    1/2 per week in off season if competition allows (that’s what I do and remain lean).

    Prep/cut don’t do them at planned times so them only when needed, super flat / fatigue super high / you’re smashed (get a coach that can advise). Only when needed, not for the sake of it.

    Really moving well with things now sat between 256/258lb atm and tightening up everyday. Added in 50mg anavar Friday so will interesting to see if weight holds as I continue to get leaner for a bit.

    Still no food changes since the start of prep which feels a nice place to be. No fatigue and training is flying. Ready to full send another training week starting tomo with chest day. Lfg

    A much needed rest day today. And some r and r. Cardio this am and then busy day of work and check ins. Haircut. And then onto some chiro treatment. Been seeing the same chiro for 8 years now and he’s kept me in one piece! Good bit of work on my back and my shoulder today plus full body mot. Then in for deep tissue next week. That’ll happen every week now up to the shows 🙏

    Yeah what Hilly said is nails. They’ll never all be green and we wouldn’t expect them to be. But within certain degree of difference that is acceptable to each marker.

    Yeah I think we’ll do Scotland tbf. Dont think we’ll lose again. Hoping France do a job on Ireland and then we have a very interesting finish!

    Never done an AAS pin sub q in my life. Only ever water based compounds.

    Can’t see any benefits outweighing the cons… plus if it ain’t broke and all that…

    Hi Joe,

    Just stopping by to say progress pics looks awesome.

    You must be really pleased with where you’re at and what you can bring to the stage given current position.

    Side note – epic game six nations beating France. There is no better way to win a game than in the last minute, even if it does cause your BP to raise when the French score with 5mins left…

    Keep grafting dude.

    Thank you brother! Yes very happy with current progress. Things are coming along nicely tbf! Free more weeks and should start to see some knarly condition.

    And yeah man 100% so long as you’re on the winning side haha. What a game that was! Gutted it’s an off weekend this weekend. Hope you’re well too my man 🙏

    If you feel good and can recover from it for your next sessions depending on your don’t then why not. I’d say for most people who have a semi decent training age that would be fine. But of course there’s a few nuances.

    Chest and tri today and strength is holding just nicely. In fact progressing still. Just over 7 plates a side on the Atlantis incline which I was happy with today.

    Visuals sent to Patrick who is very happy with current condition – we’re on the money. He’s added 30mg anavar in from Friday this week look forward to seeing how that helps the visuals.

    Feeling good and leg day tomo. Let’s goooo

    Much needed rest day today been feeling a little smashed from training so I enjoy a Sunday of rest. Getting things ready for the week ahead and can do it all over again. Just under 8 weeks out now and things are ticking along nicely.

    Just cardio and steps today. And watching the last of the 6 nations games for this week. Have of course been loving it and buzzing for England to take that massive win over France too!

    Similar to what the guys have said liquid-easy digestible carbs are going to be sweet here

    Look at nailing 500-1000ml water upon wake with hydration and 20g mps

    Then during training 20g eaa and however much intra is appropriate for your diets needs for example 60g sustain.

    If you also have a decent Size meal pre bed you’ll get some carry over from that too.
