Been in recovery mode the past few days which has been pretty long. I can’t go out in the sun so have been inside all weekend. But took tha bandages off today and had my fist shower in a few days haha that felt good! I do get to watch Corinne in her fight on the Ppv which was class! And a really good win for her too! Excited to finish my recovery off and get back in the gym asap 🙏

I did something similar, test was around 2-300 max and ran deca at around 2 grams. I felt great initially and the strength gains and size gains were decent! I did start to lose libido and just generally not feel so great on it after a while. But I was running pretty heavy Deca so you could for sure try lower and taper it. Perhaps add In mast/primo (goal dependent) to handle the sides. It was a long time ago so hard to remember some of the more nuanced stuff. I don’t think I’d ever do anything without a test base. But hopefully that helps.

I had my second hair transplant today. Something I’ve been wanting for a while tbh. My first one was great 6 years ago but since then had a good bit of hair loss behind that. Leaving a gap. So we filled the gap today and also crossed over into the current native hair incase there is any further hair loss after that. Anyway it’s day zero, time to get recovered and then back into my training. Needs to have a minimum of 2 weeks off but tbh the way my body if feeling, I need that right now anyway! So happy days tbh.

Backed of training a touch this week as have been full sending for months and feel like a need a little break. I’m going in for a hair transplant on Friday so will be having 2 full weeks off then too. Will keep you posted on that.

Best thing is the unwind supplement bro it’s an anti stress/fatigue supp in short. When we train we’re in sympathetic nervous state (fight or flight) and often stay in that state for some time after we train, especially if it’s been a tough session – kinda like when you’re cabbaged after legs. The goal post training is to get back into the para sympathetic nervous state (rest and digest) so we can relax and start to eat/digest food etc and use our brains more efficiently to focus etc. unwind helps you do this. Makes a huge difference. I double dose (8 caps) on particularly hard training session days.

Lovely day yesterday having a young lad called Oscar come and train with me. His dad messaged me to say he’s been disabled from a sepsis infection and had to had a hip replacement at 15 years old. He’s now into his training, he follows BB and myself. So of course I welcomed him down. We went for coffee and a chat about everything and I heard his story which is incredibly hard but also inspiring to see where he is now.
Just puts things into perspective for me once again. And shows me the power of persistence once a human puts their mind to something they really can achieve anything.

Agree with what the guys are saying. Never heard that from anyone else. If something doesn’t make you feel good. Sack it off. Pretty good rule of thumb for anything really.

Been feeling a touch battered past week or so and started to notice it a touch in my sessions namely my leg sessions last week and today. My top end has taken a little hit and because of the way I’m feeling coupled with that. I know I need a little deload. When I deload I just don’t train for a few days. Now I’m getting a hair transplant a week Friday so I’ll just rest then as I need to anyway an continue on through, but I will pull back on my leg training next week as that deffo needs to come down to give my cns a bit of a break especially whilst I’m off cycle.

Hi Jo hope your well- with your training overtime when you have gone from more frequency with hitting a body part vs hitting that body part once per week
Have you noticed much difference?
Hey buddy sorry if I missed this. I can just handle more volume on a body part in one session so I actually prefer a lower frequency approach right now. It’s hard to say what’s better as it’s usually what’s better for the time period/situation I’m in. Same with everyone really.

Trained today as I couldn’t train yday because of being in Bradford for the day. So did my usual lats and hams sessions which was decent. Then had our usual nice Sunday walk with Nancy and kojo and we went to Battersea park today and then just home for a standard Sunday, food shop and prep and then chill, ready for the week ahead.

Will be absolutely minor bud so long as it’s actually the same food source and your consistent with it and the measurements of it, not even something to worry about imo

Was at the tbjp pro qualifier today with the gang. Was a class show and really good to see the rest of the athletes from tbjp and of course the competitors.
This was the show that I went pro at last year and I can believe it’s been a year already! It’s crazy how quick that’s gone!
Today’s got me super excited to compete again when the times right 🙂

Trained with my client Harvey today. He came down from Manchester and we did back together. He’s a big dude around 120kg so was good to get him in, and go through a few training cues that can help him with his back engagement and execution.
Back in tomorrow for delts and triceps!
