3 days out, time is absolutely flying by now
Photo from yesterday post workout I’m very very happy with. This seems to be the weight I need for a good balance of full and “dry” at 86kg. 5kg up from my lowest in my first prep although at least 5kg of fat less as well lol
Plan for today is rest, steps at 8k and food remains the same as it has done for the last 10 days.
Sleep finally improved, energy and mood so far today in a fantastic spot. Really spending a lot of the day not feeling like I’m on prep, even sex drive is making a come back after what feels like a lifetime.

4 days out – little weight drop but seems to be water rather than fullness
High stress yesterday that ended in me having a proper wobble about being ready. Work related but then spilled over when traffic meant it would be a 2 hour trip to the gym one way, went to a local place for it to be closed, ended up in a less than ideal facility but made it work.
Pretty shocking sleep last night but it is what it is, hoping for some naps through the day.
BUT pulled myself around and this mornings, check in shots are the best me again.
Pulling steps down today, orders from Kuba are to pose eat and train but nothing else which sounds very good to me.

Just wanted to chip in and say the look at the weekend was immense and win was incredibly well deserved. Excited to see how the next one goes, good luck!

I’d check the quality of your tap water, you can get pretty cheap ones online (amazon etc). Living in Scotland I get pretty good quality water, when I lived in London I’d probably have preferred to drink puddles on the street over what came out my tap.

Phenomenal improvement since last year.You are already a winner since you are so much better
Exactly how I feel 🤝
It is obviously a competition but at the point I’m at placing is really irrelevant (although it would be a nice bonus). Really proud of I how it’s come along

Hey buddy! How you feeling? What’s the plan for this week?
Feeling really really good currently, energy has made a big come back today
Lighter push session today, pull tomorrow then back in on Friday for upper body/arms then travel down to Manchester Saturday. Normally I’m someone stressing out about travel and planning but Kubas done a great job of taking that pressure off

Thought I’d post some comparisons of my first showing in 2020 vs todays photos. Mostly as just motivation for myself. We all know the progression element of bodybuilding is key to why we do it – and progress has certainly been made

6 days out
Legs yesterday was exactly what I wanted out of the session. Nice pump, just kept calm and collected going into the set and made sure not to “send” anything. kubas attention to detail and specifics on how to approach the sets was absolutely spot on. Without trying to sound like a shill his coaching is literally another level.
Expenditure yesterday went higher than I’d have planned thanks to spending some time with friends and family – the positive is it was very low impact “steps”, not the usual power walking steps I’d count.
Rest today and some light massage work this evening. Plan is to get around 5k steps. Food remains high as it has been for the last week. Finally added it in myfitnesspal and comes to 4300 kcal (without intra) which I was very pleasantly surprised at. The inner fatty in me is still screaming for off plan meals but we all know that is the reality of 19+ weeks of dieting without any. Hot topic in the industry right now but I do feel my results speak for themselves in that they are not a requirement for most competitors (although for the big boys with stage weights 230lbs+ I totally see the logic)
Weight down a little today but looks like inflammation as the look is improved. Very very excited to get on stage and showcase the improvements made since my first timers show.

The issue I find with a lot of the educational stuff is there are some very strong opinions that often aren’t as black and white as presented so take them with a pinch of salt
Anything dr Scott is going to be great same with John Jewet. Past that I see it more as entertainment
