Bruhhh it’s so so hot again and hard work to get in and train I won’t lie but nothing missed. Still getting everything done. Very happy with my recent training performance. Appetite takes a big hit when it’s hot like this too so always harder to get meals in but we move.

Backs been playing up past couple days so swapped rest day tomorrow with today and rested today also booked an osteo appt for tomorrow! Really need to get it released/manipulated. Something I need to keep ontop of probs for the rest of my life now tbh but it is what it is. Part and parcel of being a bodybuilder!

Yes. You’ve lost weight from first to last reading so up the food brother. Looks like you’re around maintenance. Add an extra 2-300kcal monitor for 2 weeks then assess again.

So last week was a really good full week back on the normal 5x per week split.
My current split is:
Chest bi
Legs quad focus
Rest
Back thickness (rows) calves
Delts tri
Hamstrings and lats (pull downs)
Rest
Felt amazing to full send it and be back to normal on everything and log it all. Deffo down a touch of strength but I’ll string a good few weeks together here now and start taking those progressions again to get back to where I was 🙏
Hey Joe in terms of training frequency – how do you Find this approach vs hitting things twice per week?[/quote]
I like it for me and my requirements now splitting back is the main thing here so I can fully nail my rows and my pull downs on separate sessions as trying to bring my back up 💪tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

In for back day today and it was my thickness focus day with calves. At the end some of the calisthenics lads were in and I tied to do a muscle up. Failed. I wanna be able to do one so gunna make it a little side quest 😂 ngl long way to go for me I think. Probs not ideal at the end of a pull session though when I’m already cooked hahah

Little man doggo is better today, he was still a bit quiet this morning but perked up nicely throughout the day after more meds. I swapped my rest day from tomo to today so I could be at home with him but think he’ll be fine tomorrow for me to leave him. So back to it tomorrow with a leg day! Busy day working and same again tomorrow!

Class session today chest and bi. Weather was a bit cooler today so it was much more bearable in the gym. Unfortunately had to take kojo to the vet as we think he ate something off in the park and has been not himself. £150 later and we’re back home and he’s sleeping. Anything for the little man though. Legs tomo!

No training today but still went in for an in person with a client that’s competing this weekend in his first ever show he’s looking fantastic. We’re running a carb load tomorrow and than likely a control day Friday to wash his off before the show sat.
Myself – I’ll be back in for back tomorrow and to see if I can survive in this heat 😅

Today was back thickness and calves. Decent session. Felt a little tired today as slept average last night but we still got the work done was just one of those sessions where it ‘felt’ a little harder if that makes sense. Got a cricket game for my dad’s team tomorrow back home, ngl I’m low key looking forward to it and seeing my pals from back home. Just hope I don’t die 😂

IMO I wouldn’t measure output by cals, measure it by tracked output (steps/cardio) – keep all variables the same daily. Watch what happens then make slight adjustments as you go, small deficit and minor tweaks will keep you progressing without overcooking it.
