Jordan had a look over me today at the gym and he was happy and size and condition – so this makes me happy too haha always good to hear from the boss. Not sure what the plan is this week as we take each day by day and react to what we see but I’ll be sure to keep you all posted ?

Last leg day today! Was a really good session tbf, still holding good strength and the volume of the session was perfect compared to how I feel – so should recover nicely. And now we let the legs relax and come in nice and sharp over the next few days before the show. Feeling good 🙂

Agreed with the guys if it feels bad then drop it and potentially look to replace it with a like minded exercise in your next session

What Clare just said is probs one of the best most accurate ways to do it. Of course may take a little while to get nailed on but you know it’ll be perfect for you.

Very much needed rest day today and I feel great for it. Got lots of work done, had some deep tissue too on my legs which was great.
I have another deep tissue session Friday evening and then my final leg session on Saturday so we have a whole week then for them to recover for the show and dry out. Volume will be low for sure on that session.
Into the final 10 days tomorrow and really feeling excited now. Can’t wait to showcase what I’ve been working so hard to build this past year

Feeling the pinch a little bit now food has come down a touch. But we’re all good still feeling pretty full and nicely lean all things considered
Steps still at 8k, drugs the same. We’re cruising in now ?

I’m the same as you buddy. I sit lower and feel stronger here – so long as you feel the movement in the intended muscle, then it doesn’t matter. It will be different for everyone.

I think you answered your own question there bud. The gut will be pulling blood for it to work effectively meaning less blood/oxygen/glycogen for the working muscles meaning Less of a pump and of course impacted performance which is not optimal. Digest your food first and then train. This amount of time will differ person to person and of course based on the amount of food you actually eat.

So my penultimate leg day today and trained with jimmy at ultra flex. Was a good session. Low volume with no forced reps or intensifiers at this stage to allow for adequate recovery
The session was:
Lying ham x 2
Leg ext x 1
Hack x 1
Single leg press x 1
Kneeling ham curl x 1
Adductor x 1We also did ALOT of posing which has taken it out of me tbf. But getting better now everyday. 13 days out now and really looking forward to getting on stage and battling it out with the best of Britain!

You can deffo still get a good workout in. Perhaps for a shorter period of time you could do a body part split until you find a new gym. That way you know you can batter a single muscle group in an hour. If recovery allows it then you can incorporate drops and rest pauses to increase volume. It may seem a little like ‘pump’ training but probs better than a lot less imo

Looking great in your updates joe all the best for your final few weeks prep . With your intra workout is there any reason you opt for eaa and performance fuel over mps max / sustain combo ? Kind regards
Thanks bro and Genuinely I just really like the flavours and taste of them that’s the only reason 🙂
