Hiya Ben, I agree with the guys above completely. I know it’s shit hearing ‘you’re so young give it time’ but genuinely you still have some years of development to come. Seeing as you got these bloods, I’d focus on lifestyle changes to support your general health, having nutrition/training/sleep/stress management set up to aid proper recovery and hormone function. I know this sounds fluffy but these things genuinely make a hell of a difference. I’d suggest you take action with these things and then re-do bloods after a couple months to get another snapshot of how things are going.
Let us know a little bit more about your sleep, nutrition, training and stress levels so we can help. If you’re not sure about any of those, just having a little more structure and awareness will likely help a lot.

Hi guys happy Sunday! Very much felt like a Monday! Up for a walk, breakfast and a spin on the back of the motorbike 🏍️ then home for check ins and work before heading in to train hams glutes and delts. Hot but still a very good session, back home to finish off the day with a little work, more chores and finally bed. I know England are playing but I simply don’t think I’m able to stay awake!

Hi guys happy Saturday! Rest day for me today, up for a walk, check ins and work + editing work and a shit tonne of household chores. I am hoping and praying for a solid night sleep as the past 2 weeks have been shit.

Totally agree with Hilly. Visuals here would be important. If composition looks similar/leaner I’d still increase by 1-300 kcals and monitor from there 👍🏼

Hi guys another busy day today. Up for a walk, breakfast and an early appointment at the dentist. All good just a check up and hygienist appointment. Check-ins + editing today. Even though I’ve had two back to back rest days I’m pretty exhausted. Sleep hasn’t been fantastic over the last 4 weeks and I’m feeling it

Hi guys happy Wednesday! Up early for another shoot today. Managed to wrap a little earlier than usual which was great! Unfortunately hit some traffic on the way back. Continued on with check ins and client responses. Just finished my final meal and very much ready for bed

Totally agree with the guys above. Cardio is simply one of the tools available to help with fat loss

Hi guys happy Tuesday. Usually a rest day for me but I’m having to train back to back as I’m not able to train tomorrow or Thursday due to work and so I was in for hams glutes and delts today. Actually had a great session! Felt fresh and could push for all movements. Super happy. Back home to continue with work and check ins + calls and then popped out for my chiro appointment. I’ve been in a really good place with my hip/SI and so my appointment was very un eventful but positive. Wrapping up the day now as I have to be up early for tomorrows shoot

Hi guys happy Monday! Up for a MUCH cooler walk! Work and then in for legs in the afternoon. Really good session! Slowly working movements back up after a little reset and things feel great. No SI issues for a while now which has been a blessing. Home in the evening to finish off work for the day, house chores and finally off to bed

Hi guys, I woke up this morning and realised I didn’t do my log from yesterday! Honestly nothing crazy but I was up early for a shoot, finished up and then headed over to train before the gym closed! Back home after and I was totally exhausted. Just woke up after having a well needed lie in bed

Hi guys, happy Friday! Been a busy day of editing, client work and calls. Got a big chunk of editing off my chest with little amendments so that’s a huge relief. I have another shoot early tomorrow morning and so maybe I’ll have my chance at a lie in on Sunday! 🥲

Hiya Rus, this is totally fine! I agree with the comment above. Do what works for you and don’t overthink it. You’re in a phase of life where you’re busy, you’re already in a great place because you’re putting thought and effort around recovery and trying to structure your days to succeed. This is totally fine.
Remember that if you’re trying to be the best athlete that you can be, especially while you’re young, studying and maintaining good relationships, learning how to adapt and how to make the most out of your circumstances is key. You’re showing us that you’re very much doing that. Carry on!

Hi guys happy Thursday! Busy day today. I still felt rather tired from yesterday’s shoot. Up for a very warm walk, and then straight into check ins, client work and editing. In for quads and glutes today. Session was okay, as I said I felt quite tired from yesterday’s shoot physically and mentally. Likely from sweating so much and standing all day! Defo lacked a little umph so hopefully next session is a bit better after proper rest/sleep and hydration. Back home after to continue editing! Meals consumed and unfortunately a later bed time than usual
