No real weight change at all this week but things are looking alot tighter.
Rumours of a snap 7 day lockdown where I live potentially today. So we will see what the news brings. Can’t change anything only thing I can control is my diet and training.
Just finished 35 minutes stairs and abs before PT clients big day coming up.

Push day ✅
Holding numbers nicely. And a few Pr’s at 10 weeks out.
Have really refined my pressing as I have no chest at all. And I know that when I get back to growing I will make major steps forward in chest development now I’m not just chasing load.
Gone from pressing 50’s + to 45’s but will better control , depth, tempo. So once the food is back up I know I will finally start developing a chest.
Everything else is ticking along haven’t had a new low since last Tuesday but I’m still down on average. So I’m not stressed the drop will come.
Few photos post push.
Pull tomorrow and than rest Wednesday dead’s tomorrow ??

You have a great physique mate, really quality and you would do very well on stage. I think it says a lot about someone who can diet to the extreme you have to not get on stage. I don’t know if I would have that mental toughness if there wasn’t the end goal of getting on stage.
So fair play to you my man !!
Wow,thanks man. Appreciate that. Its not that tough if you love what you doing. Was told that few times but no desire for stage,like process itself more i guess. Very interested how is your show will go. Will look here for sure.[/quote]
Well kudos to you mate, very inspiring.
Who knows maybe one day you’ll jump in if not do it because you love it which is awesome.Thankyou for the support man will be all updated in this log

168.8 (new low) – Push
Feel a bit weird as these last 4-5 days have felt easier than ever, almost like a surge in energy, yet I’m waking leaner everyday. I think the small adjustments in volume within sessions just brought down training fatigue enough to make me feel very good on a daily basis.
The 160s for me is a place where I am pretty lean but also very strong , I competed at 163 in Italy last year (still too soft in glutes hams) but was very strong all the way in
This year I know I’m gonna have to visit the 150s to get legit contest ready the way I want to look, but with the current pace and trajectory that’s looking like a smooth process ?
Ready to get after push today!
Really excited to see how you handle this next phase AJ, the body weight seems to be flying off.
Obviously what happens when you handle everything so meticulously and def opens my eyes so much on how I can improve in my next growth phase and before my next diet.
Just wanted to drop in and give you more encouragement (not that you need it) of all on the site you are one of my favourites to follow for sure. Keep smashing it.

Hey mate , how many weeks are you out from your Comp now ??
-
Thank you mate really appreciate it. I’m coaching myself and have really been questioning if I am on track so that’s some really good feedback. Obviously I know I still have a long way to go but least good to know conditioning is on track.
I never compete myself, just an amateur with passion but i don’t think that im wrong with that statement. Good luck!???[/quote]

PUsh today :
Flat hammer chest press x 2
Incline smithx2
Weighted dips x 2
Shoulder pressx2
Dbell pec flies x 2
Dbell lateral raise x 2
Tricep pushdown x 2
Lateral raise machine x2Followed by 30 minutes pwo cardio. Not ideal, but I start clients at 5 am and finish tonight at 7pm so the only time I could get it in.
I see a lot of discussion on here about optimal recovery and fatigue management and such and I agree with everything but unfortunately my life is not yet set up that I can always do cardio away from training. And have absolute optimal everything it will be eventually but for now I’d rather do some post workout cardio and potentially lose some strength/ muscle through prep if it means I’m peeled rather be scared of potentially losing a bit of muscle and get on stage fat. No thank you.Tomorrow we have pull than rest Wednesday
Picture some vascularity coming through which is nice.
