Evening guys! Full weekend off the gym here as I’m been filming up with Giant, so only just getting home.

Entering the last week of the cruise from tomorrow, so I’m really ready to start this next phase. I’ve been in a bit of an intense tidy up these last couple of weeks, which has helped regain appetite if anything!

Big week ahead of training and shoots ahead. 2 more site video coming with an existing athlete and a new athlete 👀 Stay tuned!!

Hi Jay! I don’t know if you have said it but what’s your split look like? And what have you tried to bring up this offseason?

Hey Vic, thanks for the interest. So my split right now is:

Push A (Chest bias)
Posterior
Rest
Push B (Shoulder bias)
Legs
Back & Biceps

Main focuses were hamstrings, arms and over back thickness. Right now the physique is looking like these have been brought up nicely, so we shall see just how much in a few months when I’m into the prep!

Legs at the home gym Planet Fitness today. Contemplating relocating to a different gym, just due to the interruptions mid session with clients etc wanting to chat. The closer I get to prep, I know I’ll have to make the jump!

As nice as it is for people to be interested, when I’m so busy and that 2 hours is ‘my time’ out of the day it needs to be locked in and fully focused. We shall see…

Apart from that. The Cybex is ruining my life (& my knee) with week 3 at 6 plates for 6 reps and no more. It would be cool to see it go above that, but if there is no progression on that by next week it’s gone! Not really sure yet what to swap in instead of it.

The rest of the session was sick! I’m not really logging everything right now, just going to complete failure within rep ranges and being a little more ‘instinctive’ with it. If you watched my leg day video on the site today I talk about that a bit. Shoutout to anyone that has watched it!

Are you using knee sleeves for the cybex hack?[/quote]
Hey John, yes those are the strength shop Thor knee sleeves. Single ply aswell 👊🏼

Evening all. Just sitting down after a busy day of juggling editing, training and DIY 🤦🏻‍♂️

Doing the home office out at the moment, which makes me think I should have just got someone in to do it as I’m far to busy to be painting etc etc haha but we are almost there!

Pull/Hams today. Trained with one of the lads who’s 5 weeks out from his show, so it’s getting me itching to start prep myself now!

Podcast tomorrow with Mr.Joe Ballinger, which will be on my YouTube later this week 🫡

Thanks for taking the time to reply Magic, a helpful response.

Hope the pre push tidy up goes well, locked in and ready to go 💪

No problem at all, thanks for the support mate!

Afternoon guys! So we have an update…

We are having a pre-prep tidy as of today which is music to my ears right now. Definitely feeling like I need it after holding it here for quite some time. Weight was 256lbs on check in this week, but when looking at pics I thought ‘Yep, ready to diet’ haha

Cardio increased to 30 mins daily and also around 1000 calories taken off food intake. We are running this for 3 weeks which will be when we plan to push for 7/8 more weeks and then into prep. This for me is the start of prep. Mindset is fully locked in now and the better I can be over these next 10/11 weeks the better my prep will begin so I’m excited!

Enjoyed watching the new leg day video on YT Jay – as always cracking content.

I do think those of us with busy schedules who have to juggle training/food around work and family find you very relatable.

Looking good though dude, excited to see what 2025 brings you 🏅

Quick Q, when dieting I see a lot of people pushing their first meal back as far as possible.

I know you used to be part of the early morning crew on a regular basis – training circa 5am.

If you can only train early in the day (which is what my schedule allows for) I take it there is no way of pushing that first whole food meal back as it would be too long a gap between finishing training and trying to hold out till late morning.

Keen to hear your thoughts…

Thank you for watching mate I appreciate it! Will also be coming on the site this week aswell 😉

So when I used to train early (sometimes I still do depending on diary) I will still get my meals in on a usual timeline but possibly space out the meals a little longer (3 hours instead of 2.5). For example

7am – Meal 1 (Post-workout)
10am – Meal 2
1pm – Meal 3
4pm- Meal 4
7pm – Meal 5
10pm – Meal 6 (straight to bed)

Obviously this depends on calories you have to play with. If I’m on low food the back end of prep sometimes I’ll end up eating last meal around 8pm. Hope this helps!

LEGS 💀

Decent session. I had a sports massage this morning at 8am as I’ve feeling a little tight and ready to snap, but due to how busy my week has been it was pretty much straight to the gym after it. Optimal goes out the window when my weeks look like this!

It’s about doing what I have to do, around everything else I HAVE to do if that makes sense.

Session was decent as a whole. Still running the Cybex at 6 plates, a slightly better set than last week so we’ll take it. Everything else was up tho 👌🏼 Kept the pace high again today and judging by the dark grey t-shirt I walked out of the gym wearing work was done!

Just got back from a busy day! Up north with Big Nath and Pheebs to film some more bits for the site.

No training here, so just an early start on the computer with check in’s and some quick edits then hit the road.

We also had some of the other guys shooting the new TBJP clothing drop over at the TBJP gym so a busy day all round for the team 🔥
