Rest day today after a couple of very hard training days. Was in for legs yday and today they are in bits. Tomorrow only going to be worse 😂 so so so many sets and again so different to anything I’ve done before, but absolutely feel the benefit so far. We’ll have to wait and see if it translates into more muscle. Still on only 300 test and 4IU GH in my fertility set up. But sitting again nicely at 265ish in pretty decent nick so should be in a great spot when we’re ready to push again!

Sounds like you might be pushing the weight up too quickly. If it takes two weeks to hit rep range, it takes two weeks. You can’t always progress everything every session. If you match the odd set but still progress elsewhere in the session you’re still winning.

Super busy with work at the moment- deffo not a problem but very much needing to be useful with my time right now.
Went in for a high volume fts7 style workout for chest and delts. 6 supersets and I be just worked it out it was 53 sets in total. I am completely cooked now.
Obv being on cruise makes it a lot harder as my recovery just isn’t as good as when I’m on cycle but loving it none the less.

Just take your anti inflammatory type supps / joint health supps as far away from training as possible

Got asked down to Leicester today to film a podcast – was a full on set up multiple camera and all that so was awesome! Was all about me and my journey and it was really good to actually look back and talk about my life and what has inspired to to become who I am today amongst many other things. I don’t usually watch things back that I’m in but I probably will with this one as it felt poignant. Anyway back to it tomorrow for some high volume legs!

Following a new plan along the same lines as some of the higher volume stuff I’ve done of late. Did the first chest day yday and there was some fun bits in there including fst-7s, time under tension sets etc was a class session and chest is super sore today! Looking forward to getting stuck in and letting you guys know how I get on!

Amazing weekend I had a mate down to visit who I haven’t seen in years and it was so good to see him. Had a really busy weekend. Trained twice, also watched the Prague show. Can’t believe Samson lost to Martin. Martin did look insane though! Crazy good win for him! Super busy with work atm and looking forward to getting back into a busy week tomorrow. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Man training has been going to well recently in really enjoying this higher volume approach as it’s a mix of still training to failure but just … more of it. Supersets, drop sets, fst-7s. And it’s fucking Brutal. Im in bits but im loving it. My legs STILL hurt and that shit was nearly 6 days ago now 😂 … just hoping I have some sort of adaptation soon cus can’t be doing these doms all the time hahaha

Just keep the diet and the steps set as they are see what happens to your look and body weight and adjust from there. That is high steps though so perhaps the next adjustment would come from food if you don’t want to be doing cardio. If it were me I’d pull the steps down and add in 20/30 mins cardio. Much more time efficient and you’ll get some added cardiac benefits etc.

I’m on day 3 of some of the worst leg doms I’ve ever had 😂 … still unreal haha but I love it really. Damn if I keep that up my legs are gunna blow the fuck up! I don’t care what people say, doms to me is a sign you trained fucking hard! (Unless you haven’t trained in ages) … and your body will HAVE to adapt to it (by growing) if you keep up with that stimulus… which intend too… if these doms ever let up 😂😂

Honestly don’t think I’ve ever tracked a single ab movement in my life so (from my experience) dont get caught up on progressing abs too much. Like Michaela said there’s only really so much you can progress them, and imo better of focusssing on getting some quality work in. 2-3 sets of 12-20 reps full Rom and good squeeze. Twice a week and your set.
