    Check in feedback from Kuba today. Average bodyweight is up 1kg from last week, sitting at 122kg currently and the best I’ve looked at the weight body composition wise. Firing on all cylinders with training and food is really good. We want to push things along, so a slight increase with food on training day and rest day. What these calories are I don’t know as I simply follow the plan set out. Goal is to keep insulin sensitivity in good place over this push up and I’m confident this will happen as I’m so focused on nailing this as it’s my last push up before prep.

    Watched the Japan pro today, Theo 1st and Alfred 2nd in the open bodybuilding. Both good physiques and both athletes I have beat before so it’s certainly lit my fire some more.

    Been a mad weekend, youngster daughter wasn’t well so I had like 4 hours sleep if that. Now currently sat in a&e with my eldest daughter as she’s hurt her hand so had an X-ray and waiting on results. To say I’m tired is an understatement but family first and these things can’t be helped

    You’ve got some really good advice here what you can put into practice and make some great changes. For me when my carbs get high my intra workout is tbjp sustain and performance fuel and I also use pomegranate juice. If cost is an issue just use one of the tbjp intra carbs. I’d also suggest using tbjp in-sure to help with the higher carbs you are getting in. If budget allows also digest max as the pharmacy grade supp will help to breakdown carbs, protein and fats

    Really good leg session yesterday. Feeling like unlocking another level with my sessions now having a training partner, being able to push myself further with both weight and reps which is exactly what I needed.

    Rest day today, check in pics taken and form completed ready for feedback from Kuba tomorrow.

    Spoke with Kerry this morning as she’s out in Japan ahead of her show tomorrow. Wish I was there but few priorities here, but I’ll be watching that livestream tomorrow early morning on the uk.

    A day spent with my youngest daughter and my mum today 🙂

    Hey buddy! I’m not sure there’s anything you can do on this space of time to lower that testosterone! I’m not sure I would even want to, I would be looking at ways to increase my testosterone naturally before using TRT.

    I agree with this. But if you then decide not to go the natural way and go down the line or trt the gel or injection is the same thing, just you are taking it in a different form

    My last session of the week is going down shortly and its legs! Up for it and looking forward to getting after it.

    Spoke with Kuba this morning, a drop in weight of 0.8kg overnight so removing last meal from my plan and having an off plan meal and I’ll all for it because my hunger is high. With Kerry being away my steps have naturally been higher with doing bits around the house etc so we want to make sure the calories are going in as I am using more energy with day to day jobs

    I fully agree with what Adam says.

    To add I would try to organised with meal prep a few days in advance so that it’s one less thing you need to be doing when you get in from the gym (that’s if you prep your food in the evening).

    If dream sleep is out of your budget the magnesium supplement from tbjp would be an option for you. It doesn’t have as much ingredients but it’s a useful alternative

    Super busy day today with me getting back from holiday yesterday. Food shop, cooking, washing clothes, client work, haircut, and of course training. Solid pull workout today with Karlton. Despite my day being busy and steps racking up to 13k with no direct steps training today was really good. I posted up a reel on IG of some of my exercises today. Off to bed shortly, definitely need some sleep

    yes i would look to drop another 12-15lb and get pretty lean – then recheck the bloods

    I would then make sure to use TBJP INSURE when you start upping food

    I agree with Peters comment here. To add, alongside tbjp insure you can also use digest pharma pro which is a great digest enzyme that will help to breakdown carbs, protein and fats

    No training for me today, my usual rest day. Check in pics sent over to Kuba this morning. Not the best lighting as away on holiday, but still sent anyway. Some fullness has definitely come back and bodyweight has shifted upwards since last food increase. Travelling back today from Spain, so I’m going to re-take pics tomorrow morning along with weight as although I had my bodyweight scales, there’s no place like home for accuracy with the flooring.

    Early night definitely needed today ahead of being back to my daily routine at home.

    Kerry is out in Japan for her pro show this weekend. I think she’s looking insane, the changes her and Meg have made since working together are so so good. Looking forward to see her show day look this weekend, I have a very strong feeling she will improved from her last show a few weeks ago in Romania.

    Some client work and legs in the bag early morning today. Then been with my bro just chilled around by the pool and relaxing on our last full day here. A very short break away, but it’s all good and grateful to even have the few days away. Routine has remained the same, a few later nights compared to usual but good opportunity to catch up with my bro whilst out here.

    Could be just a bad shot, if it’s not inflamed should be all good bud. Just monitor it and be sure to rotate your injection sites too

    Im training for about 6 years, digestion is fine, appetite too, im progressing logbook really well but recovery sometimes i feel buttered

    Looking really good mate. Body composition still looks good and with your digestion and appetite being good you still have some room to progress. If you are feeling battered you can always taper your volume down in your session but still get after it with the sets you have or run a few de-volume sessions to get feeling a little fresher before resuming your normal plan

    Check in feedback from Kuba today pretty much confirmed what I am seeing. Getting leaner, weight has not really Increased but some fullness is coming. Body is very very responsive so it’s likely a food increase will come soon. But…. Today I flew out to Spain for few days to see my bro for his 40th bday so a short few days of time downtime then we will assess from there
