    Hi guys! Training day for me, the usual morning routine, a walk, breakfast, checking and client work and then in for hams and glutes. Great session and feeling pretty good after treatment yesterday. Still some pulling in my groin and hip flexors but we’ll see how that gets on. Really good session! Headed over to my lovely grandmothers for a chat and a tea and then back home to wrap up with work for the day, my final meal and chill

    Hiya Tobi, it’s totally person dependant. A faster rate of gain in the first 1-2 weeks post show and then a steady increase from there. Very hard to give an exact weight as some people feel totally fine leaner and some need more body fat in before they’re able to restore good hormone function and recovery.

    Hi guys! Usual Tuesday for me, up for a walk, breakfast, check ins, and in the afternoon I FINALLY got treatment from my new chiro. All went well so hopefully I’ll feel better in the coming days after some adjustments.

    November 11, 2025 at 9:04 pm in reply to: THE GUARANTEE OF FBEOD?

    Hiya John yeah I’m talking about FBEOD! I used to train that way for years before adjusting my training further to my needs for wellness. I’m a huge fan of it and really enjoy training that way too. I do recommend it. It’s fun, hard and super rewarding. Ultimately, train in a way/split that you enjoy and can do for a long ass time I did fbeod for literally 6 years straight. I think there’s so much comparison and an uprise of the ‘natty or not’ stuff online that it really limits people’s belief in what they can archive. Try to tune out that noise and keep doing the do. You can get crazy gains

    Hi guys! Happy Monday! Up for a wet and windy walk, breakfast, check ins then in for quads and glutes. My hip/si/groin has not felt great recently. Particularly on rest days but today in training I had literally zero issues. Tomorrow I’ll be getting treatment with this new chiro FINALLY so we’ll see how it goes. Back home for client calls and training analysis, packed some orders for mad and ran to the postbox and now winding down for the day!

    Marc nailed it and I agree completely. I think some time away coupled with easing back in, you could even stretch it to a full week of easing back in so you get a good feel of where you’re at with joints and any niggles. I’d like to see you in a position where you’re raring to go rather than feeling like you’re not ready to go into the gym full force. 3 days off see how you feel, if you’re unsure about if you actually feel much better or not, go ahead and take 5 days off then ease back in to training. You should feel much fresher

    Happy Sunday! Chill day today and I needed it. Up for a walk, breakfast, a little work and then usual Sunday things like food shopping, laundry, cleaning tidying. Just had my final meal and ready for hopefully an early night

    I’m in agreement with the others above. I’d suggest seeking further help from a physio/osteo/chrio/doctor to get a proper assessment or diagnosis. I wouldn’t train unless you gain sensation back. Just out of interest, has it been totally numb since that initial session? Did it improve at all outside of training between sessions?

    Hi guys happy friday! Opted to rest today, up for a rainy walk, breakfast and then straight into work and check ins. I’d usually train but tomorrow I’ll be making my way to the tbjp gym and so want to get a session in there! There’s some kit i REALLY want to try. I also managed to book in today for a sports massage. Jesus Christ I left it too long. My calves and quads were just disgustingly tight. I feel much better after!

    Hiya Mark, some peoples RHR run a little high some run a little low, hard to say seeing as you’ve only taken note of it recently but you could be somewhere within that. I would cross reference this with other info like blood pressure readings.

    Hi guys back to usual routine today… sort of! Usually I don’t train on Thursday but after spending a lot of time sitting yesterday I really needed to move and opted to train. Up for a walk, breakfast, work and then in for hams glutes and delts. A little quads and adductors too. Great session but I am feeling particularly stiff and in need of treatment so bad. Back home to continue with check ins and work before winding down for the day.

    The guys above have covered this really well. In my opinion, as long as you bring an improved package to stage, you’re doing it right. Feel free to share any pictures with us and we’ll give opinions. If you’re in a good headspace, feel like you’ve made improvements, love to compete, continue gaining stage experience, your finances and relationships are in check I say go for it 👍🏼
