Tip number one. Don’t go on TikTok for advice on how to get big. Look at people who are actually big and watch why they do/did. Success leaves clues.

Congratulations on an amazing pro debut, what an experience to share the stage with that calibre of athletes and to hold your own.

Really liked the VLOGs on YT and looking fwd to the Magic Eye video once released.

Enjoy some downtime, you have certainly earned it.

Sweet! I took out the CDX shake post workout you think its fine just doing a whey iso shake post workout and no CDX 15 mins later like Pat normally does! [/quote]
I think you’re over thinking brother. Honestly makes little difference having it in or not having it in. The meals over the day got you covered 🤝

Like Jordan said if you’re ready. You’re ready so you shouldn’t need to be making any crazy changes in the last week/days. Reduce output in the last week and don’t train to failure to allow your body to recover a touch so it’s more sensitive to absorbing and holding the food from when you load.

Finally home now after the most incredible trip! Lomggg journey home and only two hours sleep so super tired but early night then back to it tomorrow 🙏

Can’t even begin to explain how good this year has been. I did a video while out there for the JP site that should sum it all up pretty good so keep your eyes out for that one.

Having a few days to just collect myself and then going to have a conversation with Patrick about the future and make some plans re health phase and then what we want to do for off season and potential plans moving forward which I will of course share here 🙂

Nice what does you diet look like right now? [/quote]
Right now I’m just eating intuitively for a week or so, same food sources and the occasional cookie or whatever but no idea what cals are 😂

Congrats Joe! Top 10 in yr first pro show with such stacked line up! What’s next? Any more shows? Or heading to off season?

Thanks man much appreciated bro – no more shows now man been a long season been in show shape nearly 2 months and I need a break. And also to be more competitive I need to grow so the plan is to come back and go into a health phase before moving into a decent offseason phase to grow for the next time I’m out in that stage either late 26 or early 27 but all that can be decided at a later date 🙏

Yoooo guys what’s up! Sorry been a little quiet for a couple of days just been super busy over here in the US. Obv did my pro debut and managed to make the top ten. I’m over the moon with the result and also got to do my routine and the pose down with the best of the best in the world! Literally living the dream! The game plan was to just come in peeled and polished which we managed to achieve. And think those aspects helped me take the placing that I did!

Going to enjoy a few days off plan now while in the the US and spend some nice time with Nancy and we’ll be home on Tuesday. At some point next week Patrick and I are going to have a chat about the future and the goals/what we’re going to do re off season etc and of course when plans are in place I will be sure to update you.

But for now it’s to chill and bask in the season just gone, winning my pro card and competing at the Pitt power pro for my pro debut taking a top ten. An incredible end to and incredible season.

Thank you all for the support and love ❤️
