Totally fine to take it post workout. I take magnesium in the morning and then in unwind post training and in dream sleep 30 mins before bed 👍🏼

Hi guys! Happy saturday. Today has been nice and chill. Up for a walk, breakfast, a tiiiiiiny bit of work followed by playing on my switch before heading in for my final session of the week. It was so busy with 4 people using some machines… crazy and so movement order changed a little along with my usual Belt squat RDL. Had to swap these out as unfortunately, another group were waiting for it to be available… i’m not waiting THAT long and so opted for another hinge variation using a tbar row machine. Sounds crazy I know but it’s nearly always available and actually worked alright. Post workout and then popped into town to get some bits for fathers day tomorrow and then caught up with lots of chores around the house. Have the FATTEST pile of laundry to go and fold now xoxox

Hiya Kbb, I’ve tried viewing the image on my PC and via the app, and it’s not loading through. Try re-uploading or try to describe where the setting is so we can help. I know there are a few adjustments you can make but I don’t think a change in resistance profile is something you can do with this one.

Hi guys happy Friday! Up as usual for a walk and breakfast and work. Then in for Legs again! Really happy with today’s session. It was fairly busy when I got to the gym but I managed to get everything done regardless! Up on pendulum, maintained leg ext, up on split squats. Really happy. Weight is continuing to come down without any further changes. Happy days. I have a few more kilos to lose before we get back to growing!

Hiya Nicolas, i’m not sure what you’re referencing when you mention ‘waxy’. What are you eating before this session? Do you have anything (an intra) during your session?

Hiya Tobias. It can be frustrating for sure if you have every intention of training and a genuine reason stops you. If you’re usually really consistent, you can find peace in the fact that it’s a one off. Don’t make it twice the pain by allowing frustration and anxiety to build. You sound very passionate and so I’m sure you’ll be right back in the gym and this will be in the past soon enough. If it becomes a pattern that you’re noticing this session never gets done, as Pheobe mentioned assess your week and plan things out ahead of time.

Hi guys! I missed doing my log yesterday as I got caught up with ‘life’ yesterday was a training day, work in the morning then hams and glutes. Popped over to see my grandma and unfortunately she wasn’t in the best of spirits. Spent as much time with her as I could and gave her my full attention. Back home to finish work, steps, final meal and then finally bed. I ended up sleeping a lot later than usual as my day was pushed back a little. Today has been a rest day! Caught up with check ins, new starter set ups and a large chunk of editing and calls. Got steps done before the end of the day caught up with me and just finished my final meal. I’m so ready for bed

Hiya Kbb, if it’s the hack squat I’m thinking of I’m fairly sure the pegs are just to allow for more load. As for an angled smith machine. I feel it’s down to preference. I would opt to press so the angle tracks back rather than in front of me. Some may prefer to press slightly away from them. I feel the most important thing would be making sure the touch point to your chest is right for you rather than too far down your chest or near your neck.

Hi guys full on day today! Up for a walk, breakfast and then straight into check ins and training analysis. I broke up the day with training. Quads and glutes today. I haven’t done this session for a little bit. It went really well! Up on leg press which surprised me. Maintained on smith squats and all other movements maintained or gained a rep. Back home to continue on with work, steps and dinner.
I know I’m super behind but started watching the walking dead and it’s so fucking stressful.

You can’t manage what you don’t measure.

As Michaela mentioned, if your goal is just lifestyle fitness and health to a degree you can make progress. If you’re looking to stand on stage and make some pretty extreme changes then I agree with everyone above. It’s not the most helpful way to go about dieting in my opinion.

I can see that your taken on the advice and are looking to track your intake and follow macros. If you have any other questions feel free to ask

Hi guys. Super tired so quick update of today. Up early for breakfast then headed over to the shoot up in Ashby de la Zouch. A long day shooting in clinic, wrapped and then faced the traffic back towards the south. Got back, dropped off kit, drove back home, final meal done and I’m so ready to sleep. I slept pretty bad last night as the hotel was rather loud. Can’t wait to pass out ✌🏼

Hi guys happy Sunday. A rest day for me and I’ve had a really annoying headache/migraine all day. Likely just more tired than I realised. Up for a walk and then some client work before having a chill afternoon. Had to drive up to a job this evening for tomorrow. Around 3 hours. We’ll be up fairly early to shoot and hopefully wrap early to make the journey back! Tomorrow will be a rest day as we’ll be shooting and driving for a large part of the day 👍🏼

I’ve read Allison’s responses on this and the other topic and she’s bang on. I also agree with Kuba. You’re in a good spot. Keep pushing, keep progressing and focusing on performance and recovery. Don’t get super caught up in only looking at your visuals.

Hi guys happy Saturday. Up and out for a walk and then breakfast. In for hams and glutes today and I’m feeling a biiiiit sore after yesterday’s session. As the day has progressed doms has definitely set in. Likely went a little too hard after 5 days off but it’s not the end of the world. In a week I’ll be right back into routine.
