DB cable single are preacher 1 set
Bicep machine 1 set
Volume is still low as we enter early prep with this illness to ensure recovery demands are met. -
Good back session yesterday, still struggling from this sinus infection, been trying to sleep more to overcome it quicker but it’s not shaking.
It’s going around at the minute and seems to be taking 4-6 weeks to shift so just gotta battle through in the early stages of this prep. -
Hi Jamie, did you suffer with a high or slightly elevated blood pressure during offseason? What is your health supps to keep it in range?
Hey buddy BP was higher but in range. Definitely think Health supps contributed to controlling it 🙂
Health supp wise I was using JP lover heart, cure cumin, halcyon, supp needs liver and kidney stack.
Obviously loads of water too and a bit of light cardio daily ???????? -
Stress key supp – halcyon
Inflammation – cure cumin
Heart health – love heart and omegas
GDA for carbs – in sure
Intra – sustain and mps
Plus your creatine ???????? -
Firstly adjust your diet so you don’t miss it, so make these meals quick and easy even shakes so you’re bang on each day.
If you do miss I would spread them across the day mainly around the workout and even intra but as a rule you want ultimate consistency so your not always stressing and thinking about what you need to eat and how to correct your mistakes.
Just make it as easy as possible ???????? -
Hey buddy I’d simply drop the cardio around training days and perform some cardio based activity starting at 1 x 30 minute block per day from running, cycling, stepper etc for endurance
Then hit weights 4 x per week. Along with a good diet this will work and you can alter variables as you progress and push more. -
Sorry for the additional question Jamie, but when your BG does get high, what steps do you take to lower it.
I know lots of guys who push food and overall carbs pretty high in the offseason. And once they are trying to hold a weight steady, they realize their BG is starting to rise up into the 90-100s. What’s the best way to continue to hold your mass while controlling BG? Is it just GDA’s EVERY carb meal, a long-acting insulin during the day? What are your thoughts?My thoughts are long acting insulin and gdas like Jordan’s insure will keep you in the best position possible. That with a little cardio and spacing meals correctly ????????

Hey Jamie, question for ya—
Are you taking some sort of insulin (range changes of course) almost all year?
I’m a huge fan of intra-WO nutrition and monitor my BG regularly, but i just started my cruise and im wondering if taking some time off insulin is a good idea. Ive basically used slin throughout my blast/cruise for a year and my BG has been fine…just wondering if some OFF time is necessary or what.Insulin is fine to run year round buddy. I use fast slin for peri window all year in all phases. Even in my prep and we will only drop off condition is suffering but I know from past exp I’m ok running this.
Slow slin for off season in the form of tresiba or lantus but dropped out for prep as a precaution for retaining water more than anything ???????? -
Rest day today but not done much because of this bloody sinus infection, bloody right side of my face is killing.
But anyway we soldier on.
Jay Magiceye media is coming over tomorrow for a day in the life for my YouTube then we’re filming a big push workout for the site ???????? -
I don’t think that little amount will effect much buddy but like anything your diet and calories in and out will have the most profound effect on your composition.
-
I wouldn’t class intra as a meal in your 6 meals buddy. I would add an extra training day meal. Then on rest days you still have 6 meals.
Like Hilly says 15-25g EAA from mps and 25g carbs from sustain to start and build from there ???????? -
Another point of somebody out there struggles with lower back or leg/hip issues I’ve found that a hot bath after every pull or leg workout helps so much. I also have a much better night sleep and quicker recovery.
Research HEAT STRESS benefits ???????? -
Session was
Seated curl 2 sets
DB RDL 1 set save the lower back
Leg press 1 set
Leg ext 2 sets back off weight 20 rep first set 10 rep added weight final set like this for knee health
Glute bridge to finish 2 sets
8 sets total, as I get fitter I will push more but as I said above the key is strong heavy fucking balls out progressive sessions and more sets would have zero benefit right now. -
First of all fucking hats off to @jordan-peters that fucking edit of legs looks fucking serious pardon the French ????????
If you don’t get motivated from this site and the people on it, take up golf ????
That was all I needed to take my session to another place tonight. Music crashed before my top set but I did a 540kg controlled leg press for 11+1 which is an all time best.
I’m so excited to have started prep at all time peak strength across the board with new muscle.
Now my volume and recovery gets clinical to preserve tissue and grow some fucking more! -
I found as well that crumpets or bagels with jam post was much easier than a load of cereal.
