Hi guys rest day for me after two days training. Up for a walk this morning, breakfast and work/check ins/training analysis. Then spent late afternoon with my sisters doing pumpkin activities. Cute and fun. Nice to catch up without them doing manual labour on my stand! Back home now and I feel pretty tired. I’m around a week pre period and I feel wiped. Ready for bed

Hiya dimitri, I agree with a lot of the above! Steps are legitimate but finding the right balance for your goals, lifestyle, work and time is what I usually think of when suggesting a step goal. I do agree with the fact that your steps are pretty high. I think what you and the others have suggested about adjusting steps/kcals. Having the right balance for you is the goal

Hi guys! LONG day today catching up. Editing, check ins, training hams glutes and delts, checking up on my grandma and a very quick food shop. Doesn’t sound like much but everything requires time! Back at it tomorrow. After coming back from the yoga show, I was down 1.5kg even after staying on top of meals, hydration and sleep. It took it out of me more than I expected. This week I expect bodyweight will be back in a normal spot. Visuals still really good so the build continues!

Hi guys happy Monday. I do feel pretty smashed after the past couple days. More mentally but a little physically. Up for a wet and windy walk to the postbox to post off orders, breakfast then straight into check ins and work. Off to train quads and glutes and things just felt hard, the gym was busy and so the order of my session was a little different but we got there in the end. Back home to continue work and as usual, things that need to be done will have to bleed into tomorrow! Ready for bed

Hi guys! It’s been a busy weekend and I can’t lie I’m wiped. Final day at the MAD stand and it was considerably busier than Saturday and Friday. Lots of chatting, pretty much standing and on my feet straight for 8 hours. The drive home wasn’t too bad but I’m just so ready to not be standing and preferably to be lying down. So ready for bed and ready to start my usual routine next week. I’ve had a lot of fun!

Hi guys. Day 1 at the MAD stand at the yoga show. It was so busy. I pretty much stood from 10am to 6pm and my legs, lower back and hip flexors are beat. Back home after to catch up with client responses and check ins, a very quick training session that honestly I probably should have left and now finally wrapping up. Tomorrow is the longest busiest day of the weekend so we’ll see how it goes!

MemberOctober 17, 2025 at 10:18 pm in reply to: Ab training frequency and exercise selection in upper/lowerHi Ege, if you’ve been doing leg raises for a while it’s absolutely fine to swap it out. I agree with Oscar, it requires quite a bit of stability and if you’re already tired out (hip flexors) from legs, opting for a movement that requires less stability could help you progress it. Do you have any ab machines in your gym?

hi guys. really busy day today and i’m starting to get a little bogged down by workload. hence why i’m up so late catching up! Up early for breakfast and a walk then sorting through stock to bring to the yoga expo this weekend. I had to leave pretty soon after as my unloading slot was at 12 and i KNEW i’d hit traffic driving across london. Set up the stand roughly with some more to do tomorrow morning, food shop, back to the air bnb to eat pre and then train at a little puregym. I had legs and made do with anything there. Actually had a pretty good session, Final shop to get bits for the stand and then back to the air bnb for check ins, training analysis and dinner. I am wiped and i havent even started thr weekend yet.

Hi guys happy Wednesday. Today went a bit tits up. Up a little late as I slept through my alarm. Rarely happens but of course it happened today. Up for a short walk, breakfast, check ins then driving over to pick up a table + spin wheel for the Yoga show this weekend. I’ll be exhibiting with MAD. I then had to drive over to my grandmas and do the usual Wednesday shinanigans have a chat, make her some lunch and give her some company. I got totally stuck in traffic ended up popping off for a family thing this evening and before I knew it it was 9pm. I had so much to do today yet the back and forth tanked the time I had available. Really annoying but I have only myself to blame. Roll on tomorrow where I’ll have to cram a lot in

Hiya Jack, if you can please outline your diet including any sauces or vegetables you eat. Outline your activity like steps and training and how much you drink in a day. How long has this been going on for? How has recovery been? Are you juggling a lot in life/work right now? A lot of the time when it comes to digestion a lot of surrounding questions need to be asked to help give helpful advice!

Hi guys another pretty busy day. Up for a walk, breakfast and some check ins before doing a podcast with beyond the muscle. It was fun to have a chat even if it was all about me hahaha! I am a yapper and hope I don’t come across too serious or silly! In for hams glutes and delts today. My pre workout exploded in my bag 🙏🏼🥰💫 with all the liquid as I pre made it to drink it was I was driving 😍🫶🏼💫 so that pretty much went all over my car seat, belt, knee sleeves, straps, kickback cuffs. The lot 🥳 super fun happy days. I decided to leave my soggy bag and had a pretty good session anyway. Back home to scrub said bag, check ins, packing orders and running to the postbox before the postman comes and finally chilling. I NEED a rest day tomorrow
