Was feeling pretty strong yday and fancief moving some weight so loaded the pendulum up 6 plates and did 2 sets. Set 1 20 reps and set 2 17reps. Where the fuck that came from I don’t know but I was pretty buzzing with that especially considering I’ve been running 300mg test for over 6 months now. Really can’t wait to get back on after my fertility stuff is all good 🙂

It’s more about total volume over the session not exercises/set numbers – but total volume. So if you’re recovering well from what you’re doing then great. Push harder 🙂

Class pull day today. Decided I wanted to shift some tin today so went heavier and a touch less volume today but had a killer set. Added volume by way of intensifiers today. Heavy, hard session but very good. Home to home made fajitas from Nancy. Unreal!
Very good day of work too. Super productive today! More be the Mots-C / meth blue combo … Ready to go again tomo…

Been a busy one this week with getting all my content and what not together for the group launch in running this weekend. Last one was epic so looking forward to doing it again!
Coaching is going very well right now along side my own training. Obv still running my cruise whilst in fertility programme but progressing pretty well all things considered!

Productive Monday full of check ins! New programme launch 🚀 for any group clients. Good arms session at kings today. Tomorrow another busy day ahead! Finding getting all my meals in so much easier now I don’t vape 💨 if I could give any one a piece of advice in off season is stop vaping if you are trying to get the calories in!

Leg press feet close/low superset with leg press feet high wide 3 sets of 8-12 – 60 seconds rest
Weighted lunges 3 x 60
Pendulum superset lying ham – 3 x 8-12, 60 secs rest
Vertical leg press superset standing single leg ham – 7 x 8-12, 30 secs rest
Standing calf – 7 x 8-12, 30 secs rest

My man really enjoying this “change of style” haha
Can you outline the leg day and some of the other workouts? 🙂
Really curious as the feedback seems to be amazing! 🙂
Yeah I mean it’s for sure kicking my ass – but like anything requires high effort to get the most out of it
I’ll post example leg day below bro

Right legs Dom’s are nearly gone, I can still feel them but manageable now. That’s over 4 days now 😂
Anyway chest and delts yday I really like the session lots of supersets and fst7s – crazy silly volume but I’m loving it. Optimal? No. Muscular damage? Hell yeah 😂
On we go with the higher volume shit and I’m liking it more and more.

I cannot begin to explain to you how bad my leg Dom’s are from Saturdays leg session with Josh 😂 I can barely walk. Going in and down stairs is a struggle. Proper cooked 😂
Just goes to show it literally doesn’t matter what you do – the only thing that really fucking matters is effort. End of. Empty your tank on whatever you do and you will force adaptation.
It’s just really fucking hard to do on certain things, and that’s why most people focus on being ‘optimal’. Have a day off lol

Hi joe hope your well…
i been reading through this thread, been absolutely incredible to follow.
I had a question on your prep with Patrick, i noticed you didn’t utilize tren/winstrol for the prep, but more so anavar/halo… what was the thought process behind that? personal preference? or something Patrick advised,Hey buddy sorry I missed this man! Yeah so basically I cannot take tren it really makes me not feel myself in a bad way and I decided 3 years ago never to take it again, and instead I use Halo for its hardening and strength properties. Very good used pre workout imo. And Patrick said anavar impacts muscle fullness and strength through improved adp/atp resynthesis better than Winstrol does. So halo and anavar was a very good combo for myself. So a bit of both – personal pref and Patrick’s advice.

Such a good day today I filmed with big Josh Mayley for his pro series YouTube series. Took him through one of my high volume leg days and he said out of the 20 pros he’s trained with so far our session was the hardest one … I’ll take that! Haha class session then a good sit down chat/interview for a separate video (same series) overall such a good day catching up with Josh. Going to be in bits tomorrow!

Trained at the new kings gym today in tower bridge and I’ve been asked to be the one to open it officially by cutting the ribbon tomorrow. Will be the first time I’ve ever done anything like that so that pretty cool. Was down there filming some content today and then trained back after. Great session and the new gym is sick! Super clean and well done. Cool lighting and gym layout and highly recommend for anyone visiting London 🔥
Is it more of a commercial vibe in terms of equipment or is it like mitcham and croydon with a variety of different brands etc?

I wouldn’t say commercial no as the kit is legit, and yeah a few diff brands in there, got some prime bits too. It’s clean and new obv not a spit and sawdust vibe if that makes sensetb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |
