Another weight drop and lightest weight of prep today 242.3lb that’s the lightest I’ve weighed in over a year lol
We started trickling in some carbs today, just 150g carb over baseline so nothing crazy but deffo helped with fullness and when training today. I trained back and Bi and got a solid pump! Post workout shots were fantastic today. I’m so happy with the current look! If we can bring this to the stage I’m feeling very confident I can be a problem for anyone that’s up against me. Giving everything to this!

REST DAY
Cardio to start the day … then I went for a posing class that was productive..
The rest of the day was spent preparing for the week ahead and that .. cooking , laundry and all the arduous stuff .
Big week ahead. Let’s get it people 🙂
Who did you go posing with big man?

So a good 2 lb drop today after a day of total rest. It’s mad how sometimes when we do less – I did literally nothing – our body can react positively. It shows just how important it is to know when to push and when to pull back. Today has been day 2 of the total rest and it’s been lovely. No cardio/training. I did a bit of posing and went for a sauna and that’s it. Tomorrow is peak week and the final few days run in to the main show of the year 🙏

Day one of complete rest and Ngl I’ve loved it haha felt a little tired earlier but it’s been nice to not worry about getting out to do anything. Absolutely zero stress. Tomorrow I’ll go run some posing rounds and practice my routine and hit the sauna. Then chill again. Monday peak week is here 🙂

Don’t worry about something that hasn’t happened. If you have a hernia you’ll know. If you don’t, which it doesn’t sound like you do then you literally have nothing to worry about.

Home now from base camp. Class few days up in Rotherham with Jimmy. Very good to get away and be in a different environment with like minded people. Having Jimmy look over me regularly and keep things moving. We’ve pulled all cardio now and steps reduced as I said and still ended up dropping today so body is still super responsive. Got a double rest day sat and sun. Then Monday is peak week. I’m ready to finish this off. Best I’ve ever been.

Sounds like your not very consistent with your sleep and wake timings. Sometimes the length of sleep isn’t the biggest factor, I’d try going to bed and waking at the same time. You may have to force it for a bit but when it clicks you’ll know. I did this and my sleep now is fantastic.

The final leg day before snow day went down today – we’re looking to really reduce fatigue now and drip inflammation so it was just a relatively light pump session. 5 exercises 2-3 sets of 15-20 nothing near failure, but felt very good. Cardio has been pulled and steps tapered right back now to just what I do in the day, no extras. Time to land the plane ☺️

From what you’ve said I imagine the GHR would likely cause some issues especially with eccentric loading. It’s obviously something you’ll have to try and see. Single leg high rep rehab work will be ideal for now too, get as much blood in there as possible, don’t worry too much about load and progressing that, focus on squeeze, getting them super pumped and that should help strengthen them alongside physio etc. Then when it feels a better you can experiment with slightly heavier loads and go from there.

Up at the Tonk base camp for a few days now, good to be up here with Jimmy and training at Ultra flex for a few days to get the last little bit out of this prep before peak week and have daily eyes on my physique, posing and training etc. Fly out a week tomorrow and I’m super exited now. The clock is ticking 💪

I had transplant a few years ago and all seems well tbf. Probs a little thinning but nothing crazy. Will likely get back on finasteride post prep and get it to thicken back out again buddy. [/quote]
Did you stop the finasteride because of prep bro? Is there a reaction when using aas?[/quote]
Nah just ran out of my years medication and stopped but noticed it thinned when I stopped so will start again brotb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |
