    Hiya John, it’s person dependant. Depending on recovery and digestion some people prefer to have protein sit higher or even on the lower end. It could be beneficial or disadvantageous.

  • I think calling yourself stupid is harsh! I think listening to your body and not pushing through just to feel as if you’re ’sticking to the plan’ is important. Often, the sooner someone accepts that they need to pull back for a short time, the faster they recover and can get back to training 👍🏼

    Hi guys happy Thursday. Usual routine commenced! Up and out for a walk, breakfast and then work. I’ve felt pretty low energy today. Very much ready for bed

  • I personally would wait to get the results from your medical professional. From there they can discuss the severity of your situation and the specifics around your expected recovery time and course of antibiotics. You’ll be able to ask questions from there. They may say it’s okay to train, they may advise against it. The most important thing is that you recover so you can get back to training and doing what you love.

    Hi guys another late night unfortunately! Also another busy day, up for a walk with the dog, breakfast, work, gym, back home for work and then me and the dog went to visit my grandma this evening. She absolutely loves dogs and it brought her a lot of joy to see him for a little. Back home to walk him before finally getting into bed.

    Hiya Noah, that sucks but I totally agree with the girls above, especially what Sara mentioned about rehab not being a linear process! Be prepared to pull back if you feel significant pain. I personally would spend a period of time (couple weeks) avoiding movements that cause any aggravation. And then re/introduce movements at a lower load. It’s hard when it’s your groin as it can affect leg days. (I’ve been through that myself through the course of 2024). There is literally no rush! Take time to heal properly.

    Hi guys happy Monday. Up for a walk with the dog, work and then in for quads and glutes. Miles better session than last week! Food is also up as weight was super stable last week even with some off plans. Back home to continue for the day then out for a walk this evening with the dog.

    Honestly for me it’s a case of not dwelling over it and moving on. Although, if this is a recurring issue then it needs to be addressed. Over the years that I’ve spent training, I’ve come to be at peace with the fact that not every single session is going to feel truly amazing. Remember to look at things on a larger scale, are you progressing over time? Has your physique changed over the years? If yes you’re doing just fine even with a few shit session sprinkled in.

    Hiya, I couldn’t agree more with Kerry and Allison. I feel it’s not a good idea during training as breathing/bracing/stacking could be affected. Some people opt to wear a corset/’waist trainer’ purely for awareness of their midsection but I feel all the things Allison mentioned would make far more of a difference to midsection and waistline. In my personal opinion, I wouldn’t bother.

    Hi guys happy Friday. Up for a walk, breakfast and work and then in for a full leg session. Felt like a bit of a slow start waiting for some bits of kit but overall a good session! Back home to continue on with work and then a short walk this evening to end the day

    Hi guys happy Wednesday! Up early to pack and send orders for MAD. I launched a new colour for our leggings and so I’m trying to stay on top of orders. Breakfast, check ins, new starter plans and then off for hams glutes and delt. Really good session and feeling more situated with the new floor plan of the gym. Visited my grandma for a couple of hours and then back home to wrap up for the day
