Legs today. Another good one. Strength felt good today and weights were up, not that this is my main aim any more, but still feels good to move some decent weight!

You need to be in a surplus in order to grow new muscle tissue, but that doesn’t mean that you need to overeat, binge or allow anything to get out of your control. Push food up gradually, initially having your biggest meals around the workout window, train hard and only make changes when training and/or bodyweight stalls for a couple of weeks. Don’t be afraid of food. Food is nourishment, health, energy for recovery and performance, and is necessary if you want to grow new muscle.

Today’s a typical Monday and a mixture of work, sorting the house, and setting myself up for the week ahead. I did a nice run first thing too.. I love running outside on a cold, dark, crisp morning!

I would keep ab training in the higher rep range personally. Pick a variation for each session and and tag them on the end, 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps +

This morning I did an upper session at the camp gym, then back home to spend some time with my family. A good session today. Bodyweight has also stopped dropping since adding a little more food to meals. I’ve also been having a few meals off plan recently, but managing to eat instinctively around those to keep my weight maintained.

1 a day isn’t likely to do much damage, so long as your gut isn’t sensitive to the ingredients. I personally don’t like to drink them as I prefer a black coffee for the caffeine hit and health benefits, but if you like them, then I don’t see a big issue.

Today’s been a nice, chilled rest day so far. A run this morning, followed by a few jobs around the house and a bit of work. I went out for a walk with my husband after lunch, and my daughter’s boyfriend is coming over later, so I’m going to be cooking for everyone then.

If you are falling asleep at 8pm and waking between 4-5am, that’s a solid 8-9 hours sleep! I wouldn’t be complaining about that, If you want to try and stay asleep longer in the morning, then try going to bed later the night before.

Legs again today. I was excited to get in for this session today and I had a really good one. The gym was quiet, so headphones in and I was in my own little world!

This afternoon I’ve had some work to get stuck into, so I’ll continue to do that before I head out for a rainy walk later.

This is common once you get very lean. All you can really do is make sure you do everything you can to set yourself up for the best sleep you can get.

Create a good bed time routine with limited screen exposure, blackout blinds, cool room etc. Taper off your fluid intake towards the end of the evening and eat a meal pre bed, preferably with carbs, fats and protein.

Eye masks and ear plugs can be beneficial or using some white noise or a fan for distraction.

Take a full dose of Dream Sleep 30 mins before you go to bed. This can really help to induce sleep and keep you from waking.

How often do you have to do these early morning shifts?

I would look to tidy up now. Then come back up at a slower rate focusing on staying leaner before dropping back into a cut for the Holiday and putting yourself in a position to be bigger and leaner than ever

This would be my approach too.

Today has been a rest day from training. I did a 7km run this morning, then got on with a bit of work before heading for a hair appointment. I’m back home now and will get stuck into some course work before going out for a walk. My body feels so much better after the massage and yoga yesterday and I’m excited to get back in the gym tomorrow.

All of the tbJP Athletes are reputable coaches and fantastic at what they do, so take a look at their work and see who you align and relate to the most, then go from there.

This morning I went to my Yoga session, and then on to get a full body massage. This was exactly what I needed as I was beginning to feel tight and niggled. I feel much more relaxed and ‘freed’ up now. The Yoga is helping with my mobility too.

This afternoon I’ve been getting on with work and my courses, and will get out for a walk at some point when I need a break.
