Hello Hello!
A lot less of a hectic weekend has been had!
Saturday was my final training session for the week – hams and glutes. Felt great. Left a little later than anticipated and by the time I got back home I realised how tired I was. Renewed the rest of clients sheets for the week ahead and chilled for the rest of the day. Had a lovely Thai dinner and watched ‘the boys’.
Today (Sunday) Was an early start to view a location to shoot at for a wedding later in the year. drove down and had a look. Beautiful venue so fingers crossed it’s sunny for their big day. Drove back and took the dog on a walk. He’s an old boy but can still help get the step count up! Just about to finish some super quick training analysis and then my final meal (pasta most likely) and chill x

Hiya Frankie
Thanks for clearly laying that out! What do you mean by optimise? Is there something you’re looking to specifically improve? Let us know

Hiya Tobi!
Having higher food focus at the back end of a diet or while your dieting is quite common! Clare and Peter mentioned some great info that will no doubt help!
Sometimes telling yourself that the palatable foods that you might crave in that moment will ALWAYS be available to you AFTER you are done dieting is enough to help you focus on the goal in hand rather than food! Also try not to go scrolling instagram or TikTok looking at yummy foods because it does make it a lot harder to stop thinking about! Interact with that kind of content less.

Friday is here!
Friday tends to be a fairly chill day for me as long as I’m not shooting or up to my neck with editing. Woke up, short walk and had breakfast. Light work before the gym and then headed off for my full leg session. I’ve been struggling with an iffy groin/adductor for a while now and this session is always the least enjoyable for it. I’m in a much better spot than I was a couple months ago. I’ve been making amendments as things have improved but it’s still one of my least favourite sessions to do as compounds just don’t feel that ‘great’ a lot of holding back and tip toeing around necessary discomfort. Annoying but temporary. Finished off the day writing out a plan for a new starter and training analysis.

Hiya I agree with everyone above! Just to note if you ask clients to track steps as well, make sure they’re turning off step trackers on their phone or taking off a watch/pedometer so their steps remain separate from cardio sessions.

Hello hello!
My usual rest day and chunky check in day with clients! Started the day as usual with a short walk, breakfast and then straight into check ins. Actually fell pretty behind with meals today as I totally lost track of time! Some fairly chill editing to wrap up the day and now on another short walk to catch up with steps. My daily goal is 8K. Then chill for the night as it’s my full leg day tomorrow 👍🏼Instagram - lulubellelifts

Hiya Jacob,
I agree with Peter! Testing things as you go will give you the data you need to make decisions on what to do closer to peak week 👍🏼

Hello hello!
Wednesday is a training day for me – Hams, Glutes and Delts! Woke up went for my usual short walk in the morning, breakfast/pre which on a training day is 250g Skyr, 25g Honey, 100g of mango (or whatever fruit I have frozen) 100g sourdough bread 20g of butter and one egg. Then did some light work tasks while that digested. Headed off to the gym a little later than anticipated but all good in the hood. My Wednesday hamstring glute session is currently structured like this.
– Rehab
– Lying Leg curl x3
– RDL x2
– Good Mornings X2
– Hip Thrust X2
– Abductions X2
– Kickbacks X2
– GHR X2
– Calves X3
– Shoulder Press (any machine available) X2
– Lateral Raises X3
– Rear Delts X3
– Abs (usually a hollow holds)
It’s a LONG session but has been working pretty fantastically for me. Recovery is great, appetite is great and for the most part my sessions suit the time I have available across the week. Popped over to my grandmas to say hello!
Post workout is 40g Performance protein – 50g Sweets
Meal 3 – 140g Jasmine rice (raw) 120g Chicken (cooked) 12ml Olive oil 120g Pineapple
Meal 4 – 140g Jasmine Rice (raw) 150g Beef Mince (raw) 10ml Olive oil
Usually I’ll round off the day with tea and a couple biscuits…. norrrrty me
Currently teetering around 62.5-63kg on stage I was 54kg (tiny) I would like to push back up to 65kg without turning into complete lard 😂 we shall see! I personally love offseason and I love food so it doesn’t feel like too much of a chore right now! Finishing some responses and training analysis for clients now and then chill for the night!

Hello hello!
No log from Sunday because it was a loooong old day! Spent Sunday off at the WNBF First timers event with my client. He absolutely smashed it placing 3rd in bodybuilding short and won the overall for men’s physique and a WNBF pro card. Absolutely over the moon for him! Well deserved! The show experienced some delays so it was a bit of a challenge and meant getting back home very late! Pretty much ate and fell asleep!
Today was my usual Monday (although I did have a little lie in!) Short walk before breakfast and then Off to train Quads and glutes. Solid session and no issues with Hack or Pendulum on my shins today so could load up a little more. After that I pretty much spent the rest of the day on my laptop responding to emails and clients. Very much ready for bed x

Hellooo!
Another day done today! I usually train earlier on a Saturday as the gym gets PACKED. Woke up, ate pre and went straight to the gym for hams, glutes and a touch of delts. It was already pretty busy when I got there. Got back and had a chill afternoon on the sofa. then got ready to go out for a surprise birthday party. Lots of fun food and music. Late night tonight and an early rise tomorrow!

Hiya Ben!
I’ve just had a look at the ingredient list on the actual bottle and none of the ingredients (to my knowledge) contain milk or dairy! There isn’t any allergens noted either so you should be all good!
Other great options are Dream Sleep, Magnesium or ZMA 👍🏼

Hello hello!
Today was a rest day for me. (Thursdays are usually rest days for me) Started the day off with a short walk and breakfast and then got stuck in to client check ins for the rest of the morning/early afternoon.
After that I took a break to go grocery shopping (wild I know) and came back to wrap up the day responding to enquiries and setting up calls. Finally ended the day batch cooking chicken. VERY fun ✌🏼Fairly standard! Looking forward to yet another leg session tomorrow 🫶🏼

Long day today!
Up for a short morning walk + breakfast and pre and then in for Hams Glutes and delts. Really good session! Managed to swing by and see my grandma before continuing the day with client work (coaching and a little editing) and then out again to the cinema! Back fairly late and spent the rest of the evening prepping chicken to marinate overnight and squeezing in my last meal before bed
