Hi guys happy Wednesday! Up for a walk and today was beautiful, warm and sunny! Breakfast and then straight into work, check ins and training analysis. Also a TONNE of washing completed because of the nice weather. In for quads and glutes today. Bit of a hit and miss session. Started off really well and then started to tail off a little with some movements not feeling great. Split squats in particular. Popped over to see my grandmother after then back home fto finish work for the day. Went for a motorbike ride this evening and it has wiped me out! Meals consumed, steps hit. Ready for bed

Adjustable resistance profiles are not a must for everyone. If you have access to it great. If you don’t, don’t worry about it.

A reason to not use prime kit/kit with adjustable resistance profiles is if you prefer how the other machine (without it) feels. No need to overcomplicate it at all. It’s down to preference and access.

Hi guys happy bank holiday Monday! Up a little later but the usual routine is as had! Up for a walk, breakfast then straight into check ins and work. I ended up training a little later and forgot that the gym was to close a little earlier today! Still had a great ham, glute and delt session and got everything done! About to finish my final meal for the day and hopefully get to bed at a decent time!

Hi guys happy Easter Sunday! Same routine as usual. Up for a walk, breakfast and a little work before heading over to see family for a few hours. Then back to finish work for the day and make a lovely lamb ragu for dinner. Feeling a little more sore than usual (I very rarely get doms) likely after being away just need a little time adjusting. Not super excited to hit a bank holibob Monday session tomorrow but needs must!

Hi guys! Happy Saturday. Usual routine as always. Ended up being up WAY later than expected last night as I went with my partner for a job he got called out to. Ended up waking up a little later as I was really tired. Up for a walk, breakfast, work and then in for quads and glutes. Really positively surprised with how good everything felt despite feeling quite tired. Back home after for a little work, bit of shopping and now chilling!

Hi guys! I was having a bit of a problem logging in over the past couple of days! It’s been pretty uneventful! Had day 4 in Georgia where we hiked up to a waterfall. Flew back home from Georgia the day after and was absolutely exhausted! I did my best to stay up, work and complete a usual rest day. Tried to sleep at a reasonable time. I was totally wiped. Up today to resume my usual routine! I’m down around a kilo. Not ideal
But not really that deep. Getting back into the swing of things will have bw come back up. Up for a walk, breakfast, work and then in for hams and glutes. Really good session! Straight back in and things felt great! Back home to continue work. Finished my final meal and now ready for bed!

I think it’s important with any wearable (whoop, Apple Watch, garmin, oura ring) to take the data with a pinch of salt. For sure, some of it will be accurate but don’t let that completely dictate decision making! The example Hilly gave is the exactly why. I think learning what it feels like when you feel great vs not good and recognising signs that you should rest is so important for development.

If it’s to track basic data e.g. steps, if you want to wear something a little more lowkey/smart, an oura ring is likely the least conspicuous!

To echo the others, I usually like having dial in and pumpage!

If I’m travelling and haven’t any supplements I might have a little coffee but I do prefer the above!

Day two in Georgia! Up early for breakfast and then a trip to see a monastery, a church and then Didgori Battleground Memorial. Wow honestly SICK it looked like it was out of an anime. We could see the Caucasian mountains in the background and it literally didn’t look real. Headed back to the city and took a cable car down from the mountains. Tucked in to an early dinner and finally had some of my favourite Georgian food. Khinkali, Ostri, Adjaruli Khachapuri, and some cool fried khinkali. Honestly that’s been the best food on the trip so far. Came back to the hotel to complete check ins and do a little work and now having a tea and people watching!

Nothing wrong with chicken mince! If you worry about quality you can get it from a local butcher or ask if they can mince the chicken for you. I’ve had chicken, turkey, beef, pork and lamb mince from the supermarket and haven’t had issues. I actually find mince really easy to digest and super palatable in a build phase when food can get quite high.
