    Hiya Fred, It’s person dependant imo. From my own experience, i’ve done both and haven’t had huge issues with performance either way. Right now I prefer to do leg extensions before any of my compounds (squat, leg press, pendulum) because It feels a lot nicer on my knees. Some will prefer the opposite and find the other way round suits much better.

    Hi guys! Happy Sunday. So far, a chill Sunday with family. I was up super late last night, so a bit of a lie in. Sunday is typically a rest day for me where I tie up any odd ends for the week work-wise, try and chill (physically) as much as I can, hit steps, meals and liquids, and honestly relax! Just finished a bit of work and about to take Mr Jeeves (the best dog in the world) on a walk to look at some of the Christmas lights in the neighbourhood. Likely will be up late tonight to pick up Louis from the airport (his flight is delayed) ready for the week ahead!

    Hi guys! Happy Saturday. Up early for breakfast and early to train as I’m spending the day with family. Meals all ready to go for the day. Hams glutes and delts went super well! In and out before the gym got too busy! Got the tree and spent a LARGE portion of the day making kileche. (Assyrian pastry) it’s a LONG process but a Christmas tradition that can’t be missed!

    Hi guys happy Friday! Up early to pack orders and walk to the post box. Breakfast, work and then in for legs. Session was OK not fantastic like the front end of the week. Sleep hasn’t been great this week and I feel it’s taking its toll a little! Still got everything done and maintained performance. Back home to continue on work for the day and finally chilling now

    Hiya Luna just a heads up, all the tbjp athletes are coaches. I suggest if you’re looking for a coach (tbjp athlete or not) to reach out to them and book in for a call or consultation. That will help you know if you will potentially work together well, and if they can provide the service you want/need.

    Hiya Harriet, totally agree with Peter, I’d aim to make 100-150kcal increase and monitor from there. Utilise low volume carbs to help with this e.g. honey or dried fruits👍🏼

    Totally agree with Oscar! Keep training as is. No need to change anything as you start a diet phase 👍🏼

    I vary the types of bread I eat! I enjoy sourdough but enjoy a variety of others when I fancy. As long as they digest well you’re good 👍🏼

    Hi guys happy Wednesday! BUSY day today! Up after a late night seeing Jamiroquai, sick evening! Up for a short walk, breakfast and then a lot of laptop work! Check ins, training analysis, new starters then off to train hams glutes and delts. Later than usual but a great session all the same. I felt a bit rushed as I was keen to get over to my grandmas before it got too late. Just a busy morning that took longer than anticipated. Popped over to see my grandma and then back home to wrap up the day. Up super early tomorrow to drop Louis at the airport

    Hi guys! Happy Tuesday! Usual routine today, rest day, up for a walk, breakfast, check ins and then spent a little time with one of my clients going over some posing, then back home to continue working, short trip to Waterstones (I would like to get into reading more and I want to make more time for it in 2026) and now out for the evening to see Jamiroquai 🕺

    Hiya Holden, the guys above have explained it right to the point. It’s totally different. Also, self explanatory but focusing predominantly on Squat Bench and Deadlift. It’s about lifting from A to B in the most efficient way possible rather than maximising opportunity for hypertrophy.

    Hi guys happy Monday! Up for a walk, breakfast and work before heading in to train. I felt miles better after a good night sleep. In for quads and glutes and I had a crazy good session? I had to double take on multiple machines to check I had it loaded correctly because everything was flying. Super happy! Back home to continue on with work and I can’t lie I’m getting overwhelmed again. Just a busy patch
