Great session tonight. Incline DB pressed today for the first time in nearly 2 years and managed the 70s for 8 which was pleasing. Then 50s for 16 with a 50% drop to failure. Happy to strength is still in a very nice place and having a nice carry over from some of the other stuff I’ve been doing. Pics tonight were great too looking full and juicyyyy at the end of off season haha. Not long to go now before we hit the cruise pre prep 🙏

I would deffo look into things a little more first to understand what you’re actually doing without blinding doing it
Also pretty much most of us here as athletes are coaches so you can reach out to anyone of us anytime for help on ig

Annoyingly had a bad stomach past day or two so hopefully haven’t lost too much weight. Been hard to keep food in. But it is what it is. Can’t always be 100% so when we’re I’ll or whatever, I just do what needs to be done and get back on the wagon as soon as I can. Chilled weekend off chilling and trying to get better, should be good to go for Monday.

Took a forced rest day today because I was helping my brother move house and took way longer than expected 😅 ended up back at the parents house this evening at 9oclock and had a curry together. Rare occasion so was nice to have a meal off with them. Everything has been on lock so I don’t feel bad doing stuff like that. Was nice to get involved and eat with them. As I don’t see them loads and most the time I do I swear I’m always prepping so miss out on a lot. Anyway, because on on the rolling split I’ll just do back tomorrow (was supposed to be today) and carry on the split as normal then. No issues whatsoever, we march on 🙂

How often / how many rest days you taking big man?
Hey buddy how are you bro? Played around with it a bit of late. I was going 6 on 1 off, 3 on 1 off, 2 on 1 off (over two weeks). In the second week I didn’t do a leg Day which constituted the mid week rest day.
But the 6 on was killing me. So now it’s simply 3 on 1 off 3 on 1 off, repeat. On the second week I do hams and gluts instead of a full leg day.
Legs are my strongest part so seeing as I have to get to weight cap it’s seems silly focussing on them when I need to grow elsewhere. Chest and arms have taken the brunt of the volume.
How’s things with you big man? What’s the plans?

I use Simba and it’s been class for me. I fractured my back so needed something worthy and this has been perfect. Not cheap but considering how long you’ll have it. It’s worth it. Think they do payment plans too.

Much needed rest today. Training going super well atm, just in a such a nice groove with everything and I cannot complain one bit. Lots of work today done on a rest day. Very much like rest days as I feel I need then. When people say they’re bored or wanna train on a rest day, they probs just don’t train hard enough to warrant one 🤣

I usually do IM as seem to get worse experience with sub q when it comes to jabs. More irritation, pain and almost welting of the skin. So prefer IM.

Another good one in the books. Back day at kings. And now back home again. Rest day tomorrow. Then into push weds back on the 3 on 1 off split.
Weight gone up a touch to 264 and holding very nice condition for the weight. 30lb to come off from here for classic weight. Should be a very nice look this year with the complete classic off season.
Very ready for prep now 🙂

I find using unwind post training helps me go from sympathetic nervous state to parasympathetic (fight or flight to rest and digest). I keep them in my gym bag and take them when I finish. Usually by the time I get home and have prepped my meal, circa 45 mins I’m good to go and have no issues.
