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!

Literally chicken whole sale is so cheap man. Just pound that and one of the JP wheys for your protein. Cheap carbs COR, oats, rice cakes and raw rice are all super cheap bro.

The first leg day where things didn’t quite click. Went for a new top set by 10kg on the leg press. And stopped after 6 reps because my back felt off. After my long term injury last thing I wanna do is fuck that up again. I know which battles to fight. It pissed me off but I still smashed out the rest of the session. One bad exercise doesn’t have to shape the rest of the session.

Birthday today and it was a good one! Boxed off all my client check ins early doors then trained earlier than usual as Nancys off work today for bank holiday. We went for a long walk around Richmond park nearly 3 hours with kojo. The perfect end to a brilliant weekend. Winding down now and ready for the new work week to start properly tomorrow. Hope you all had a great Easter weekend 🙌

Had an awesome weekend so far. It’s my bday tomo (Monday) so Nancy took me for a surprise to the royal Albert hall to see interstellar and the music was performed live by hans zimmers an his orchestra – it was fucking unbelievable! Like so so good! It was SO loud too. I’ve loved Hans for years his music is in so many great films and I’ve posed to it numerous times too so it was a very good present and I didn’t know until we literally sat down! What a fantastic weekend!

Hey man I use ours ring. It’s class I keep it on 24/7 apart from the short time it needs charging which I do when I’m at my desk. Mainly use it for sleep and step tracking. But it does a lot more too. One thing I don’t do is let whatever it says dictate my actions.

Hey guys sorry couldn’t log in for 2 days but I’m back! Just been struggling hard since leg day 2 days ago but I’ve been on a recovery hype. Had chiro yesterday and then a deep tissue today and of course I’ve been wearing the recovery boots each day too.
Trained back and calves today which was a great session. Strength flying atm! Delts and triceps tomorrow. Hope you’re all having a good week so far!

So recently I’ve been having trouble with my two main exercises in my chest session. 1 press of stalled on so needed a swap and the other a super high incline was causing me a bit of pain so today I subbed in an incline smith and the flat nautilus press and they both felt so so good. Managed 4 plates a side on the smith for 5 reps last 2 spotted so look forward to getting those rep numbers up over the next few weeks as I dive into these new exercises!

I like to keep mine the same in Oreo. Only pull it lower nearer the end if you’re still holding a bit of water and need to dry out. Just lower a touch and watch what happens and assess.

So just back from the Arnold’s weekend away with Nancy. Such a good weekend catching up with so many people from the industry that I haven’t seen in so long. And of course the main event watching the bodybuilding finals which was so good to be at. Home, meals prepped for the week and on top of my week planning so I can hit the ground running tomorrow. Hope you all had a class weekend.

In for my back thickness day today so I hit 5 row variations and then calves. So today was:
Prime row
Low row
Hoist row
Cable row
Rope row/face pull
Seated calf
Standing calfVery good session and feeling nice and strong. Noticed my pumps just aren’t as good while ‘natty’ – not that I’m chasing a pump but I do get a decent one while training like I do and currently they’re not all that great – that’s will food etc all nailed. I could probs get in some more fluid so going to do that and increase my sodium to see if we get some more response.

Very much needed rest day today felt battered all day after that leg day yday. Lots of work done and a couple of walks with kojo. Got the recovery boots on again this evening. And now off for an early night. Back in for my back thickness day tomorrow!

Leg day today and I’m completely ruined … as I am after all leg day. Progressed everything. Again. It’s fucking hard and I have to be so locked in but we got it done. 10.5pps on the worlds heaviest leg press for 11 and then 150kg (6x26plates) for 10 on the pendulum were my highlights. I got home out the recovery boots on and had a pizza as I always do on leg days post workout. Going to sleep well tonight 😂

I know it’s different but I’ve taken it in checked baggage multiple times across the globe including USA. Never once had a problem. Should be fine – not advising but I’d to it if it were me

Class chest session today. I’ve run out of loading room on one of my presses and done the same weight for the last 5 weeks so going to switch that one out next week for a new exercise. Nice smooth day all meals in on time. I’ve found taking a meal to the gym to eat saves me so much time in the evening and it’s so much easier to get my last meal in without cramming meals or eating too late. Leg day tomorrow, always brings the anxiety 😂
