    It’s been a good weekend/week so far, work is doable and I am less stressed.

    Feeling better after 3 lots of antibiotics, theres just something going around that isnt flu or covid, the GP and Chemist both agreed, I ofc took the flu vaccine and I was fine til March, crazy times.

    I hit the heaviest conv deadlift raw, no straps in my life – I weighed 80.9kg in the morning and lifted 175kg, it wasn’t awfully bad either, more in the tank, 2.16 x bodyweight.

    Today is chest & tri’s after work, got my fitbit working and monitoring.

    Weighed 80.6kg this morning, so 4.6kg to lose.

    @victormihai thats a hell alot of supps to take and cash to dosh out mate.

    I agree the TBJP are great, when I started taking these I was quite impressed, the creatine and performance fuel are both helpful practically and the the side benefit is they taste nice.

    But it’s alot of dosh mate, you may be loaded and thats cool, your call, but I don’t see you needing all of that unless your literally doing stage/comp, which I don’t know, you may well be.

    @Clare

    I don’t count steps as I don’t have tech to track it but currently:

    – 15 min brisk walk fasted outside with my dog, daily.

    – No cardio in the gym at all.

    – Do brisk walking randomly for errands, all my exercise daily (apart from 1 day off) is lifting 1 – 2hrs.

    Full time job is at home sedentary.

    Hi @sasan85@hotmail.com currently only 200g carbs and tbh performance is fab, can’t argue.

    Going to cut most processed sugar and ofc calorie deficit, thanks for your response. I am still learning! 🙂

    Hey @jackedchainsaw35 appreciate I am unassisted but I am of the opinion of if using assisted stuff use a coach who can check in with you regularly. I do worry when I see stuff like this not because of being judgemental, far from it, just dont want to see you up in A&E.

    I can talk from a medication perspective, I met a psych in 2018 who gave me antipsychotic medication, I reacted with side effects, but nothing awful, my contact on Linkedin had the same med and suffered seizures.

    My point is that theres tonnes of factors and every persons body reacts differently. The education on here seems good regarding this but I think having a regular coach with specific knowledge would look after you alot more, do worry mate, thats all. But im not critising at all!

    @MarcHector Thanks Marc appreciate it fella, it motivates me to know I am slowly but surely getting there :-).

    I think I can drop a few more kilos, cals are about 2k – 2.2kish so I think dropping further into a deficit is doable at this stage. I’ll need to read up on the reverse dieting as I have heard of it but will need to see how it’s done, if I recall there is a video on it somewhere here!

    Btw, subscribed to your youtube and hope your shoulders doing ok mate, my fellow gym goer has tore his shoulders, been advised to get an op but said he hasnt got the time to do it, felt really bad for him, as shoulders are such a vital part we take for granted!

    Cheers @allisontestuhotmail-fr

    Worry about losing more weight and looking smaller but makes sense.
