Hi guys! Rest day for me and had a sport massage booked in. I do feel a bit beat up. Not super bad but going in I mentioned some niggled in my knees when I almost never have knee issues. My quads, calves and glutes were VERY tight. Even just walking around after that session I can feel quite some difference in my knees. In for quads and glutes tomorrow so we’ll see how it goes!

Just chiming in here about the sissy squat station, that was something I got myself half way through lockdown and it was fantastic. The info Clare has given is superb. Dumbbells and bands alongside a pull up bar/ dips would be great

Hi guys happy Wednesday. Long day but a good day all in all. Up for a walk, breakfast, check ins and work then in for hams and glutes. Great session! Headed over to my grandmas to make her some early dinner and have a chat and a cup of tea then back home to wrap up for the day, finish meals and finally sleep.

Hiya Oliver, I second what Sass mentioned. I would look closely at execution of movements. If you have any training videos please share. I’d look at this before making any changes to volume 👍🏼

Totally agree with Sara and Kuba. Use a cool bag and ice packs. Food should stay cool and should be absolutely fine to consume 👍🏼

Hi guys happy Monday! Up early for a walk, breakfast, work and then in for legs! Had a really good session! Zero interruptions and got to try some new booty builder kit. Back home for meals and work, quick shop in the evening and now ready for bed and a rest day tomorrow!

Hiya Mel, first things first, speak to your coach! I’m sure they’ll be willing to explain why you’re following that protocol. That will likely calm any anxieties you might have and build further trust/trust in the process.

I doubt any of us would be able to properly comment on this without seeing your physique/check in pictures. Your coach should have all the data and previous understanding of what’s best for you at your current standing

Hiya Ben, the guys above have covered this well and I agree. Food sources don’t need to change at all but if it’s something you want, then it can. Some coaches may change food sources in a prep to help with satiety if you’re really struggling. There does come a point where you’ll feel hunger regardless and that can’t be helped. But for the most part, if you’re digesting things well and getting the result you need then you’re good.

Hi guys happy Saturday! Up for a walk, breakfast, work and then in for hams and glutes. The gym has expanded with some new pieces of kit. Got my session done and then had a go with a few of the new pieces! Some really nice stuff that may find a place in my program at some point! I can feel I need bodywork and so that’s something I’ll get booked in soon. At this point with my chiro I’m waiting till she comes back to get myself sorted!

Hi guys happy Friday! Rest day for me mostly consisting of me being at my laptop! Out for a walk this morning and evening. SI has been a bit better even after yesterday’s quads and glutes and so hopefully tomorrows ham and glute session goes well 👍🏼

I can’t add much more to the above! Clare gave a really comprehensive response that clearly outlines the benefits!

Hi guys happy Thursday. In for quads and glutes today! Up for a walk first thing, breakfast, check ins and work before heading into the gym in the afternoon. Digestion has been a bit slower and so the time between meals and training was considerably longer just so I wouldn’t feel sick. Likely just a patch that will sort itself out! Had a really good session, maintained most lifts and a small increase on glute drive. Happy days. Back home to continue and wrap up for the day. Final meal very late but hopefully tomorrow being a rest day will have my appetite feel a little better

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. Rest day for me today! Up early for a very wet and windy walk, breakfast, check ins and then popped out to get a motorbike helmet (random I know but I need one if I’ll be sitting on the back of my partners) back home for a little more work and then off to have an early dinner/my normal meal for me with my grandma. Spent some time with her today then back home to wrap up the day
