Im in full agreement here, epic work and you are defo ready to grow.

I would drop the clen out and slowly taper food up into the holiday end of this month. Not only is this the most sensible move based on were body composition is now but it will mean you won’t see much of a rebound/water retention effect when away

Agree with the others here & this approach! It’s grow time 🤌🤝

There is definitely a difference in the large vs large oversize.. are you just comparing your large over size to the large because yes there will be a difference it will be smaller.. maybe you need to try a medium oversize if the large over size is too big & the large is to small?, this could be an option..

Rest day for me today, this morning I did client work, then Marc & myself shot for our clothing brand HECXTN, I then went shopping, more client work, now off for a hyperbaric chamber again.. really finding the benefits of these!

Weight up just a touch today, *0.3kg but the look is still strong, so again we’re both happy!

Getting excited now!!

Use a side lateral machine where the pad rests on your humerus and takes the elbow joint out of it or pop the cuffs above elbow level.

I also find that side laterals are much nicer on the joints when I’m gripping something so my forearms are engaged = elbow support.

Agree this right here! 👏

I would definitely advise a rest day, my body couldn’t continue without one, do you feel your pushing your self hard enough in the gym?

Have you had confirmation that it’s torn or the grade of it? Because I do agree with Clare here..

Rest day today however I did the top up from yesterday which was 3 lateral raises & 2 lat pull downs, just to help keep me full, I’m now in the hyperbaric chamber for 90mins today, just been working, haven’t got a step goal at current!

Today I see the body coming back to life even more so long may this continue! Really starting to feel excited now & know I made the right choice to continue!! Now it’s just about making it there hehe!

agree with the others, here, and with what Clare said! If your really struggling however, I do agree that getting some help from a physio would be useful!

I would personally go food first, then add in cardio / manipulate steps at a later date

Thank you so much for all the detailed answers! What I actually meant was whether having a small amount of carbs in my pre-workout meal could be an issue, since it’s only about 40 grams of carbs but I don’t feel like it negatively affects my performance during training.

I’d say no not if you are progressing, and feeling no issues with your digestion – I think you’ve found what works for you!
