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 👍🏼

Hiya Orán, Benners is correct. Have you seen a physio/chiro/osteo to help diagnose and rehab the issue? Sometimes these things can take longer than a couple of weeks to subside. With any injury/niggle a huge amount of patience is required.

Please outline what your anxieties around BPC157 are. Is it because you want to remain natural? Or is it because you’re unsure of the use? Letting us know helps us respond in an appropriate way 👍🏼

Hi guys! Busy day at WNBF supernaturals with my sister. The standard gets better and better each year! I didn’t handle her prep but was supporting as a ‘coach’ backstage with pumping up, glaze, keeping the mood light and honestly supporting my sister! She needs to bring better condition (she knows this) had a lovely day catching up with both my sisters talking about their recent competitions it was really nice

Also just to add, how is your stress management? Are you quite busy/handling a lot right now or over the past month?

Hiya Adam, just to confirm, you’re falling asleep at a certain time and waking up at 2am consistently? What time are you falling asleep? Are you then staying up from 2am totally awake or are you managing to drift back off to sleep? While unbroken sleep is preferable, if you’re able to drift back off to sleep, training is progressing, you feel rested and able to progress on the whole I wouldn’t stress too much about it.

Hi guys late one today! Up and out for a walk early, check ins, meetings and then in for legs. Great session! Feels good to be training and eating a bit more knowing I’m making positive change. Watched my twin sister compete at Western euros via livestream. (She’s in Finland) Extremely proud that she came second overall with a gold medal for the deadlift, silver for bench and pb’d for squat. I can’t remember now if she got a medal I was just so happy she pbd. Great day!

Totally agree with the fact that if she wants to lose fat off her lower half she needs to be in a deficit/diet. If she has a lot of muscle in her legs and she’s trying to downsize (muscle wise) then training needs to be adjusted and likely sit at maintenance/deficit. If it’s the fact that she holds more body fat in her lower half then that’s a different story.

I’m a little confused as to what the goal is here (maybe just me)

She’s looking to downsize overall but maintain a fit and lean look?

If that’s the case but she wants to appear leaner in her legs, it sounds counter intuitive but building more muscle in any area will always improve the way body fat sits/looks. If that is the case, I’d suggest a diet first, and then focusing on building her legs and eating in a slight surplus. Training would need to prioritise legs too. 👍🏼
