I hit some shots with hips in and some hips out… and I change which I prefer over the duration of when I prep based on my condition and how the shot looks. So yeah, no rules just do what looks best for the condition you’re in.

Awesome weekend away for Adams first show of the year and he took second place in classic. Really happy with the look, but we can be better. We aimed for a conditioned look and we nailed that but on the flatter side and we know what we need to do now to come in a touch fuller and really make everything pop. Buzzing to dial him in for the next 2 weeks 🙏

Away for Adam’s show this weekend. 7.5 hour drive up to Wigan was a shocker. Such bad traffic but we made it and he’s looking amazing!! Super happy with the look. Will see how he looks in the am but we’ve refined this peak a few times now so I’m pretty confident In the look we’re going to produce. Will report back tomo 🙂

IMO – In short no. Lift as heavy as you can. With full rom. To mechanical failure. Keeping control of the movement. Vary reps between 6-20 and get as strong as you can across a multitude of rep ranges. Standing and seated variations. That’s what I did for years and years and have pretty decent calf’s.
Everyone could, most don’t. Cus it’s seen as somewhat boring. But you gotta just be consistent and do the work .

Been a really really good few days of training and I’ve now had my bloodwork done. Just waiting a few more days now to get the results and then Patrick will decide what the plan is going to be. I’m actually intrigued to see my bloodwork as I’ve been on zero test/drugs now for nearly a month. And then the 4 weeks before that was only TRT. I’ve never done this approach before so I actually don’t know what to expect. But I can say I feel good and also I’m still very strong. So deffo excited to see how responsive I’m going to be when I do finally go back on. Of course I’ll keep you guys all posted on what the next plans of action are going to be.

Rest day today… still waiting on my blood test ngl annoying me now going to chase tomo. As need to get it done so I can crack on. Not the end of the world having an extra week or two in health phase I suppose so it’s not all bad.
Back into a busy week tomorrow and looking forward to getting going again. Did the launch of my first timers prep guide today and that’s been really well received so very happy with that. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Personally I use the neutral grip. I find the wider one gives me a touch of shoulder discomfort. So my advice would be to use what you prefer/feels better. I also feel I can press a good bit heavier with the neutral.

Really good session did hams and back width so 3 hams and 3 lats. And then went for food in London with friends – went to a place called red dog saloon – American bbq style food which was really good! We got the electric bikes in and home again such a good way to see a lot of London. Back home now and off to bed super tired.

Never expected that myself or with anyone else. Could be weather related. Very hot and dehydrated.

Much needed after a hard week so far. Chest back and legs all smashed. Feeling pretty good all things considered and being at the end of the health phase where I’m currently into the third week on zero test. Bloods soon then we get back to work and of course I’ll keep you all updated on what the plan of action is going to be.
