Hi guys, busy day in Hamburg today. Lots of walking, bratwurst, kaisershmarrn and hot non alcoholic mulled wine. Catching up with work in the hotel for most of the afternoon and just finished for the night. Flying back tomorrow just in time for Christmas

Hiya David. I’ve been an avid user of my fitness pal. I don’t really ‘set goals’ on the app but I know my target kcals and Macros and use the app to help me track. I’d be careful with some of the data on my fitness pal! Some of the foods that are available to log are inaccurate and so you should always cross reference the nutritional information to ensure it’s accurate and correct.

Hi guys! Off to Hamburg today with Louis and his nieces for some festive fun. Still have a bit of work to do while we’re away but I’m sure I’ll find some downtime to get that done 👍🏼

The guys above have covered this well. If training performance is good, bodyweight is coming down, you’re recovering and progress is being made you can absolutely keep cracking on. No need to implement a re-feed. As the guys above mentioned, as you get deeper into a diet you may experience some things that indicate that you might need a re-feed or rest.

Hi guys happy Sunday! Had a lie in as I started to feel more ill last night. Up for a walk and to hunt for wherever Amazon have delivered some Christmas presents. Spoiler: I can’t find them and went to 5 different pick up points. Work and rushing around dropping things off with my sister as I won’t see her till after christmas! Rushed back and did a little work and spent the evening at Christmas at Kew! Back home now to carry on with work. Having a lie in has majorly thrown me off and I lowkey regret it but sleep hasn’t been the best recently and I’m feeling run down so needs must. I’ll be up late wrapping up client work and editing

Hi guys happy Saturday. I’ve woken up feeling okay and so training is on today. Up early and then in for hams glutes and delts. As the session progressed I could feel that I was struggling a bit more than usual and felt under recovered. Maintained and progressed a few lifts but left feeling knackered. Back home for check ins and work before bracing myself and heading into town to get some Christmas bits. I slowly started to feel more shit as the day went on. Work and editing this evening and now watching die hard to round off the night. Well needed rest day tomorrow

I second what kerry has asked! If you have a video of your training we can suggest adjustments specific to you 👍🏼

Hi guys! Happy Friday! I struggled to upload my log yesterday as the site was down but we’re back! So yesterday was a rest day for me! Mostly consisting of check ins and work, steps, put up the Christmas tree (super late I know) and chilling. Today the usual routine, up for a walk, breakfast, check ins and then in for legs. Overall had a good session but feeling a little run down like i could be coming down with something again. More just sinus issues and a dry throat. Still got it done! Back home to finish work for the day then popped into town to collect some packages and some editing this evening 👍🏼

I agree with a lot of the above and I’m interested to see what you’re currently doing. I’ve been on a journey to calf improvement myself and similarly to Sas, I saw truly great benefit from training them 4X a week at 3-4 sets each HARD. That was after years of doing MAYBE one to two sets a week with not great effort.

Totally agree with Sass! Multiple readings at different points of the day for a few days will help you get a more accurate depiction of your BP. You can usually get blood pressure monitors super easily off Amazon or in a health store (boots, Superdrug in the U.K.)

I’d do this before adjusting anything

Hi guys happy Wednesday! Up and out for a chilly walk, breakfast and some work before heading in for hams glutes and delts. I usually do Bstance RDLs with dumbbells but over the past few weeks I’ve been really struggling to hold 55kg dumbbells. Anything above is very thick and I’m struggling to get reps in as grip is becoming a limiting factor. So today, I trialled a bstance RDL on the belt squat and it was so much better for grip. The sensation is a little different and if I’m honest I DO prefer a dumbbell but for the sake of being able to progress the movement, I’ll be at the belt squat for the foreseeable! Great session on the whole. Popped over to my grandmas today hello have a chat and a cuppa! Then back home to wrap up the day, cool my final meal and chill!

Agree with all the guys above. If you’re looking for a coach, above all, you should be booking in for a consult and speaking to them directly about the services they offer. After you speak to a handful of people you’ll likely realise what It’s not really what you mentioned above. As for how much you should pay, that depends on the service you’re seeking, the experience the coach has and obviously your budget.

Hi guys happy Monday! Up and out for a walk, breakfast, check ins and work and then in for quads and glutes. Some load increases and maintained reps and load for some movements. Overall a really good session! Back home to continue the day with some work, final meals consumed and now chilling

Hiya Giorgi, if you can, please share some of your training. A video would help greatly here. You’re likely overthinking it! Progress the movement/the variation, if it causes pain or discomfort, adjust as needed 👍🏼
