So then tomorrow I travel to Sweden and we will be running a fat load day with zero direct carbs. It helps me keep water off when flying and also looking to deplete a touch more to make sure I make weight on Friday. We’re also running a slight water load. 8L fluid tomorrow. Aldactone has been in Sunday/Monday at 25mg and today at 50mg.

Also increased Winny to 100mg and added in some halo at 20mg to help harden off the look. Next two days is going to be hard work but we’re nearly there. The last show is in sight now so looking forward to getting out there and finishing on a high – one goal.

1 week out today from the final show of the year. Fly out to Sweden on Wednesday. So probs need to start thinking about packing – no doubt will do the night before haha – tbh I pack light for shows now. The more I’ve done the less I realise I actually need. Taking shit loads is just stress. Need trunks, supps, some food, clothes, pretty much anything else I can get from shops there like fresh meat. My goal is to keep stress low and always look to enjoy the process as much as possible. Too many people stress hard and don’t even enjoy it, fuuuuck that 😂

Another day done – tomorrow we formulate the final plan of attack for Sweden so I will post it here when I have it.

We’re going to push for more condition for the next show and I fly out a week today to Sweden.

Feeling ready to smash this last week or so of prep before a well deserved rest 🙂

Same as the guys orange 1 inch or smaller slin pins. But haven’t jabbed glutes in years, I tend to cycle lats and delts.

So the weekend is done now, just wanted to take the day Sunday to chill and relax. So I took second in my class. Which I was of course disappointed with. I lost to Llion whom I beat two weeks ago. But he came in looking better and I congratulate him for that. We’ll be going again in two weeks in Sweden for my last show of this run. Getting back to baseline weight today/tomo and then we can make the poa. It’s back to baseline food and last peak week cardio already too. Around 2250 kcal and 55mins cardio. Want to push harder this week so we can pull back a touch next week and not have to slam myself into the ground all the way up to the show.

Trying to keep this phase as chilled as possible so just up in London now and using the local welcome gym for ease and lower stress. It’s 5 mins walk for cardio and training as opposed to 30 plus min drive for kings. Where training sessions are at right now it’s good enough to keep things ticking over and bring me right to it the show.

Any changes over the coming few days and I’ll pop them in here for sure.
