Hey Guys!! Had some nice chicken teriyaki for dinner last night then went to bed. Didnt sleep great in the capsule I think jet lag is kicking in!! Got up early and went o the red bamboo shrine place in Inami, then went to have a look at the pagoda and deer park in Nara. Heading over the Castle In Osaka now then off to Kobi this evening. Excited to try the beef! Heading back to Kyoto tonight might pop out! Haven’t trained and nutrition has been tough!

Hey guys!! Had a phenominal pull workout yesterday at kings with james and Damien. The new plan that Jordan has given us is crazy!! Really good workouts so far! Rest day today and I’m flying out to Tokyo today. Not quite sure how nutrition and training will be while I am away! Have to keep you guys posted on that! What do you guys want me to talk or post about while I’m away? All topics are fine.

Hi Samir,
I have quite high sodium I have atleast 6-8 grinds of salt on my meals. Except my pre and post workout meals as they’re sweet not savoury options for food. I use one potassium capsule a day too.

Hey buddy, as Ryan says the blood tests will give you the results. In terms of size everyone is different. I’m not sure that they will ever go back to their largest size!

Hey buddy, before bed is fine. I would probably wait 20/30 mins after you eat. I personally prefer LISS cardio and I don’t measure heart rate. You can eat after if you have meals to get in or go straight to be. I don’t love going to bed on a full stomach so I probably would go to bed after. I try my best to do mine fasted first thing in the morning.

Cramps can be a sign of electrolyte balance being off. Every day I drink 3l of water with 8g sodium and 3g potassium in. Great book called ‘The Salt Fix ‘ by a leading scientist on electrolytes
I used to have the early waking problem (3-5am) all the time (esp when on Tren)… I found that having a mixture of salt/sugar helped me to get back to sleep easy. If the room is cold enough, just have this by your bedside
I’ve copied this from my notes. Hope it helps
Early Waking: Back to Sleep Shake
Whey or Casein protein
Salt (½ tsp)
Honey (1-2 tsp)
Milk, Coconut Milk or Almond Milk
Matt Stone explains in his book Eat For Heat:
“The salt and sugar mixture is an absolute must for nighttime stress events. For wakeups between 2-4 a.m., accompanied by a feeling of excess adrenaline circulating through your system (adrenaline peaks at this time), salt and sugar under the tongue is the only way to go. You don’t want to be chewing anything, wandering around the house looking for food, opening the fridge and looking at bright lights when hoping to fall back asleep, and so forth. You want to remain as unstimulated as possible. Keep the sugar/salt mixture by the bedside for easy and thoughtless access until you stop having middle-of-the-night wake-ups.”
Since I have been consuming honey and salt at bedtime, sleep deprivation has become a thing of the past. I now sleep straight through the night, waking up refreshed and energized and I am less likely to have a dip in energy throughout the day. Most of all, though, I look forward to bedtime knowing that within moments I will very quickly drift and remain in a smooth, sound sleep. Now, not only do I sleep longer, but the quality of the sleep I am getting has dramatically improved.
As an added precaution I also have a Himalayan salt bedside table lamp which removes the negative ions from the environment and replaces them with positive ones. This removes the electric smog that is caused by electronic devices such as laptops and mobile phones, so the air is clear and therefore, improves air circulation and promotes healthier, fuller breathingHey Greg, thanks so much for al that info! That’s in my notes now!!!
