So after multiple chiro sessions and a deep tissue today I think I’m good to go again. It’s such a weird one with my back because it’s something I really can’t rush and need to be careful with so I do take my time. But we’re nearly in a fresh week and I’m ready to get cracking again thank the lord 😂🙏

Off to chiro again tomorrow and hopefully fingers crossed I’ll be able to get back into the gym. It’s deffo feeling better so hopefully we’re nearly good to go. Just been working and eating and sleeping it feels like – not a fan of this routine without the gym! 😂

5th day of no training now. Back in for my 3rd chiro session in 6 days tomorrow. I did feel a touch better after the session on Monday so hoping tomorrow’s session makes it better so I can get back in the gym towards the end of the week. That would be ideal 🙏

Another day of no training because of my back issue, been on since Thursday now. I went in to see the chiro again today and he was able to get some cracks out of my lower back which didn’t budge on the first session last Friday. The cracks felt so good like I needed it! But been sore all day.
Deffo still can’t train, can’t even sit down properly so yeah trainings out the window. I have stood all day at my standing desk which has been good for not compressing my lower back.
Fingers crossed I start to feel better soon 🙏

Been working with the standing desk to see if it helps at all.

Had to visit chiropractor today for an emergency appointment. Could barely get up this morning my back was so painful! Been on painkillers today and will assess how I feel tomorrow. No training for today.
Chiropractor advised standing desk is a must moving forward. And small mobility movements through out the day to prevent long term pain.

Trained upper today at a different gym in London called Yorkys – old school gym run by an ex professional bodybuilder with her two sons now. Well selected kit in there!
First of my group coaching calls tonight and kicked off their 8 week programme. Looking forward to seeing their results. Back has been giving me some pain which isn’t great but we push on!tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Decent leg day yday feeling pretty cooked today. Deffo feeling a bit run down too. I don’t ever really get ill, usually run down and then better, so hopefully this is like normal for me and doesn’t progress to anything worse. Wouldn’t be surprised though with what’s going around.
The Normatec recovery boots have been epic. I train legs/lower twice a week so pretty much have had them on every day and massively helping with my recovery!
Rest day today, back in tomo!

I hope you all have had a great New year! Happy new year to everyone. I had a great Christmas and new year back with my family and enjoyed all of my sessions back at the tbjp gym.
Back in London now it feels good to be back. Wondered if I’d think that but I do. Good day of work today catching up everything before the real stuff begins again on Monday!

Upper again today. Still been playing around with a few things with training – and upper lower seemed to fit best with timings and being at tbjp gym and wanting to train on lots of the kit there 😂
Started off with back today, pull downs, single arm rows, t bar row, cable fly, Atlantis incline press, cable laterals, bis and tris class session today!

I think if you increase dose depends on the goal. Do you just want to be high end of in range. Or happy to go supraphysiological? Either way assess with blood work and go from there. Agree with more jabs being better too from a hormone stability perspective.
