Hi guys happy Wednesday! Up for a walk as usual then another day of laptop work, check ins and client work (for fade) visited my lovely grandma who absolutely loved a helping of oat so creamy! Back home after to continue work for the day, short walk in the evening and a bit of PlayStation. Doing a much better job of winding down the day compared to majority of June/july

Make the cream of rice so it’s SUPER thick like genuinely a paste. Only add a little water to do this but make sure the water you use it super hot and freshly boiled! I make my CoR like this every single time. If you make the CoR too thin and then add the whey it’ll defo be a thinner consistency overall. Although, I’ve only ever eaten Tbjp CoR and because it’s genuinely such a fine power it’s mixes really well so that could defo be the difference in ease of making it this way!

Hi guys happy Tuesday, in for quads and glutes today and had a great session. Had to swap out squat press as a few people were setting in with each other (3) and so getting my shit done was going to take far too long vs swapping to another leg press. A happy accident as it felt fantastic. Back home after to continue with work and then headed over to my partners family to help me put on my replacement wing mirror after it so fantastically got smashed off a week ago. Very much ready for bed now

Just chiming in with what I use! So I’ve consistently been using a serving of pumpage and then a serving of Dial in. I do rotate between having PrePare Pro and this. Sometimes If I’m training late just pumpage! Let us know how you get on 👍🏼

Hi guys happy Sunday! Very much felt like a Monday! Up for a walk, breakfast, work and then in for hams and glutes in the afternoon. Really good session! I’ve shifted over to the 3D smith/Freedom rack for RDLs as I’m so over waiting for the belt squat to be free as it’s become a very popular piece recently and no one uses the freedom rack… no brainer really! I’ve spend a few weeks muddling around finding the best setup and then trying to consistently achieve doing the movement well. Today I’ve cracked it and actually moving a little more load with fantastic sensation from start to end. I’ll have fun progressing this! Rest of the session was great too. Back home to pack a few orders to ship off tomorrow morning. Play a little Ghost of Tsushima tonight

Hi guys happy Saturday. Had a bit of a lie in today and it was well needed. Rest day today for me and so usual morning and then in for check ins and a bit of client work before spending the afternoon with family and finally got to watch The Odyssey. Fantastic.

Hi guys! Happy Friday! Up for my usual routine: work and then in for legs. Great session, a few rep PBs but ultimately happy to have everything feeling great across the board. Back home to continue work for the day, then off to pick up my partner from the airport. Rest day tomorrow and hopefully a lie in!

I have never tried this diet but for the most part, I encourage you to be cautious and skeptical about diets that eliminate groups of foods. Like Clare and Allison mentioned, sticking to eating majority whole foods, having diversity in protein sources, carbs, fats, fruit, veg, fibre Will put you in a position where you can enjoy a large variety of foods and support general health. Why are you interested in this specific ‘diet’?

Hi guys, productive rest day today and for the first time in a long time I actually feel like I’m on top of my workload. It’s a nice feeling. Got a lot of editing done. After a very busy June/start of July I was doing my best to wade through a LARGE chunk of editing but am in a much better spot with it now. Steps hit, meals consumed and hopefully a good night sleep too

Hiya Joan,

Massive well done on your first show. You’re in a fantastic spot to move into a nice long period of growth. I’m assuming you are self coached as I’d usually suggest you speak with your coach and make sure you totally understand what to do next. I agree that as of now, focus on bringing food up, and expenditure down gradually based apon your needs (recovery, sleep, bodyweight, visuals, habits) Eventually being in a small surplus would be a fantastic spot to be in so you can be in a build for a long time. How are you getting on with this?

As for your split, both of these options could work, I’d suggest;

Lower, upper, rest, lower, rest, upper.

The split isn’t actually THAT important, it’s more a case of trialling it out, seeing that it suits your schedule, you recover well and make progress over time. And so I’d suggest you trial things out, see how you get on and then assess after a period of time.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask us 👍🏼

I guys, very late night for me. Today was a great start to the week! Usual morning routine, in for quads and glutes and powered through un interrupted. LOVELY! It makes a world of a difference being able to stay in the session. Back home after to continue with work and wrapping up the day as we speak

I agree with a lot of what’s been said above. 2 rotations works really well for most, let us know what your leg training looks like and what your goals/needs are. We could help suggest if there’s a need for any adjustments as Michaela mentioned (order, rep range, execution)
