Okay so recently I’ve been loving the combo of maple syrup CoR, a few cracks of pink salt and then the addition of vanilla OR custard cream iso pro. I can eat this for literal years and still be excited to have it

Hi guys happy Friday! Up for my check in. Measurements and visuals are in a good place and i’m defo good to keep pushing up. I’d have liked bw and measurements to be a little further along but training has been progressing well and so I’ll remain patient. I’ve increased food recently too so I’ll keep my head down and keep on keeping on. In for hams and glutes and my SI/groin wasn’t toooo bad but not amazing. Little posing too. Back home to finish off some work and now chilling for the night!

Hiya Daniel, I have never used a seatbelt on a hack squat so I can’t comment much on this. What I can agree with is that lots of people have built great legs without the use of one.

Hi guys happy Thursday, rest day for me! Out for a walk before the rain hit, breakfast and then settled into client work, check ins and training analysis. Went out for a walk late afternoon again and omg this is so silly. I tried to get on my partners motorbike, heard a pop (not painful at all) and this evening my SI and groin have started feeling bad with a dull ache. Honestly, annoying because I JUST got adjusted by my chiro on Tuesday but it’s one of those things. I’ll see how it goes and take it from there.

Hi guys happy Wednesday! Up for a walk, work and check ins and then in for training a little later. Someone tried to break into my car 🫶🏼✨👍🏼🌈 and failed. I literally have the silliest most big standard old ass Honda jazz I have no idea why anyone would go for it especially as all I have in there is some gum and my aux chord 😂 so fun to come out and see that! All was well and I could still get to the gym just some lovely crowbar marks on my car door. Session was okay, I ate a little close to training and was still digesting as I was training so the first half I was fighting being sick. Maintained most movements which isn’t too bad at all. Next time… I’d rather be on the hungry side. Visited my lovely grandma after and then back home to wrap up and wind down for the day. Fingers crossed my car is still outside tomorrow

Hiya Jayce, Jordan got straight to the point! Don’t do movements that cause you pain. I suggest you continue to train and do movements that don’t cause you any issue. So yes, keep in other leg work that doesn’t make the sciatica worsen. Even if form is good, some movements can trigger sciatica and so I also suggest you consider getting some bodywork in. Chiro/osteo/sports massage and mention this in your consultation. I feel we (Tbjp athletes) often mention and suggest to get bodywork done when things like this start to appear. It should be considered just as important as getting your meals in, training hard and recovering. If you ignore things like this when it’s seemingly just a whisper of pain, it’s absolutely possible that later down the line it’ll be screaming at you.

Better execution is on the top of the list for me. Without fixing that (if it’s an issue) it makes no sense to adjust anything at all. After that you can consider adjusting other variables

Massively agree with Jordan and Meg. You do NOT want to be rounding your lower back. If your back starts rounding in the set, you’re not strong enough (yet) to maintain position and control the load. Reset the movement and work it back up. Just because you CAN move it, it means literally nothing if you cant do it right!If you’re stuck with this, share a video of your training and we can help.

Hi guys happy Monday! Up for a wet and windy walk, breakfast and then a bit of work. My laptop has been triggering my migraine symptoms bad, I adjusted a setting so the display is a bit easier on my eyes and it helped quite a bit. That and reducing my screen time has helped while I’m not feeling so great. In for hams glutes and delts too. Great session! Back home to continue work for the day, short walk this evening and now chilling! I’ve increased food a touch too as I’ve been teetering around the same weight for a while now. Onwards with the build!

How long is it between meal times Luna?
I tend to think more about how long it has been between meals e.g. 2-4 hours. I always bring my post workout meal with me too (cream of rice and whey) so I don’t fall into the issue of running late with my mealsInstagram - lulubellelifts

Hiya Ben, I wish you all the best with your first shows! Let us know how you get on and if you have any questions throughout the process.
I agree with many of the others above that environment matters, and you sound as if you’ll be in a good spot to crack on and will manage well. I love what Marc mentioned. A lot of great athletes can get shit done even with external stressors and environment ‘against them’. If your mindset is in the right place, I have no doubt you’ll have a great experience for prep. I find/found prep quite transformative for myself and clients.

Hi guys happy Sunday. Rest day today for me. Usual day up for a walk. I’ve had a few days of broken sleep and as the day went on I started to feel migraine symptoms. I am also 7 days away from my cycle. Riding out the day cause I can’t lie I feel not super duper funky fresh air

Hi guys happy Saturday! In for legs today and the session was great! I was a little apprehensive about how busy the gym might be on a Saturday and doing one of my bigger sessions but it was surprisingly quiet! Great session, food shop, little bit of work and chilling for the evening!
