Had a nice rest day today, just waiting for the burger and chips to cook;)
Had a bath to keep some blood in the knees lower back and legs ready for a big pull session tomorrow!
Gonna get my ass to ultra flex for a nice push from the boys!
Always make the effort to be around like minded people if you get the opportunity.

Hey buddy firstly I weigh all my food raw and do not ever count micro nutrients.
When I write a plan for someone I set the diet out and note the macros for each item which equate to a total at the bottom.
This is then our constant which is manipulated week on week.
The only time I note down two macros are red meats or oily fish for their protein and fat contents and actually dark chocolate as the fat to carb ratio is quite similar.
Keep it simple and effective ????????

what about whole eggs then? you don’t count the protein from that? just seems so arbitrary, where do you draw the line? And if you ever want to make a substitution you’re screwed. The reason I said it’s simpler is because there are apps that do this for you, so you’d have to go out of your way to tally it up on your own and not use one in order to do it this way[/quote]
Yes I do count fat in eggs. I know that a typical egg is 5g fat 6g protein so if I want to change I simply change for a protein source like whey and add additional fats it’s really easy.
You’re over complicating it and the fact so many of us here don’t count micros should give you an idea that it’s not essential to do so.
I imagine it’s more difficult to swap an apple out of your diet and match it up in terms of micros rather than just sub in something with 20g carbs?
We have all progressed like this, some to pro level. A lot of us including myself coach high level athletes who have won countless shows.
You don’t have to agree but this is how we do it and I don’t feel the need to count these tit bits.

I don’t count trace macros – I never have and I don’t for clients either
I use the same kinda foods for the negligible bits are constant
100g chicken for me is 20g of protein
100g oats is 60g of carbs
10g peanut butter is 5g of fat

What? That sounds absolutely ridiculous to me, why would you not count the protein in the peanut butter or fat in the oats? 100g oats are 60g carbs 7g fat and 12g protein, the fat and protein make up 32% of the total calories in the oats, that’s a huge amount and is going to throw your total calories way off. Obviously staying consistent is always number one but if you’re counting like this and decide to switch things up so you’re now eating white rice and olive oil instead of oats and peanut butter you’re going to be inadvertently dropping your protein intake by a significant margin as well. I just don’t see why you would count like this at all, especially since any calorie tracking app is just going to do all of these calculations for you. Or am i missing something here, just seems to needlessly complicate things and make comparisons with other people that base their diets on other foods impossible.[/quote]
How is only counting macros more complicated??
It’s actually much simpler.
I do it myself and with all my clients.
The only foods I’ll put 2 macros for is fatty meat like steak and salmon where I will note fats and protein as there likely to impact calories on a bigger scale but also a highlight of fats if we need to lower them later in the plan.
If your consistent with how you track your food either way won’t make a difference but this way is much much easier and very effective.
Hey me and Corinne are Professional athletes but you can count ALL your nutrients if you feel the need.

I have my clients use right up if progress is ok and we cut 2 days out from contest when training stops and we’re in loading Whole Foods ????????

[jamie christian-johal]

I’d just have 50-100g greens each meal now. Tomatoes and peppers aren’t the best source for sugar content at last stages of Prep ????????

[jamie christian-johal]

Session was:
Glute bridge
Lying ham curl
Pendulum
Leg ext
Uni lateral leg press
Seated ham curl
Seated calf
Frazzled
All sets 1 work 1 back off
Leg ext was one drop set ????????

[jamie christian-johal]

Today was a good day!
Feeling pretty beat from last two days sessions pull and push but mentally had to charge my shit for legs!!
We came, we saw and we progressed ????
One thing we are heavily targeting at the moment is form which should always be the overriding goal right, to lift heavy ass weights with good form.
BUT sometimes we can move a weight with perceived good form but lose the contraction and the feel of the movement entirely as we’re not mentally engaged as we should be.
SO going into each work set now we’re putting a massive emphasis around feeling the weight in the right places.
A little tip for a better contraction is a slight pause at the end of every negative – pause – reset – breath in – powerful contraction.
Try it ????????

What does the increment look like on the 180 dumbbells

How long does it take you to warm up to those 180s?

I did a warm up sets like this
50lb 15 reps
70lb 10 reps
110lb 3 reps
150lb 2 reps
KABOOM

[jamie christian-johal]

I have nespresso with llor pods man ????????

[jamie christian-johal]

Recorded tonight with Bex and turned out to be a very good session ????
The elusive 180lb DB’s went up in a fashion for 4 reps, 2 of which were fully mine.
Man they were fucking heavy but was great to get my hands on the bastards!!

[jamie christian-johal]

love how regular you are with these updates. keep pushing. looking like a great off season so far mate. also random question but what super market cookies do you go for?

Haha no problem man all part of the site ????????
Today I have chocolate toffee fudge from Asda ????

[jamie christian-johal]

Today was pull day after a rest day yesterday.
Trap bar deadlifts were on the menu and I’ll be honest after seeing Corinne’s effort of 5 reps on 225kg I was worried, what a mental weight but the bosses are leading from the front as always

Corinne has put trap bar deads in my training plan too, not good when she posts a video of her pulling that weight haha
