    I agree with the feedback above. Give it a go and see how you get on. Only thing what stands out to me is lower 2. I personally like to have a hamstring isolation exercise first to get joints ready before compounds, so potentially you could move seated leg curl before hack squat for lower 2. Let us know how you get on with this

    My last session of the week ticked off this morning and it was legs. 1 scoop of DNFM pre workout and the session was a banger. Not used to training that early or on a Saturday but had a really good session with my training partner. Check in pics sent over to Kuba this morning along with feedback for the week so I’ll wait to see what he says tomorrow

    Not too much to report today. Definitely ready for some rest over the weekend body is feeling pretty tired. Got 1 more session to go tomorrow and that’s legs. Hunger is still really high, but being patient and following the plan in place

    Have you ever used HGH before? If so have you ever experienced edema before? If estro is high is possible that you aromatise easily

    Headed over to ultraflex today to see coach Baxter. It was a really good and insightful, he has so much knowledge it was really eye opening. Kuba and Baxter have worked with me closely this off season with trying to get the best out of my performance. Today again highlighted that bodybuilding although an individual sport very much is a team effort to help bring out the best in you (me)

    I agree with the comments from the guys above. I’d explore trying to work on other factors like Peter mentioned before going down the route of using test (unless this is something you have done before). Tbjp Natural stack works, this would be a very good option

    Hi guys soooo midweek check in pictures along with weight sent over to Kuba this morning. The feedback and changes were back in minutes (like always)….I’m looking leaner and fuller again but now we need to see body weight trending up as I’m actually getting lighter post diet.

    So another bump up in food, the last increase was Sunday so a fast turnaround with increasing food. My hunger is high but this is where me being patient and not wanting to eat what’s not on plan is crucial for Kuba to see how my body is responding and so changes can be made accurately. I’m not sure what my calories are or how much food has gone up by but I’m following every last detail to nail this next push up.

    What do you do for your knee problems? 🙂

    Use a lighter weight especially on compound exercises and use more tempo and ensure range of movement is good. I always have at least one unilateral exercise in my workouts to ensure each side is focused on solely. Supplement wise I use tbjp join-in osteo pro and cure-coming daily which really do help. I do find knee sleeves when training help to keep my joints warm too

    November 14, 2023 at 8:31 pm in reply to: Hiring a coach for accountability but not contest prep

    what did your coach say when you asked him bud? Its this stuff you pay him for? You need to trust in him 100%

    This all to me makes sense to me tho

    I thought about what you said more, the fact that I asked whether if it’s good or not means I wasn’t trusting him completely yet. I am indeed following his diet and program but not 100% trust yet which I’ve realized as I reflected on it more. It’s my first time having a coach, I will work on trusting him 100%. Thanks for the feedback by the way.[/quote]I wouldn’t say you didn’t trust him completely but you wanted a second opinion. Your coach from what you wrote has made all the right changes and your adherence to following the plan will be key. I will add unless it’s something that really doesn’t sit right with you then from here you need to listen to Just your coach. Too many opinions can ruin the process as you then begin to second guess his plan and that can be a recipe for disaster

    Solid session today, I trained legs. Definitely felt tired going into the session after all the driving I’ve done the last two days… but it was a good one. Took it there with all my sets and walked away knowing I had a good one. Hunger is very high right now and weight is still trending down even after the food increases post mini cut. Midweek check in tomorrow so I’ll see what Kuba says feedback wise and let you guys know

    Your runway here for pushing up is very good. I agree with the team taper food up slowly, don’t rush it and you can potentially keep growing for a good period of time here. Great work

    Day 1 of increased food…. But no training today. I should have been training push today, but Kerry last minute before boarding her plane back from Romania asked if I could pick her up from the airport (quite a drive away) so instead of rushing a workout I’ve moved my 4 day training back by a day which works ok for me as I haven’t got my kids this weekend. I think it’s important to train and not feel rushed so making this change today seemed the most logical thing to do. Looking forward to getting after it tomorrow

    Hi guys, rest day for me. I was up early and on the motorway this morning driving just over 100miles each way to watch my client compete.

    Check in feedback from Kuba today, as expected a bump up in food. My condition has got tighter from the increased food as average weight reduced from the week before last so now we step it up with increased food from today,

    Kerry competed out in Romania today, so so proud of her she placed 5th in her bikini pro show out of 18 athletes. Her and Meg did a great job, so pleased with the result. If it wasn’t for a few things I had going on here I would have been out there with her.

    A day spent with my youngest daughter today, played some games at home and done some shopping too.

    ,check in pics sent over to Kuba for feedback tomorrow so looking forward to see what that will be tomorrow. Hunger is definitely up, which is a nice feeling compared to before my mini cut when I was sick off food lol I’d definitely take a good increase from tomorrow but I’ll wait to see what the feedback is and as always follow the plan

    Can you give an example of how you would get 300 grams of protein? Peter

    60g of protein over 5 meals

    Or 50g protein over 6 meals [/quote]

    Sir, I asked in terms of nutrition and grammage, but[/quote]
    Seems like you want a diet plan writing for you but it doesn’t work like that. We help to guide you so that you can make these decisions and form a plan. If unsure seek a coach. If you want to try, Input food into an app like my fitness pal and look at the totals until you get the required number. It’s a simple as that really
