    Hiya Stefan, I’m interested to see your response to the above. For the most part, there’s nothing wrong with having 250g protein from direct sources if digestion, performance and recovery are in a good place.

    Hello hello guys happy Friday! I was so looking forward to training today with a client and going over some posing, however I’ve had to reschedule as I’m still a bit sick, much better than a couple days ago but still playing it patient before I train and pose! Tomorrow I should be okay to test the waters. I’d have felt awful if I made my client ill and so we’ve rescheduled. Another day focused around rest, work and now finally chilling! Today was the usual day I’d film check ins and recap for my monthly YouTube video and so I stuck to it! Bodyweight is unfortunately a little down after not much training and sickness. With that measurements are slightly down but visuals are okay. Defo in a position to keep growing and very eager to get back in the gym!

    Hi guys, feeling a bit better but unfortunately in no position to train just yet. Food has been MUCH better and have been able to digest and not feel like shit all day! Win win. Hoping that tomorrow I feel even better

    Hi guys happy Tuesday, unfortunately; thanks to my fantastic luck, I woke up feeling a bit under the weather and as the day progressed I started to feel more and more ill. It’s more just a common cold but I do feel shit for it. I spent the day doing work, celebrating my sisters birthday and spending time with family. Finally in bed hoping I feel better tomorrow

    Hi guys happy Monday! Up for a walk before the rain! Breakfast, check ins and work then in for a full leg session. Easing back in after a week off and my SI being frankly shit. I actually woke up today not feeling as rubbish compared to the previous few days so legs was pretty good. One of the lovely members in kings has nicked just ONE of my knee sleeves xoxox sad times but ticked off the session sleeveless. Nothing amazing and no PBs but a solid session getting back into the groove. Bodyweight is down a touch so we’ll see where it sits after a week of normality

    Hi guys happy Sunday! Woke up out for a walk breakfast and work. I decided against training today as I actually got back very late yesterday and my hips/back were NOT in a good place to train and so today I got the bulk of the chores I had planned to do yesterday done alongside some stretches/rehab. tomorrow I actually will go in and train. I know movement actually greatly helps me with my SI and after a day of a bit more chill, hydration and normal food I’ll be in a good position to train. Bodyweight after this trip is the exact same but overall down a touch as it started trending down just before I left. We’ll see what the next couple weeks hold.

    Just to add, if you’re unsure, share a link of your training where we can provide training analysis for you.

    Hiya Dominik imo this is overthinking. If you focus on getting as low as possible with as much knee flexion that your biomechanics allow for consistently without pain, you’ll absolutely be doing enough.

    Hi guys! Travelling back home today, lots of walking, catching trains and a very heavy backpack. Defo not training today when I get back home. I’ll be doing my Saturday check ins, food shop and very boring but necessary housey chores like laundry and washing. A few days away from training has been nice but I’m very eager to get back to training! My SI/lower back hasn’t been the best over the past couple days but I’m fairly sure my cycle has a part to play in that.

    Hi guys! I’ve had my geography wrong! Took the train from Antwerp (I’ve been in Antwerp not Brussels woops) and now in Ghent. I’ll be back home tomorrow and resuming routine! I did intend to train but after a LOT of walking, very heavy cycle and busy days, I’ve opted to rest. I’ll start my training week on Sunday and ease in.

    Hi guys, technically it’s Friday but for me still Thursday as I have yet to go to bed. Very busy day! Just caught up with client check ins WAY later than planned. Ready for bed

    Hiya Warren, I have 10g of butter every single day in the morning on my toast. If you have a varied diet with healthy fat sources (I also supplement with Omega pharma pro) totally fine! When push comes to shove in a diet phase things like that may have to go but imo not a terrible choice within moderation 👍🏼

    Hiya Dylan, there’s no hard rule on this but I do often suggest a drop in carbs on a rest day. I continue this trend in any phase.
