    Not much else to add here. Hilly covered things you can do very well.

    Hi guys! Happy Friday, legs ticked off today, no issues with my knees other than some clicking so just being cautious! Other than that solid session completed. Out tonight to watch some stand up comedy at the O2 ✨

    Hiya Joe, I’ve just checked Amazon myself and it looks like it’s one random seller selling 3 individual packs of CoR. The reviews aren’t great for the seller either so I’d suggest you get it from the legit website! Way more flavours, trustworthy shipping and handling too. You can also use any of the athlete discount codes for even more of a discount too 👀 (LULU10)

    alright thanks what flavour would yous recommend

    Totally depends on what you fancy! The chocolate flavours are great but I know people who prefer more vanilla/caramel flavours. The slightly fruity ones are pretty good too! All mix the exact same. You should be able to search for the travel sachets too so if you’re unsure on what flavour to commit to you can always try a few of the sachets before getting a bag 👍🏼 my recent flavours are triple chocolate, custard crème and cherry Bakewell

    Totally agree with the guys above. Also, turn the volume up on your headphones so you don’t hear any unwanted opinions 😉 The time you spend in the gym is to focus on yourself. When you’re doing a set or even in between sets be completely focused on YOU!

    Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. Another week of back to back training at the front end of the week. I feel pretty good regardless. In for hams, glutes and a little delts today. Accidental pb for b stance rdls as I picked up the wrong dumbbells. Whoops but a win all the same. Saw my lovely grandma and did some work. Steps hit and then a late shop at Sainsburys because for some reason, there’s NO sourdough on the shelves. Managed to secure that good good sourdough so breakfast will commence as usual tomorrow ✨

    Hiya Nate, the guys above are spot on. I think if you’re actively looking for something ‘cheap’ the service you may receive will reflect that. Also, ‘cheap’ is relative. I suggest you save up for a coach where pricing isn’t going to be your determining factor

    Totally agree with the guys above! I’d suggest seeing a physio to assess the area and have a hands on approach. It’s often very hard to articulate pain/niggles and have a proper diagnosis from a written description. Everyone’s pain tolerances are unique and so if you’re worried, see a physio to give a proper assessment.

    Hi guys, my training week started today! Quads and glutes and I’ve been extra careful with my knees. They feel totally fine just a little funny on the right. (Clicks and right) Spent some extra time doing some Spanish squats pre leg extension and main compounds. Other than that totally fine!

    Hiya Matěj, Alison gave some really helpful advice that you should consider. If you consistently feel pain just doing that movement even after warming up really well, I’d suggest seeing an osteo/chiro/physio and letting them have a look. From there they should let you know if there is any real issue and rehab work to assist. If you don’t consistently feel pain and this is a one off I wouldn’t worry. Out of interest, do you feel this when doing leg extension with both legs?

    Hi guys happy Monday. Resting today as I made a trip up to see my Chiro. It’s a bit of a drive but honestly absolutely worth it. A little work on my SI which was pretty tight again. Nowhere near previously but still pretty tight, Psoas, Glutes. Some parts of my back/neck were fairly tight. And then shocker. My knees are pretty much bulletproof… or so I thought. As I’ve been doing more steps, a tiny bit of cardio and posing my right knee has felt a bit iffy. Not pain but some discomfort and clicking which isn’t normal for me. I mentioned it briefly in our consultation and she did a little work on the left and right and then mentioned… yeah maddy that’s not good. Keep an eye on that 🤠. And so I’ll be keeping a careful eye, doing my Spanish squats and self-massaging if I can manage the cringe. After coming back pretty much got stuck into work, went on a long walk to hit my steps and now ready to chill for the evening. 👍🏼

    Hiya Luna, there’s no evidence that dictates that fasted cardio is more beneficial vs post-eating. A lot of the tie it’s down to personal preference. In regards to your position and what you mention your schedule allows for, I would absolutely suggest eating something pre-training especially if your performance is waning.

    The guys above have mentioned that ideally we’d suggest keeping cardio away from training which I agree with, however, if your schedule doesn’t allow for it then you’ll have to continue as you are. What is your nutrition pre, during and post-training?

    Hi guys happy Sunday. Spent most of the day with family enjoying the sunshine. A little bit of work this morning but also some digestion issues out of no where so hopefully tomorrow is a little better

    Hiya Kaua, in that case an elbow sleeve or knee sleeve may be suitable for you. After you are adequately warmed up does this discomfort subside? If so for now you can likely just spend a little more time warming up those areas before top sets.
