Great session today with Adam and my boy Louis ‘The Rhino’ Allen – filmed it at the shed too for YouTube. Trained push and training strength is still good but the pumps are pretty shit lol. But we’re looking at a refeed tomorrow night on my rest day and then back in Sunday for arms. Moving onto a 2 on 1 off set up as of Sunday too to allow a little more recovery.

How was the log cabin break mate? Following the progress, smashing it 💪🏾
Honestly mate so so good was a lovely few days up in Ludlow. Lots of nice nature walks and some good time in the sauna and hot tub haha. Good chill out man. But good to be back and at it again my man. How are you bud? Appreciate you following along man!

I have used Beats Solo 3s for years they’re class and very sturdy. Have bashed and dropped them many times.
Plus, I sweat … a lot. Couldn’t recommend more tbf.

Another cracking session today. Pull. Performance is still good at 7 weeks out. Although pumps are deffo dropping off a bit now and not handing around for very long. But that’s to be expected as I get leaner and a touch flatter. I imagine we’ll dig a little more then probably feed up again in the not too distant future. Push tomo then we’re moving to 2 on 1 off. No more three in a row as leg sessions are back in. So I can recovery properly. 🙏

Very good leg session today down at the shed. First time having a go on the swing squat and it felt nice I deffo prefer it to the pendulum in the gym. Will get an updated weight in for tomorrow for you guys too. Been away for a few days and forgot my weight scales so be interesting to see where we’re at tomorrow. I think I I’ll be below pre refeed weight. Lowest weight so far has been 242.1lb so we’ll see in the morning… I’ll report back

Away for a couple of days for my dad’s 60th bday in a log cabin. It’s been so so nice. Lots of walks, we have a proper sauna and hot tub too so been spending a lot of time in there. Rest day today. Kinda tough being around the fam with literally ALL the food … like ALL the food. But as usual the goal is bigger than the want to eat now. Just smells so good all the time 😂 anyway. Back to my 50g oats and some whey. Back home and back to it tomo 🙂

Hey Joe, are you using finasteride or minoxidil now or do you have a routine? What would you consider to be somewhat safe compound wise?
Safe for what? I use nothing I want or need to haha I don’t avoid using anything that I want to use 🙂

Banging session yday for the first sat of the year at the shed. Was very busy and the vibe was fantastic. I trained push and I love the seated hammer strength press. The old school piece it’s so so nice so I look forward to getting strong on there come off season and giving that a good run up. Few days away now for my dad’s 60th which will be nice but very much looking forward to it and some downtime. Of course routine etc will all be on point 🙂

So rest day today and refeed day. Weights been dropping all week so we have a clean refeed higher carb day today then tomorrow a five guys and large fries 🍟
Interested to see what I’m going to look like on Sunday morning as I’m already getting very lean at still 8 weeks out.
We’re ahead of the game in a good way. I feel healthy and my body is so reactive with still soooo many tools to use! Very very excited for this prep and to see what we can produce 💪

Met up with a good friend today to hit an arms session and also for him to look over me and go over some posing. Really good session and some nice tweaks to a few shots. Was also just good to see him and chat all things bodybuilding and life. Love conversations like that. Another weight drop today sat at 242.5lb just 10lb away from the classic cap with 8 weeks to go. Feeling pretty shredded already lol so probs due a feed up soon. We’ll see 🙂

Another banger at the shed today. Trained pull. Literally spoilt for choice on all pulldown and row variations. Kinda playing with diff bits for the first week or so (obv full send on the sets lol) then I’ll sort my actual split out related to the exercise selection we now have available. I’ll post it here for you guys when I’ve done it.

A nice little drop in the scales so we’re sat here now at 247lb and feeling very good! Can visually see I’ve come in a lot this week! Dropped of a good bit of fluid and inflammation I was holding. Had some slight digestive issues but that seems to have sorted itself now since pulling tomatoes/cucumber out (of all things lol) so expect a further loss once I’m fully empty – without sounding too gross haha.
Clen t3 and t4 all went in today aswell and thus is where the magic happens for me. 20mcg clen, replacement thyroid meds. It’s about to get tasty. Proper shreds pending 🙏🤝
