I personally weigh all my food raw as I find it more accurate and means I can vary cooking method. E.g. a potato cut into chips and air fried will weigh less than potato boiled due to water content. If it’s weighed out raw you can prepare it how you like! For proteins I also weigh them raw. If you’re consistent with cooking method you can likely weigh it cooked as Adam mentioned

Hiya Lucas, are you able to link any videos of you deadlifting? This would greatly help alongside with the above info

I couldn’t agree more with the guys above! I know a lot of people might say this but you’re super young and just getting started. You’re doing fantastic so far so honestly I don’t see the need for anything. Keep on doing what you’re doing for now and imo for the next at LEAST 5+ years

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

I agree with Alison’s notes!
If 5 meals suit you continue on.

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!

Hi 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.
