Totally agree with the guys above. I keep protein consistent and adjust carbs and fats 👍🏼

Hi guys, winding down for the day! Up for a VERY chilly walk, breakfast and then straight into check ins and client work. Headed over to train glutes, hand and delts. Really good session! Headed over to see my grandmother, have a tea have a chat, then back home to continue a bit of work for the evening and now wind down and chill

Hiya Ben, if it’s not excessive I’m sure members will leave you alone eventually. If there’s a real issue, management will speak to you. Imo a little noise isn’t out of line, if you’re literally screaming, perhaps don’t do that. I think there’s a hard line that gets crossed by some where the noise and set lowkey looks like it’s performative. I’m assuming that isn’t you!

Hi guys! Rest day today for me. Out for a walk this morning, breakfast, check ins and a break in the middle of the day to pop into town and have a tea and walk about. Then back home to finish check ins, a client call and making selects from the shoot we did on the weekend. Steps hit, meals consumed and now chilling

Hiya Easton, I agree with the guys above absolutely consult with a physio to look at this so you can move forward with appropriate measures

Hi guys happy Monday! Finally a week where my schedule is normal. Up for a very chilly walk! It truly feels like winter now! Breakfast, check ins, training analysis then in for quads and glutes. Honestly, my hip and back were feeling iffy after some longer days of shooting but today I had a GREAT session

Adductors x2
Single leg leg ext x2
Nytram leg press x2
Smith Squats x2
Glute Drive x2
Abductions x2
Kickbacks x2
GHR x 2
Donkey calf raise x3

Somehow I managed to increase load for almost all movements just by a smidge. I’m chuffed and I’ll take it! Back home to pack an order for mad, onboarding clients and then cracking on with some editing work. I have a crazy amount to tackle over the next 4 weeks.

Hiya Liam, the guys above have given some really great advice. Please do let us know further, is your hesitation around pushing up food purely because of your A1c? How long ago was this and how has it been recently (if you know) if it is because of that, the advice below is solid

Hi guys. Another really busy day today. Up early for a walk, breakfast and then headed over to another full content day with the Louis Arjuna team! 5 models, a crazy massive penthouse in London and a hell of a lot of pictures, video and bts content with FADE. I am absolutely exhausted. Had a lovely off plan in a Korean place near home. Back home very late to tackle some check ins and get everyone started for the week. Finally going to bed now. I have a SHIT tonne of editing to do after these big shoots

Jamie! How exciting! I agree with the guys above completely but also want to highlight posing and stage presence. If there was one thing I wish I spent more time on before doing my first show it’s posing and presenting myself on stage a little better!

Hi guys another busy day today, up early for a walk, client calls, check ins, programs, fade calls for a shoot tomorrow. Then in for a quick ham glute and delt session then back home to continue chugging through. My back is FRIED from sitting. Really really disappointing as this time last week I felt so fresh.

Hiya Jordan. How exciting! I hope you enjoy the competing process in its entirety. A good coach will ensure it’s as enjoyable as possible as well as getting the hard stuff done. I know this has already been said but all the tbJP athletes are great options. Have a chat to a few, book in for consult calls if possible and find the right coach for you and what you want to achieve

Hi guys, VERY long day today. Up at 6 for a shoot in central with an audiology clinic in Harley street. They were very ambitious with the amount of content they wanted to get from today and in fairness were very prepared. However, there was literally not a moment to stop. Usually with shoots, we schedule things accordingly and that allows for meals, breaks, opportunities to hydrate. However This shoot was very full on. I’m certain that I’m dehydrated and ate meals late (literally while I was standing and shooting) I did a lot of client work on the train and tube commuting but came back this evening to finish up check ins and any responses. I’m very tired but have a busy couple of days ahead. For me, it’s always a case of having really busy periods and then really slow periods. Head down to get through this one!

Hiya Stefan, Nathan nailed it. The goal is to control the load and use the muscle rather than speed through reps and move load from A-B. Better control ultimately means better more accurate gains. I wouldn’t swing too far the other way and do crazy slow 20 second negatives though! I feel there’s a nice balance of controlling the negative, performing well and progressing with good form. Doing an excessively long negative I feel can have a drop off

Hi guys another training day for me as I have a shoot tomorrow and It could end very late. Up for a walk, check ins and work and then In for quads and glutes. I had a REALLY good session! Back to my usual pendulum (sad times) but progressed nicely, everything felt great no groin/hip issues just a little discomfort while doing adductors but nothing crazy. Back home to continue check ins, client calls and after sitting for so long between calls my back is broken. Up early tomorrow!

Jack, I commend your creativity but like the others mentioned, you’ll likely hit a ceiling with this really soon. I have heard of people using a landmine setup and managed to make it work for a belt squat as well as an attachment you get get for a squat rack to allow you to belt squat (like a lever arm) I personally would just opt for what the guys above mentioned as set up is way quicker and you’ll have a lot more room to progress the movement
