Been up in London for the weekend seeing the Mrs. Always like being away here especially now as we’re approaching Christmas the lights are on and there’s always so much to do which I like 🙂
TrainedByJP kings yesterday which was a class session. Went at 5pm sat night and it was still banging in there. Good amount of people, good vibe. Really good session.
Back to chelt tomorrow and back to my ‘normal’ routine after a couple days chilling here.

4th day in a row today. I’m back to 6 this week. Gunna pull it down next week though as I can’t keep this up.
Will likely come off of a week split and move onto a 2 or 3 on 1 off split which will give me that extra day off I need – that would have been today. As I woke up smashed but still got my session in.
All about understanding what you can push to and then assessing what you can recover from 🙏

Day 2 post deload and currently feeling great. Pull today and felt amazing. Good bit of volume. Currently running a 15-20 set, a 8-10+ double or triple drop, then a 20 repper to finish. So good volume but also getting some heavy work in too. The current set up is fantastic and my body is changing at a very fast rate 🙏

Back in today and boy it feels good. Dropped 4 lbs while on this deload (rest day food, no slin) – so back to high day food today with some slin pre and post and daymmmm the pump was lovely.
Feel refreshed and ready to go again. Last 6/7 weeks of this growth phase left to go until we have a little break before we start coming down again for 2024 shows.
I’ve decided to do
Sweden
Ireland
PolandAs my shows next year. Looking to make a splash next year in the classic division with a whole improvement phase and prep dedicated to bringing the best classic look I can, keeping full but brining that signature ballinger condition 🔥

Good day today at the show. Long day as usual but good to see lots of familiar faces. Good catch up with a few of the JP team as well. Adams (my brother) client won his class so that’s good for him. Excited to get home now and plan the day tomorrow then get back into training tomorrow now my deload is done 🤝

The answer is all 3 – but essentially if you get lean enough they will show as you want them. But like any muscle, the bigger it is the higher likelihood there is of it being more apparent. So build the muscle in a surplus in off season, then get fat free in a diet phase. The ideology is straight forward. The application and result maybe not so… keep going until you achieve the result you want.

Mine depends if I’m taking insulin or not. If I am, I’ll start drinking it 20 mins or so before the workout do I finish it about 1/3rd to 1/2 way through the workout so I don’t go hypo. (I’m sensitive) – if not then start during exercise 1 and finish 3/4 way through the session 🙏

Another good work day today. Been building out some new programme content that I’m going to be launching very soon and I can’t wait to do so! Lots of filming and making videos etc and very happy with what I have so far. Looking to end the year with a bang and then build big into the new year! Big business year ahead in 2024. Exciting times 🙏

So deload/rest day for me today. This has consisted of a morning walk. And a lot of work. Client check ins and then some extra work while I’ve had time off training. Content planning etc. Now having a little evening down time watching some planet earth. Nothing like a bit of soothing David Attenborough pre bed haha. I take these deloads as still be as productive as I can whilst not training 🙂

Obsession can be a good thing but what you’re saying here sounds a little unhealthy. Maybe it’s the way you’re saying it, but it’s the vibe I’m getting. Focussing on all those things is great but shouldn’t come at a detriment to other stuff like (legit) relationships, building your career – eg if your ‘obsession’ for bodybuilding is so great that you can’t or don’t work hard and grow in that space, then like Clare said it’s time for a reality check. You can be obsessive with BB and STILL be present and progressive in other areas of life. Just my 2 cents.
