Another rest day and checked in with Jordan to give him an update. The pain has eased even more today and I’m moving a lot more freely, so I’m definitely on the mend. Sudden movements and twisting aren’t great (Sneezing is the worst.. and obviously I need to sneeze more than I ever have!) and standing for too long causes some aching, but I’m confident I can get back to doing some light gym work in the next few days. I’ve been taking 2 capsules of CURE-COMING, along with JOIN-IN twice a day on an empty stomach and sticking to my rest day diet.
I got in to work today to train some clients too and apart from a bit of aching from standing for a prolonged period, all went well 🙂

Having a coach can be very beneficial for numerous reasons, but I also believe that spending some time learning your own body and trying things out by yourself can teach you a lot. I prepped myself for my first few shows and made many mistakes, but I also learnt a hell of a lot along the way.
My advice would be to spend some time building muscle and to trial a cut by yourself using the knowledge you have, find out what works for you, enjoy experimenting and learn from the experience, then later down the line find a coach who can guide you into a show.
A coach takes away a lot of thinking and guess work, which is great, but having more knowledge about yourself also helps you to give good feedback and understand the process more.

You don’t necessarily need to go zero carb, no. It will very much be person dependant. Factors such as what your diet has been like throughout, how you are currently looking, how big you are, how depleted you already are and how quickly you flatten out will all factor in.
There’s no strict rule, but the majority will go low carb for a few days before adding carbs back in, the amounts however will vary.Instagram @ClareBarksPT | tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Pain is easing every day, but still not safe to train yet, so I just have to be patient and ride it out. I’m missing training SO much and feel like a soft blob! Times like these when I’m forced to have time off, makes me realise what a huge part of my life and enjoyment comes from the gym.
I need to catch up with clients that I’ve let down this week, so I’m going to attempt to go into work today. Being on my feet too long is still uncomfortable, so hopefully I can make it through if I take rests in between. People have to deal with a hell of a lot more than this, so I need to suck it up and remember this.

Are you progressing in the gym? How is stress outside the gym? You may need to increase your calories.

There is definite progress, I just feel like crap like lethargy and depression. But normally I’m a happy dude [/quote]
Difficult to say then. Sounds like it could potentially be external stresses

No problem at all. Like Corinne said, if you digest it well and it fits within your macro allowance, then I don’t see an issue. I love a post workout bagel ????

It might be more down to your exercise selection and set up. What do your workouts and split look like?

Rest day.. again! The pain has eased a little more today, but it’s still there. I’m looking at a few more days off training for sure. The mental side of dealing with an injury is tough. It’s very difficult having a lot of time on my hands to think and be unproductive. It’s easy to get into a negative state, but I’ve found ways to keep my mind away from what’s happened and to focus on recovery and the future and not the what ifs of the past.
I may actually do a topic video on this and discuss how I’ve dealt with it.Instagram @ClareBarksPT | tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

I guess it depends on your biomechanics, how wide you are and the height of the cable. You need to be able to get full extension and sometimes a shorter rope won’t allow this, particularly if you have a larger physique and you can’t get the rope wide enough to get that full extension. Just pick the one that suits you best.

Last leg session around a week out, then get in 2 or 3 upper body sessions. Don’t worry about selecting specific body parts.
