Hiya Anthony, hopefully your toe is on the mend! Yes, if you’re unable to train and will have considerably less movement at work it makes sense to reduce kcals. Hopefully you can manage cardio on a bike with that setup. Priority should be on getting that big toe better and doing what you can in the meantime 👍🏼

Hello hello happy Monday. Up to pack some orders and out for a chilly walk to post them. Breakfast, work and then in for quads and glutes. Great session! Still some kit not fixed in the gym and so I’ve made do with other things. Food went up a touch today too as visuals look good and bodyweight on average has dropped a little. Feeling great. Back home to finish off for the day and now chilling

Couldn’t agree more with the guys above and especially what Adam mentioned about finding the actual cause of the pain. If you haven’t already, do seek out help from a physio, osteo, chiro or professional to help you diagnose and rehab the issue properly. Masking the pain or temporarily bringing down inflammation does not resolve the underlying cause

I agree with Chloe! Finding some middle ground with steps and cardio may be the answer to keeping a level of intensity there with cardio yet maximising your available time to hit some more steps

Hi guys! Lovely chill Sunday today getting set up for the week ahead. Up for a walk, breakfast and then a little work setting up clients for the week ahead and some training analysis. Popped out for a coffee and cannoli and then back home to get a food shop in before the shops shut. I embraced my old lady inner self by finally making some jam. My sister had picked some plums from an allotment a week or two ago and they’ve been sitting in the fridge waiting to be made into jam. I FINALLY had time to do it. Came out lovely. Had a chill evening and a short walk to wrap up the day.

Hi guys, spent the day with my lovely client Beth at the UKDFBA show. Today was her first time in the wellness category and she did a fantastic job! Her class was fairly small with only 4 girls but she presented herself really well and has solidified her love for bodybuilding and the stage again

Hi guys happy Friday busy day! Up for a walk, breakfast, check ins then headed over to the hygenist for some dental work. Then drove over to the gym for a full leg session. I actually got there a lot quicker than anticipated as I thought I’d hit traffic so got some work done in my car 🫶🏼 then in for full legs. Great session, I’m not training for the rest of the weekend and so added in some of the hamstring work I usually do in tomorrows session. Really happy! No niggles no issues, it’s nice to be able to go into a training session with no niggles! Rushed home to jump back on client calls, email stuff for mad and finally chilling. Tomorrow I’ll be with my client all day as it’s her first show of the season!

Hiya Angelo, usually mobility work is dictated by what you’re trying to rehab or to improve range of motion/tight areas. Totally person dependant when it comes to movements and frequency

Hiya Jamey, I suggest if there’s any coaches you’re interested in working with have a look at their website/testimonials and perhaps book in for a consultation/intro call so you can ask about what they provide as well as price points. You may find some coaches offer different tiers of service and price points differ

Couldn’t agree more with Jordan!
– does it feel good?
– can you progress the movement?

I understand if you LIKE to think about things like resistance profiles and arm path but at the end of the day you’ll yield result from progressing a movement that you enjoy

Hi guys! Busy day today up for a gloomy walk, breakfast, check-ins and MORE laptop work. Then in for hams, glutes and delts. GREAT session. All movements felt amazing and my session was as follows

Standing single leg curl

Bstance RDL

Contralateral Bulgarian SS

Lying Leg Curl

Glute Drive

Abductions

Kickbacks

Calves

Lateral Raises

Rear Delts

DONE!

The main change in program was the addition of the cont bulgarians so I can be a little more balanced from left to right. I struggled to include a variation of unilateral movements or, in fact, ANY kind of split leg movement this time last year as I was battling progressively worsening SI joint pain/tightness. So far, I’ve included a few more split-leg movements, and it’s been going super well.

Visited my lovely grandma post-training then back home to finish work for the day, pack orders and finally chill

Hiya Orán that’s no problem! If you’re aiming to stay natural and you’re unsure about a certain substance/pre/ingredient, the highest form of drug testing is with WADA. I suggest you cross reference anything you’re unsure about through WADA’s banned substance list here.

https://www.wada-ama.org/en/prohibited-list

You can search the substance and see if it’s banned in/out of comp. Alternatively, ask here and we can help 👍🏼

Hi guys, struggled to get my log up yesterday! Yesterday was quads and glutes. Really good session. Food is up and the push up commences properly now. Today I’ve been at my laptop literally all fucking day. Calls, check ins, accounts. I haven’t managed my time well and got bogged down. It happens and it’s frustrating but tomorrow is a new day

Hiya Michael. Super normal for lots of women to experience that (me included) I understand a little better what she’s looking to achieve. I suggest she focus on growth in her lower. If she has more muscle in her lower, the appearance of body fat on top of muscle will be more pleasing. I very much hold a lot of my body fat in my legs and as I’ve put more muscle on, dieted down a few times and continually worked on specifically building my lower, I have found that as I diet down, my body fat distribution is a lot more even and looks a lot better in my lower. It a long game thing but in the long run, more muscle in her lower = the appearance of leaner legs after a diet 👍🏼
