I wouldn’t write off your plan just after your second rotation. I’d give it a bit of time to get settled into the plan and then re-assess.

Peptopro is your protein source, so how about adding a flavoured carb like Cyclic dextrin or the JP Sustain? Perfect Intra 🙂

I’d just add hot water to the oats, but just a small amount so that they’re still quite stodgy.. and then add a scoop of Beef Isolate.

Very long, but enjoyable day today filming content for the site. We covered some interesting discussion topics and I jumped in on @ryanpetford ‘s Pull session which was all filmed by the lovely @rebecca . I’m still feeling pretty exhausted off the back of competing, so I apologise in advance for the lack of intensity and baby weights that were lifted, which goes completely against the JP ethos ..haha! but needs must and I need to be sensible. My bodyfat levels are still very low, immune system is likely suppressed and joints potentially still a little dehydrated, so I just wanted to get some blood flow moving, shuttle some carbs around and get a little pump on. I actually feel a lot better having done that too, so I’m pleased that I decided to join in.

My diet today is still around the 40c/40p/10f macro split over 6 meals, but with the addition of an intra workout drink with 30g MPS Max and 20g Sustain.

I’ve just had my new plans sent through from Jordan, so will share them as I go and what my diet and training plan is going to look like going forward.

Any questions… fire away 🙂

What’s in the health shake? Just take your muti vits with your evening meal instead

Possibly a blood sugar issue, using stimulants or drinking coffee or it could be just exhaustion from the low calories, sleep deprivation or output you’re doing. Prep doesn’t make you feel great, particularly as your bodyfat levels drop lower and lower.

Resting up again today. I went back into work to catch up and train a few clients, but apart from that I’m chilling as much as possible. I’m following a macro split of 40c/40p/10f over 6 meals today after 2 days completely off plan. I’ll be getting my new diet plans through from Jordan soon, so will switch to that as soon as I do. (I much prefer following a set plan as opposed to choosing foods to fit a macro split).
Despite the extra food, I’m still ridiculously hungry constantly, but I know my hunger hormones will be all over the place, so need to be mindful of that as this is how people end up binging and overeating. We want to ramp the calories back up, but we also need to implement some self control and common sense. I’m 2.5kg up at the moment from where my weight was on the morning of the show.

Tomorrow I’ll be going over to Primitive Gym to film some topic discussions with @rebecca and either train with @ryanpetford or cheer him along from the side lines! (I’ll gauge tomorrow how I feel as I still feel pretty exhausted today).

Hydration can be a factor, but you also want to make sure that your electrolytes are adequate. Too much caffeine can also be a cause as can high blood pressure. Make sure you get yourself checked out by a doctor if it continues, otherwise it’s just guess work.

Whew, welcome back! How was the chilli con carne? Well worth the wait I bet!

Very interesting to read your post show reflection as it’s the most difficult time to reflect in an honest manner. As long as you know, there’s no stone left unturned and you worked as hard as you could then it’s just a matter of time + making the necessary improvements.

At least we know you were in condition, no doubt about that! Enjoy the downtime as I’m sure the next phase will be a killer. I sense Pivotal Reps on the horizon

———–

Chilli con carni was GOOOOD! Was nice to have a few treats off plan too, but I’m ready to get back to my usual food today…. Just more of it!

I’ll be recording a summary video tomorrow about my competition, but essentially the results are the results. I did as much as I could with what I have, so we accept and move on and strive to come back better. Nothing like a knock back to fuel the fire!

Looking forward to getting stuck into my next training phase.. and yes, I’m sure there’ll be a few pivotal reps thrown to challenge me!

Rice cakes or baby rice tend to digest well with some whey isolate.

Hi Clare, I’m doing baby rice with isolate pre workout.
Sorry I don’t mean what to eat right after post workout. I mean more post post workout like actual meal ahaha[/quote]

Sounds like you don’t have many options. You need to pick foods that you know you can digest. It’s not about taste at 6 weeks out, you need to simply do what you need to do.

You can’t alter you structure, but you can create an illusion by building your Lats/Delts/Legs, practicing vacuums like the others have suggested and being clever with your posing. @Ryanpetford would be the man for advice for everything Classic Physique.
