Soooo the Mrs took me to CrossFit today 😂 don’t worry I’m not passing over to the dark side. Haha. We wanted to do something together and for some reason I agreed to that. Absolutely cooked me. I haven’t ran in years and thus session had 400m run ten times in it plus other weighted stuff which was kinda fine. But the running stuff damn broooo that completely cooked me my body is hurting right now in ways I haven’t felt in a very long time. Long muscle soak bath and chilled rest of day for me 😂

If you think your capable and can control your emotions when your super lean and dieted down and you really wanna do it then do it. Although maybe worth finishing this prep out with him if he’s good and getting results. This is really up to you my man.

Rest today but had a nice busy day with work. Can’t remember if I said or not but Nancy is a really good cook and she’s cooking our last meal everyday so we have it together and I just have what she cooks – she always cooks for 4+ so I always get massive portions! And the food is unreal. It’s times like thus in always look forward to then I’m on prep so it’s nice to actually be doing it. So far this week we’ve have (for last meal) chilli con carne, cottage pie (unreal) and tonight we had sausage tortellini. And tomorrow we have fillet steaks. Getting fed like a king and loving it 😍

Hard to comment here from the sidelines without more detail and of course seeing you. But if you’re in the best shape of your life that’s saying something and usually that comes with fatigue, low food and feeling tired. Just the price of playing the same. Not saying it couldn’t be handled better as I honestly don’t know without the full picture. But you HAVE to communicate this with them. I’d ask for a call as text messages like this can be read wrong and you already sound pretty sensitive – no offence. So have a call and discuss like men/adults

Had a good session today have recently been crazy busy with the group launch I’m running so have been trialling out some upper sessions so I still have my training frequency if all body parts in there even if session amount is slightly down and tbf I’ve really enjoyed it. Not once muscle gets crazy fatigues so I’m basically fresh for each new muscle and feel very strong across the session. Never done upper/lower but liking what I’ve done so far this week for sure.

In theory – To fill intramuscular triglycerides and sensitise the body to load carbs

At this stage you’re already at around 1000 g of carbs, which is a huge amount and will probably increase ( is the sticky rice measured raw? ) What’s the highest amount of carbs you’ve ever eaten in the offseason? Do you currently have no vegetables in your diet?

Hey mate it’s about 800 give or take and around 5500kcal so not crazy but it’s deffo harder all being clean food (no cereal/squares bars etc) … those are cooked rice amounts from the rice packs just for ease tbh.

I’ve eaten 7500 for 6 months as my ‘highest’ but not sure what the exact carbs were. Well over 1000 though 😂

I have salad a few times a day but not much tbh, last thing I want to eat when food is so high lol

Ok so I just wanna give some love to the carrot cake performance iso protein – damn that shit is food. And I’m in Off season with no interest in food tbh so that is saying something. Genuinely one of the best flavours I’ve had in a very long time!! Anyone else tried it yet?

Had some recent trouble with pinning and a bad few shots, my shoulders have been really getting bad pip and I actually had to go to the hospital to get my shoulder looked at and drained. Nightmare but it’s all good now. I couldn’t work out what it was but I think it was some primo I got from a mate, I’ve used the brand before but I know sometimes brands can change carrier oils so I imagine it’s that as he said it didn’t sit well with him – hence me getting it off him. Anyway, That’s the only thing I’ve changed so pretty confident it’s that. I just pinned it again now 😂 and yes pretty confirmed. Swapping that shit straight out – annoying I’ve back loaded a full weeks worth of gear though. Meh.

Took an impromptu day off today as Nancy is not so well, so I had to do a few things for her. Also cooked us fajitas this evening and chilled out with a movie. Seems like forever since we did that but was nice. Lots of work going into the new Intensive 8 coaching programme I’m launching next Friday too! Exciting times!
