Have you carried on bulking even on low test Joe
Hmmm I wouldn’t call it bulking more like maintenance really. Sat just over 4k cals which is around maintenance for me. Dont wanna get really soft makes no sense to do that so just trying to hold decent composition and should be really sensitive when im ready to hop back on 🙏

Another very good back session today down at kings. Also booked in for my fertility test in London next week. I’m excited but also a big nervous for it. Been on the fertility plan now for months and months and 300 test since May. So I’m praying for good news but I’ll keep you guys posted 🙏

Maybe just a diff brand as well. Sometimes just switching that can help. You’ll know right away if it’s the brand or just GH in general if you switch.

Leg day again today and coming back from my back injury it was an ok session. Ngl my back twinged towards the back end of my top set so left that there and then pendulum also felt off so also left that. Did lots of extension. A good few hammy sets and some heavy adductor and calf because there’s zero pain there. It’s getting there, bit by bit.

Yeah as always of weight isn’t moving after a few days (give it at least a week to assess) then it’s time to bump up again

Cooked Nancy and I a homemade curry tonight. Ngl I don’t cook ever (aside from prep sruff) so this was a bit of first for me. Ngl it turned out pretty banging tbf! And actually enjoyed doing it so think I’m going to cook a little bit more perhaps… if Nancy let’s me because she’s the real chef 😂 that aside a normal day really, training and working and same again tomorrow!

Sunday rest day done and now prepped and ready for the week ahead. Work and training should all be back to full swing which I’m looking forward to. Back is pretty much better now and not had a peep out of it now!

Went down to the new Muscleworks today in Southwark. Was impressed with what they’ve done there in a pretty cool space as well. Lots set out nicely into body part sections. Also a really cool touch was having all Olympia winners pics on the wall from the first to the most recent – all 19 of them! Which was class. I trained upper and used a good handful of kit in there. Class session, and look forward to heading back again soon.

Legs, obviously wasn’t going to be setting any records in this first one back doing legs. I wanted to see if anything hurt first. And nothing did so that’s a win in itself. I kept it simple and in the 15 rep range so weight was moderate, session was lying ham, leg ext, seated leg press, 45 leg press, adductor, calf
The big win was again no pain and I can only build from here! Let’s see how the rest of the week goes!

Back in the gym today and honestly it was ok. Not good. Not bad. Ok. I went in with the mindset to just get a pump and not re hurt myself. So in that sense mission accomplished. Going to build up this week for a few days and next week start ramping shit up again. Going to have to look at my leg training while I’m off cycle, as my body clearly doesn’t wanna do what I was doing.

So after multiple chiro sessions and a deep tissue today I think I’m good to go again. It’s such a weird one with my back because it’s something I really can’t rush and need to be careful with so I do take my time. But we’re nearly in a fresh week and I’m ready to get cracking again thank the lord 😂🙏

Off to chiro again tomorrow and hopefully fingers crossed I’ll be able to get back into the gym. It’s deffo feeling better so hopefully we’re nearly good to go. Just been working and eating and sleeping it feels like – not a fan of this routine without the gym! 😂

5th day of no training now. Back in for my 3rd chiro session in 6 days tomorrow. I did feel a touch better after the session on Monday so hoping tomorrow’s session makes it better so I can get back in the gym towards the end of the week. That would be ideal 🙏

Another day of no training because of my back issue, been on since Thursday now. I went in to see the chiro again today and he was able to get some cracks out of my lower back which didn’t budge on the first session last Friday. The cracks felt so good like I needed it! But been sore all day.
Deffo still can’t train, can’t even sit down properly so yeah trainings out the window. I have stood all day at my standing desk which has been good for not compressing my lower back.
Fingers crossed I start to feel better soon 🙏
