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. 👍🏼

Hi guys happy Thursday! A well needed rest day and day spent catching up on so much shit. Up for a walk, breakfast, check ins and then absolutely blasting through my accounts. I can’t believe I got almost everything done. Just a few more bits then it’s all good to hand over. Finally got round to doing basic house things like hoover? Laundry? When I get busy everything falls to the wayside and it’s not till I seemingly ‘look up’ I realise I’ve let things go for too long! Feel like I’m on top of things a bit better. Maybe it’s just because I got a nice new candle from Sainsbury’s who knows.

If you’re performing the movement with better form/quality and progressing it well, there may be no need to increase volume. I’d stick to what you’re doing if you’re seeing growth and progressing well. You can try add in another set in time and see if you recover and progress from it but for now if you’ve just made this adjustment I’d stick to it

Hi guys happy Wednesday. Busy day! Up for a walk, check ins and a call with a client to go over a little posing and have a catch up on the lead up to her first show. Really nice to have a chat! In for hams glutes and delts today. Solid session even with back to back training. Really need the rest day tomorrow. Visited my lovely grandmother and then raced back home to continue work. I’m so far behind on the accounts for MAD and I’m seriously stressing about it. My own fault for not managing my time well. Tomorrow I’ll likely get up early to tackle it because realistically it needed to be completely done and handed over like last week 😗 whoops it’s okay

Hiya Nick, similarly to others I go for a walk in the morning and hit around 3-4k steps. Most days for work I’m sitting and so I try and go for little walks between meals and if it’s been a particularly sedentary day I’ll got for another walk in the evening 👍🏼 that way I manage to get some movement in and hit my step target

Agree with all the above! I’d place majority of carbs around the training window but ultimately there’s no issue having carbs in your final meal before bed. If you digest it well and wake up feeling good then you’re good to go. I remember you mentioning that you have a very physical job so this may suit you well if you find you have to be quite active

Hi guys back into normal routine today! Mosquito bites have absolutely blown up which is fab 🫶🏼 in for quads and glutes today. Annoyingly the gym wasn’t busy but two movements I usually do (leg press and smith squats) with specific machines I usually like to use were in use with a queue. I did ask to set in and was rejected. Sad times. So I had to make do with what I as available to me. Still a good quad and glute session. Back home to blast through work and catch up a bit

Hi guys! Happy Monday, final day in Milan + a lot of going back and forth + travelling back home. Caught up with clients, did a food shop dinner and now bed! I have some nasty mosquito bites that have gotten MASSIVE and so hopefully they don’t get any bigger tomorrow

I’m very much like Kerry! I used to go for the jazzy ones but now I’m fairly boring and always make sure I get salmon nigiri and then maybe branch out to something a bit different! Always with wasabi 💫

Hiya Pedro, how long were you dieting for and how long has it been since you ended it? It can take some time to feel more ‘normal’ post a longer diet phase where you might have pulled off a significant amount of body fat. I would suggest getting bloods done but if they look good this sounds strange.

Hi guys, up early for my flight to Milan. Today I have some check ins and usual responses to clients but I’ll be enjoying that a little further from home 💕

Hiya Paul. I just read your other post about consistently feeling tired recently. I couldn’t see any reference pictures to your back/legs but I’d suggest you start pushing up and adjusting food for growth. I can’t remember if you mentioned you were doing any cardio or anything but start tapering this down. I suggest you add 200-300kcals from carbs. Assess visuals, bodyweight and performance before increasing a little more after a couple weeks. This should also help greatly with the sensation of being very tired all the time.
