Just touched down in the UK after some good downtime and chilling out with the mrs. No training and chilled on food so was a nice switch off. Now back to it and back to the push. The grow train continues ????

Totally fine in my opinion buddy. A few seconds to take a breather is all good mate.

Jesus so much walking out here! Loving it though. Just tires me out. We’ve to body worlds yesterday which is a museum full of restored real life bodies – so much to see and learn! Also they had a full Body scan there and I came out at 7% body fat ????

Having some time off training while away which tbh my body probs needs as I’m feeling quite battered! Obv food is unregulated aswell but just trying to eat as much as possible. Step count is way above normal too!! Keeping weight on is always a nightmare! ????

Never done it specifically but on prep sometimes I’ll save my first meal in the day for as long as I can and then it just makes the window to eat all of my meals smaller so essentially less time to feel hungry 🙂

I am in Amsterdam today till Sunday – a few days off with the mrs very much needed physically more than anything. Let me my back and knee recover somewhat but also stay active and get a lot done. So much stuff to do here and Suzy a beautiful city 🙂

A lot of the top pros already have most of the muscle they need and don’t actually train in a progressive overload fashion so they’re recovery is much better and allows for twice a day training. I personally couldn’t train the way I do twice a day, no chance.
These twice a day sessions are likely no more than an hour each too. So overall time in the gym will be similar.

Good day yesterday filming for BBC about body image and what it takes to be a bodybuilder. Then showed them how we train legs. Lol was safe to say they were pretty shocked haha
It will be on BBC inside out – the current affairs programme in January, new year 🙂

I personally would stick to the same plan and the same weights but save a rep from failure. This means total volume will be lower and neural fatigue also lower meaning you’re recovery should improve vastly in this time. I would say a week is enough. You then have 16 weeks to prep. Probs wouldn’t waste another week fannying about, get after it

Agree with Jimmy – I would push away from you so the eccentric portion of the lift is coming down into you ????

Hi mate. How would you travel abroad with your gear to countries where it’s illegal? Thanks
Uhhh yeah tbh I would just bang it in my main luggage case and if I got caught (unlikely) I’d have it all unlabelled and say it’s health supps or its its blatantly obv then say personal use

A few of my clients and friends have done PCA first timers and found it to be a great experience and well run show

Hey Joe, did you use slin during your classic physique days?
I didn’t mate no as I was barely scraped it to make weight as it was lol so slin would have just made it even harder. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it works on me this time in off season with lots of food. Interested to see how much it can help me grow

I’ve had the same issue myself and I find getting a ‘pump’ before hitting tour compound movements helps really well for engaging the muscle correctly when pressing heavy. It’s all to easy to just ‘move’ the weight. I’ve been guilty of this many times – it just takes time and patience 🙂
