Hi guys happy Thursday! Still feeling a bit low energy but still getting all the things done. Up for a walk, check ins and breakfast then tackling bookkeeping for MAD. I am so behind every flippin year I find myself in this position and I never seem to learn. I need to hand it over by the start of September so in a bit of a time crunch trying to get this sorted alongside other info I need to collect. Popped over to see my lovely grandma. I didn’t get to see her last week as I was in Italy so spent some hours with her chatting, and enjoying each others company. Back home to wrap up the day, quick food shop for some missing bits and now finally bed.

Hiya Nathan, I agree with Andy. Cardio can get boring but it’s something that needs to be done so unfortunately if it’s purely to soothe boredom I wouldn’t change anything. However, I do find stair master pretty taxing too so making the adjustment to a bike, incline walk, or a crosstrainer/elliptical may do well for your legs

Hi guys happy Wednesday my period started this morning fab times which defo makes sense as to why I’ve been feeling bloated, low energy and just a bit ‘off’ up for my usual routine! Morning walk, breakfast and check ins before heading in for hams, glutes and delts. Great session. I feel like I’ve had a massive breakthrough with Bulgarians. For the longest time they’ve felt very awkward to do after my SI was well and truly fucked last year. But today everything clicked. I hope I can be as accurate as I was today every time. I’ve taken mental note, physical note and video so I don’t lose what ‘clicked’ back home to continue work. I’d usually see my grandma but seeing as I felt a bit run down I aim to see her tomorrow or Friday. Feeling very tired and ready for bed

Hiya Jack not necessarily in response about use of clen but are you just looking at bodyweight or are you assessing visuals too? 4kg up may not be that big of an issue if composition is still in a good place.

Hi guys happy Monday. Woke up with a bit of a scratchy throat but other than that I feel normal. Up and out for a walk, breakfast and a bit of work. Then in for quads and glutes. Usual bank holiday busyness in the gym. It was totally rammed. Session went well! Back home to chill and wrap up for the day. Throat feels a bit scratchy now and I do feel quite tired but i’m due on and likely a bit run down from travel

Hiya Luna, much like the others above have asked I’m interested in your response around how you feel you’re not recovering. What lifts have stalled? Maintaining something for three sessions isn’t that deep imo and could be the case for multiple reasons. (Rest time, movement order, how you’re approaching the session) How long have you been following this? I wouldn’t say it looks super demanding so let us know

Hi guys, chill Sunday today, up for a walk, breakfast, a bit of work and then a drive up to have lunch with some friends. Back home to chill, do some editing, pack an order and rest. I feel a bit run down after travelling so I’ll see how I feel waking up tomorrow

Hi guys back to normal today! Up and out for a short walk, breakfast, and gym! In for hams and glutes and the pump was amazing. A couple days off and some extra food has been magical. Bodyweight is only up by 400g so still in a good spot. As I’ll be going to Italy again in just over a week, I aim to keep food where it is before that trip and then after I come back I’ll be in a good spot to think about increasing again.

Hiya Miso, I think this is something that’s very hard to answer. Does it seem worth it to you? Do you enjoy the pursuit for more muscle? Do you enjoy training and transforming your physique? If you actually don’t (which is okay if not) then it’s clearly not something that seems worth it. You haven’t mentioned that you’ve ever worked with a coach. I suggest you seek out a coach who can guide you. This could be great help and make quite a difference for you and the progress you make. Lots of people are in your position who do find that it’s worth it and and enjoy living this lifestyle. Others don’t and choose to simply enjoy training and having a more relaxed outlook. It’s utterly and completely dependant on how you feel about it all. There is no right or wrong answer, just what suits you and makes you happy.

Hi guys, last day in Italy today! Explored Ostia Antiqua, really amazing to see some ruins and ancient history. Lots of walking, some final yums and now soon to be on our way back to the airport. It’s been a lovely trip but I’m so ready for a bit more routine and normality with food and digestion! Saying that, I’ll be back in Italy in just over a week 🫡

Hiya Angelo, all have a purpose depending on your needs. I’ve had all the above and find them helpful. I usually see my chiropractor every 6-8 weeks (more often when I have lingering issues) as for sports massage I try and get them every two weeks if I can. Some dry needling is sometimes done in these sessions

Hi guys, day three in Italy and It’s been lovely. FINALLY had a lie in, a walk this morning and breakfast and then a walk around the local town. Back to the hotel for check ins and then spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach with the girls. Then out for dinner and enjoyed a nice pizza
