete in April as I don’t want to get on stage looking the same again and not sure if my rear is upto scratch. I know if I can bring it up I’ll be more competitive.
Will have to have a serious think but at-least I’ll be at a reasonable bf to push back up from

Just got back from a little road trip over to Ultraflex Rotherham.. WOW!
Was so awesome to be around those guys and girls that train in there.
Makes you appreciate that there are levels to this game.First thing I did when I got home was email UF to set up a dual membership between mine at Normanton and Rotherham so I can atleast get there twice a week.
Will be a god send in prep and just in general to progress.
Just a little top up back session today, nothing strenuous as I just wanted to go experience the gym and atmosphere.
Now I’m off work for a couple of weeks I’ll definitely be heading down a few times as it’s only around 40mins from me in Leeds.
The session was
Dual handle Lat pull down
Chest supported row
Single arm row
DB shrugs
DB bicep curl
Seated incline curl40mins cardio

it’s been a rough weekend, on Friday I went out which I haven’t done in such a long time and my drink ended up getting spiked so I was ill all weekend. Only just starting to feel normal now.
Haven’t been able to train but stuck to rest day food but haven’t been that hungry so just ate what I could. Going back to training tomorrow checked in this morning no changes made just keep ticking all the boxes and getting everything done, with me nothing is ever plain sailing haha ?

103 Days Almost down to double digits!!
Last day of work today and its half day so 11:30am can’t come quick enough!
Even though i am in prep, i can’t wait to spend some time off with my wife and children. My two eldest daughters are coming for a week so it will be nice for them to spend time with their brothers and I have missed them lots since moving back up north.
Still in this skinny fat stages..my body always looks wank in this initial stage, where i just look small lol. I expect it is primarily where i took quite a while off and let body relax so even though start point was good, body composition wasn’t great.
Chest session last night was a good one, got a very good pump all over and nice and sore today.
For me, strength doesn’t correlate to muscle tissue with my chest as i can easily press, 4,5,6 plates a side for reps on majority of lifts so last night i kept the routine the same but rest my numbers and put more emphasis on feeling the chest working through the entire range.
The session was:
Decline hammer press 3 x 10
Incline BB 10, 10
machine press 9, 12
pec dec 2 lots of 21s
cable pushdown
behind head ez ext
machine dips
I don’t track tris as i go by feel on the day – one day it maybe 1 set or even 3.

Evening guys!
Before i get my head down i wanted to fill you in on a few bits! firstly the leg day workshop was a massive success, Everyone involved loved it and took some great tips fro today!
Secondly I am announcing that i have teamed u the Callum Raistrick as my new coach Who will be taking control of everything so we can secure the pro card in 2022! We have a very clear vision of what we want to achieve and we are leaving no stone unturned in order for that to happen.
I will be parting ways on very very good terms with Josh Maley. We have had a very successful 2 and half years together built on trust, respect, honesty hard work and made some fantastic progress. I love the man to bits and respect him as a friend and coach. I could thank or recommend him enough for what he has instilled into me. We decided to part ways after a check in 3-4 weeks ago when i sent over my plans for next year. Which will see us competing against each other in the same shows. So Josh brought up the potential added stress this may cause us both not from our end as we are both professionals but what the industry may think. If there ever was a time to move it was now so Callum can get used to my body and we can have a full off season together. Callum is someone Josh trusts and respects so it was the natural move.
The fire was lit……But now its been turned up a notch!
Leg day tomorrow! lets get it!
Looking forward to seeing the progress you make under Callum, he has been making some serious waves with this clients these past couple of years.

Joined my local JD gym today just for my top up sessions or just for my cardio as it’s a 1 hour round trip to ultraflex from my house so pointless having a long journey just for cardio.

Lying ham 3 x 15
RDL 5, 12
Single arm pull down 9, 12

Rest day yesterday so did the usual family things and took the kids to a breakfast with Santa.. sounds more appealing than it was, as you had a typical Toby carvery cooked breakfast then after you got to go see Santa behind a rubbish curtain lol.. no music playing, no decorations or anything so was awful.
Just sat and watched the live streams from the NPC nationals and that’s fired me up like mad.
In the gym later for density day (back and ham)

106 Days Check in day
1.7lb drop this week so a little adjustment to food has been made to keep progression and also minimise any damage from having Christmas Day off plan so I can enjoy it with my wife and kids before a big push forward
TD 20g pro, 35g carb and 10g fat been taken away
NTD 40g pro, 10g carb, 20g fat taken away
Current macros are now
TD – 325 pro, 565 carb, 78 fat
NTD – 321 pro, 437 carb, 84 fatCardio upped to 40mins stairs daily.
Stairs absolutely wreck my hip flexors but will power through.
No changes to drugs so still just Test and Eq

Friday is here!!
It has been a really good week and things are progressing nicely now, more definition and vascularity showing through, and also waist is pulling in.
Check in tomorrow so will see what the pics/weight say but considering food hasn’t changed and haven’t introduced any fat burners its looking positive already.
Had a really good back session last night, numbers were not ground breaking but the form/tempo were spot on.
Still not having any joy with deads, for some reason they cause me alot of pain/issues and my strength on them has halved where 180kg feels heavy AF so first set in a swapped it out as i know it would have affected the rest of my session.
<font face=”inherit”>My </font>therapist<font face=”inherit”> said i had a very swollen erector on </font>Wednesday<font face=”inherit”> so perhaps i could have an underlying issue somewhere.</font>
I will be doing RDL on Sunday anyway so not too much of an issue missing deads today
The session
Cable pull over (sat on incline bench) 15,12
Bent over row (smith) 12, 12, 9
Dual low row 10, 12
Atlantis pulldown 12, 12
EZ bar cable curl 15, 15 + 21s
DB preacher curl 10
35mins cardio

Rest day yesterday and i’ve had three days off of work so took my children to Santa’s grotto and then took my 3yr old son to watch the new Spider-Man movie that came out yesterday. Even though he is little and wouldn’t understand it, he is Spider-Man mad. You name it, he’s got it. So it was nice to take him and let him enjoy the Spidey bits.
Was a cracking film, i would highly recommend!!
had some deep tissue last night which was very much needed and booked in again for next week so that should see me through until after xmas.
In for back tonight 🙂

110/109 days
I am still having lots of issues with my knee where I tore my ACL and had surgery so hack/pendulum/squats give me really sharp stabbing knee pain so can’t go heavy at all on these anymore but will work around it.
Could potentially have to get it looked at again, when I had the surgery surgeon said it would be likely I’ll need a reconstruction at some point so will have to do what I can
However each session is becoming more and more precise as 4 weeks of prep has passed and everything is just zoned in without thought atm.
Solid chest session on Monday – took some good numbers and log book progression and tonights legs was very good.
Considering I hit hams a touch on Sunday it didn’t impact my recovery for today at all so keep that as it is.
Session tonight was
Seated calf press 12, 15
Seated ham 12, 15
Pendulum 9, 12
Kettlebell split squat 10, 10
Leg ext 6 x 4
Walking lunges 15, 15
Adductors 1235 mins cardio.

Very good back and ham top up session yesterday.
All numbers/reps up from previous week.

Session was.
Lying ham 15, 13, 15
RDL 5, 5, 12
Iso lateral row 7, 12
Close grip Pulldown 9, 12
