    It’s our last day here in Alicante. Yesterday was another beautiful day and it’s set to be hotter today, so we’re going to make the most of it before we return to the UK!

    For me personally. I’d do 1 serving of magnesium on wake, 1 serving of magnesium post workout and Dream Sleep pre bed.

    Nothing wrong with continuing to get soft tissue treatment during prep and will only be beneficial, unless you have a therapist who doesn’t know what they’re doing!

    The only advice I’d give is to stop it a week to a few days out to prevent any remaining inflammation on show day.

    We visited the old town today and had a wander around, stopped for lunch, and then spent the rest of the day on the beach. I’ve been out for my early run this morning, had breakfast, and we’re now chilling by the pool looking out to sea and planning the day ahead.. heaven!

    I would push it for the last 4-5 weeks and get in and out, so that you don’t waste any more growing time.

    I would increase steps to 13,000 and LISS cardio to 20 mins fasted, daily.

    Reduce TD and RD cals by 500-600 (Carbs mainly).

    Take Kuba’s advice on SLU.

    Yesterday was filled with lots of walking, exploring and eating good food. My mindset towards the gym and eating is so much more relaxed now when on holiday. I love my early morning runs, but I’m so much more in the moment with everything. Being regimented and disciplined to a routine certainly served a purpose in my competitive bodybuilding days, but now able to say yes more, just relax when I want to and enjoy the people I’m with. That being said, I’m still very much aware of what I eat, and my fitness and health, it’s just not surrounded with stress.

    Just take things more slowly this time around. Aim to drop 0.5-1lb per week. Monitor your scale weight, physique and performance and make changes if fat loss stalls after each week or two by increasing output/reducing calories as needed to continue a steady drop.

    We had a lovely, chilled relaxing day at the beach yesterday and ate some good food. We plan to do a little more walking and exploring today. I got out for my early morning run this morning and watched the sunrise 🙂

    It’s very rare I feel any one should train obliques.

    Forearms yes if you find you have grip issues and/or very small forearms

    I’m with Hilly on thiis. I rarely see a need otherwise.

    We arrived in Alicante yesterday lunch time. The hotel and setting is beautiful and we are staying in a little bungalow style room looking straight out to the sea, which is stunning!

    I started the day with a 5km beach run this morning and now enjoying the hotel breakfast (best bit of a holiday!)

    Be patient, listen to your body and only do movements that cause no pain or aggravate. You don’t ‘have’ to do any exercise, so don’t feel you need to include these in your programme right now. Machine alternatives may be the answer until you build some more strength and stability around the injured area.

    Make sure your volume and recovery days work for you too and react if you need more rest or need to adjust your programming.

    I would start with Clen at 20mcg on wake. Wait 2 weeks before titrating up.

    Yohimbine I don’t think is worth it, but if you do want to try it then start low at 2mg, building up to a max dose of 0.2mg per kg bodyweight.
