Really really good session today. I repeated the session for chest that I did with the coach I trained with – kind of like a PT session – last week. And again, it’s torn me a new one! Felt absolutely blasted after it. Way more volume. Less rest time and stretching in between every set. Felt very good and was so pumped after! Doing bits for my appetite too!

You look pretty lean mate, so if you’re hungry, just eat more dude. Get your food to a point where appetite is acceptable for you then reassess from there.
What the point in doing anything if it makes you depressed. If you’re competing or dieting for something – deffo Sack it off and get your head in a good place first bro.

Rest day today. Love/hate with rest days. Love because i get a full day on working and catching up with extra bits I always leave till rest days but also hate Because I love how training splits up my days and gives me the structure that I live for. Probs same for most, but when you work from home – it really does make a difference. Anyway, back in tomorrow 😌

Back day today with a little more focus on lats – did 2 single arm pull down differing variations and a single arm row. All felt great. Back for evening meal with Nancy steak and potatoes can’t go wrong.

Had an awesome session with Nathan Harman last night. He’s been about for time and took me through a chest session which was TOTALLY different to anything I’d ever done tbh. We did SO much volume and I’m in bits today!
Started with db press and think we did around 7 sets, escalating weight and maxed out around 50s but I was cooked by the time we got there as usually I’d lift much heavier. Goal wasn’t weight though it was connection, focussing largely on retracting my scalps and fully pressing with my chest and not letting my delts take over which they do a lot when I press. We did a similar set up for 3 press movements then did machine flys probs about 10 sets here all in with double drop sets etc. the. Finished on a cable fly and smith incline super set with most muscular chest pump holds. Oh and I had to stretch my chest inbetween each set. I did ten seconds in each pec then straight into the next set. Minimal rest.
I was soaked in sweat and done in by the end but was awesome to do something different and see how someone else who’s been very successful does things.

Yeah hard to day without knowing what else you do and also what your split is, but tbh can’t see it being a problem.

Kicking off the week with legs again. Been enjoying doing legs on a Monday. As no one else really is so it seems quiet in the leg area 😂 busy day of work today heavy day for check ins but I enjoy it as it starts off the week with some good momentum going into the rest of the week. Have a chest session with a friend tomo who’s a high level coach going to go over some training techniques and execution pointers which I’m looking forward to. Forever the student 🙏

Weekend off complete. Jobs day this morning at home then went to Oxford to see Nancys family. Was a nice non bodybuilding day with family. Meals taken though so obv that’s all on point. Back into normality tomorrow with leg day and work. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Everyone is different my rhr is around 40 so to do 130bpm I’d need to be literally running. Dont air for a hr. Just make sure your movement is at a pace that is somewhat uncomfortable and you’re getting a good sweat on. I like to walk on a treadmill at incline 6/7 and speed 5.5/6kph. But tbh stairmaster is best for most if you want to get lean – it’s deffo best bang for your buck.

Rest day today had a good day tbf. Went for a nice long dog walk to a new park today – there’s so many good ones in London which is amazing tbf! Then I took Nancy out this eve I g for our anniversary to a nice steak restaurant called Hawksmoor in central London. Felt good to get a haircut and put some nice clothes on for once 😂 banging belly pork ribs to start and a nice ribeye for me! Then home. Chill. And now bed 🫶🏻

What’s the current fertility protocol? I’m guessing you’ll need to stay on a cruise for quite a long time. Do you think that will affect you mentally, or are you completely comfortable with your body not looking the way it normally does for an extended period?
Hey bud I’m going to be running a HCG/HMG protocol. And currently I’m on 300mg test and 4IU GH I can maintain and even improve on that no problem. I’m already starting to progress again which is nice and of course should be super sensitive (and healthy) when the times right to go back on. I’m actually really happy with the current situ and 265 in pretty good shape ☺️
