Hey joe

When do you plan to stop pinning? 1 week out or? And do you keep orals in throughout

I imagine we won’t stop pinning right up till the day or day before bud – same with orals mate

You can use negatives any which way you want. They’re amazing for building strength as your body can handle more weight eccentrically than it can concentrically. I’m the same as Ryan though – usually aim for 3-4 secs on most movements

Seems like you’ve still got a good amount of volume in there with how many weeks out you are from both shows! Recovery must be spot on ????

Yeah they look right bud and yeah they will dig in – personally unless you’re a competition power lifter then you don’t really need those. Single or Double ply knee sleeves will do just fine and provide epic knee support. Thats all I’ve ever used. Urban Lifters ones are very good

Also what will the halo bring to that cycle, if you don’t mind me asking? Cheers

What’s up reece!! Ok so Halo is known for its hardening properties to bring about that granite muscle look along with being amazing for strength – often power lifters will use it near a comp to help them lift more. So as a bodybuilder in a deep deficit it’s amazing to keep you lifting heavy and smashing the logbook as well as making you look solid. However it’s very toxic and should only ever be ran for a small number of weeks max and only for the latter stages of comp prep. No other time and deffo not for anyone not competing.

(Will post the leg rotations below bud)

That will all be water mate not ‘real’ weight so I wouldn’t worry – when you get leaner you will see less fluctuation

Much needed rest day today. Monday’s are quiet on the PT front too so I got my cardio done early then had a decent time to chill and had an afternoon nap too. The. Hit some posing this afternoon at the studio. Feeling really confident with my mandatories now at 2 weeks out. And my routine is looking good too.

All in all a great day and feeling refreshed for legs tomorrow. Buzzing to compete now guys

Are you weighing at the same times in the day. Fasted? Using the same scales? Everything needs to be exactly the same.

Also note what time you last ate before bed as if you ate late this could affect your morning readings

I know that sounds simple but you wouldn’t believe the amount of people that don’t take these things Into account

If you’re battered then listen to your body and rest bud – hopefully it’s a one off but if not your split will need reassessing
