Hello, giving some perspective as I train the very early morning myself, starting my training around 5am. I have balanced meals the day before and since I’m in a surplus rn I have a fairly amount of carbs at dinner which comes about 1hr pre bed. I wake up and hydrate (1l at least) with a double espresso and preworkout supplements. About 10′ before starting I consume 10gr EAA (prefer it in tablets instead of powder as additives such as sucralose do not sit well) and start sipping my intra workout (45-50gr hbcd + 1gr salt) aiming for a 1/2 of it before main compound of the day finishing it off about 3/4 of the session. Immediately post wo is 2nd dose of EAA (10gr) and about 30′ later is my post wo meal (C200g P50g F15gr) from sources I digest well (in my case eggs white, rice, EV oil). For context, I’m c. 200lbs, 6ft2
This all sounds fine and you have been given some great advice from the team to help you with training in the morning which I do agree with also

Pull session, stairmaster and abs for my gym session today. Got an early session ticked off because it worked better for my routine today. Client check ins and posing client feedback today pretty much made up my day. Appetite does feel higher, which is a change from the last few days where appetite hasn’t felt too high.

I agree with all the comments above. The approach i would go with initially is what Clare has said as a start point

Action paid day today… two in person posing clients, client check ins/ new starter, sports massage, haircut, steps and my own check in. Although it was a rest day it was a busy one, but very productive so I’m happy about that.

What were your calories before you started your cut. Have you made any adjustments to your daily steps (assuming you track them) and are you doing cardio?

Early solo leg session this morning as it worked best for my day today. Decent leg session, not my usual gym for legs on a Tuesday but the work got done. Client check ins, new starter plan and online posing session this morning into early afternoon. Heading now to see a physio out of town and that’s my day pretty much wrapped up.

Agree with what Jordan says. I personally have a nose mask for my cpap machine which is prefect for me as I’m a nose breather. There is of course the full face mask, so choose one that will best help you breathe so it keep it on at night

Kicked off my training week with my usual push training session today. Solo session today, as Karlton was on a rest day after yesterday’s bodybuilding show. Decent session today, not where I usually train for this session so I switched up a few exercises but the same set up with exercises just on different kit.
Session today was;
Cuffed single arm cable y raise
Cybex eagle chest press
Neural grip cable flat chest press
Cable flyes
Seated dips
Single arm d handle biceps curl
Across body triceps extension -
With it the answer being no, I agree with Meg here! Allow yourself to come up a bit so you can feel good and fresh, then you can plan to pull in again when you feel mentally in a better place
Exactly this!

Day out watching my training partner compete today at the fit x show. He took the win in class 2 bodybuilding and also the men’s overall title. Very happy for Karlton, 2 years away from the stage and returned with an improved physique. Incredible prep managed by Kuba from start to finish. A great day out !

When you first put GH in did you notice the same level of water retention you are seeing now? Was there a change in your bodyweight when it first went in?
When you say high carb days here and there, how often are these and do you notice any additional water retention the day after?
Did you get any bloodwork done prior to starting your cycle 3 weeks ago?
-
Rest day for me. Been a day mainly spent setting up new clients and with client check ins and getting my diary up today with in person posing / online posing sessions. Check in sent over to Kuba this morning, business as usual for the coming week. Both agree my legs have come up in size, but as ever the quest for more continues!

MemberApril 26, 2024 at 8:24 pm in reply to: Holiday training and approach to training post holidayGoing away I’d make sure you listen to your body and biofeedback. If you feel good crack on with your usual sessions, with adjusting exercises with what kit you have available. If time is limited two sessions could be 1 upper and 1 lower or a 3 day training split, push, pull, legs.
When you return take the days needed to get your body adjusted to the timezone. Then from there ease yourself back in to training with maybe de-volume sessions until you feel fresh again. But if you feel good then go with your usual sessions.
The main thing here is listen to your body and go with what feels right for you at the time

Last session of the week today and it was another really good leg session. No Karlton today as he’s competing this weekend so no more training, so another of my good mates jumped in training with me today. All work solid sets and walking away from the session having given 100%. Rest up over the weekend ready to go again next week.
