Would be interested to see more, what is your body weight doing on the current set up, I do however agree with Nath here, a holding phase prior to the cut & we do need some more information here to be able to advise more.

So with you feeling close to passing out are you don’t any different with your breathing when training triceps compared to other body parts? I know you mentioned you see a physiotherapist for your external rotation. Aside from what the team have said I would be asking the physiotherapist to assess your biceps and triceps to see if there is anything causing impingement in your arms

Another rest day, this one was unplanned but both me and meg think it’s the right thing to do, energy is is the flaw, slept well last night for almost 8hrs, have napped 2x today, this time of month an managing energy is super hard for me.. off for a massage shortly, jsut really focusing on recovery today and aiming to be back in tomorrow, with me it’s a case of managing my self at this time so often we have to pull back, we’ve done it for long enough now I know it’s only a benefit 🙏

Better we listen to your body reset and be ready to smash the rest of the week [/quote]
Always 🫶 thankyou xx

Amazing progress well done, If you are ok with a mini cut to get you in and out if you are able to hold on to your strength then go for it with the aim to pull off as much as you can before going back up again!

Rest day today, haven’t felt to great in my self, day 23 of my cycle so everything feels hard, the simple things, that’s why having a routine and a goal really does help me just get things done, I always think of the saying “how you do anything is how you do everything” .. it really helps on these days.

Hopefully I’ll be ok for training tomorrow and hopefully sleep will improves which is always something I suffer with at this time!

I agree with Adam above – but also, as a gym they are wanting to be the best for their members, I’m sure they will still want to know your feedback so i would t feel worried and would still say something if it was me!

Hey Brennan, thanks for all of the information here.

how long have you been dieting for?

Have you had any de-loads in this time – when was your last?

What is your sleep quality/ duration?

What is your stress like?

How long have you set this diet phase for?

It is true, we all experience sticking points during dieting phases, but If you’re not seeing any visual progress it may be worth either increasing output or changing calories – but you have stated your job is active – do you wear your tracker at work are these steps included in work?

Great day today, we travelled to be modified fitness in Chester – a gym well worth the visit! It was an open day & marc was there with his new sponsor Gym Leco, so of course I tagged along 🤣 trained glutes and hams – used some different equipment there today so wasn’t my normal session but still with the same movements I usually would – all in all a great day!!

Rest day today, currently in the hair dressers having my hair done! Seen a friend today for coffee and a shop.. for once not your standard boring rest day 🤣 my work load is a little lighter on a Friday so I made the most of it!

Haven’t been in the best of spirits with PMDD which is why it’s good to try and do something instead of moping around!

All in all a decent day 🙂

When I used to train quads I had the same, it was however down to the equipment, so have a word with the gym, on our machine I was able to put a hip thrust pad around it which helped. If its not the padding, it might be worth speaking to a physio.

Have you tried leaving the calf raises out prior to, to actually see if it does make any difference (if its not a padding issue)?

Training today was OK… felt pretty low energy, which happens from time to time, I already know why, last nights sleep was restless and although we went to bed the normal time of 9pm my latency was 50mins & I woke up at 4am!! Unsure why, but hay, gave my best!

Another session done – I always try and remember that 100% looks different each day and as long as we show up and give whatever that 100% is – I’m happy and satisfied knowing I couldn’t give more!
