Over 25+ of travel, 3 connecting flights and me and kerry have arrived in Alicante Spain ahead of us both competing at bigman weekend this Sunday. Lots of travel but no complaints as we both want to show up and bring our best to the stage this weekend to close of our competing seasons
Not holding much water at all from the travel so that’s a good thing and Patrick is happy and as always we take things day by day.
I trained chest and shoulders today, no reps to failure but getting the work done!
Haircut also done today after my gym session at titan fitness. Last meal going in and bed time for me
MY ATHLETE LOG – THURSDAY 27 NOVEMBER
Hi guys
Check in with Patrick this morning fasted. Plan remains the same as yesterday my first 3 meals of the day is protein, fats and veggies and then from meal 4,5,6 we will assess my look / water drop off and the carbs begin to come in.
Feeling good, I know and so does Patrick that once the water fully goes we which it will the carbs going in with help to bring and much dryer and tighter look ahead of competing Sunday.
Today I will train back at titan fitness, no sets to failure but to get the blood moving so to speak.
My first 3 meals today were (raw weight measures);
M1
300g egg whites
2 hole eggs
75g veggies
M2
250g chicken
75g veggies
10g olive oil
M3
250g lean beef
75g veggies
10g olive oil

Eating more depends on body composition, training performance, recovery, and goal timing
I completely agree with this. Being on Cycle doesn’t mean you need to force feed food

Hey Marc great showing!
Just curious with black friday sale as well I was gonna buy some tbjp supps!
For digestion enzymes what number meals do you take them with? I have 5 meals a day do you think its good to take one cap for meals 1,3,5 being meal 3 is my post workout meal?
Hi Nick
So in-sure is 1 cap per 50g of carbs. So it depends on your carb intake really as to how many caps you take. If digestion is generally good you can still split it over your higher carb meals like you have said here, but remember it’s 1 cap per 50g of carbs [/quote]
Hey Marc maybe I miss spoke I was wondering when you take your digestive enzymes like digest pharma pro not in sure! [/quote]
Hi Nick, that’s ok so I take it with my higher fat meals generally -
8 exercises isn’t necessarily too much. This also depends on how many sets per exercise you are doing and if you are training to absolute failure. Also see how growth / recovery is running this training volume and take things from there

5th place for me yesterday at the Japan pro show. Happy with the package I took the stage. First show with Patrick and we now move into our next show with me currently flying to Japan to Spain, ahead of big man weekend this Sunday! One more shot for this year to qualify for next years mr Olympia – all in!!

Hi guys
So here I am, hours away from stepping on stage at the Japan pro show. I am feeling very relaxed and happy with the physique I will be bringing to the stage today. A very nice balance between fullness and condition, I genuinely can’t wait to display what myself and Patrick have been working on the last few weeks. Very much tunnel vision and locked into visualisation and being on stage. Here we go!!!
You brought a great package and awesome to see you back up there again 💪🏽😎[/quote]
Thank you mate, really appreciate that comment -

Nah, digestion seems fine. And I’ve put everything in Cronometer and it says I am covering all bases.
I might try to switch up to rice and see if I notice a difference in digestion or bloating and decide from there mby.
Thx for all the answers 🙏
hi bud, if it’s rice you want to try and add in, I personally find jasmine rice sits really well for myself from a digestion standpoint when calories are increasing

Those carb sources are ok. I’m guessing you enjoy these carb sources and they digest well for you.
Remember to get your micronutrients in within your carb sources – veggies and fruit to ensure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals each day within your meal plan

How do you guys pin the lat? Do you hold your arm overhead? isnt the lat “flexed” by then?
Lat is a really good one IMO, if you have someone you can get to help you that would be a good shout or you could try like how Sara said
-
Volume would be based on your overall physique, what needs more priority (volume) and what does not. But your arms a small muscle group so you can spread this out over the course of your training week. If you can give some more info on your training split that would help

Hi guys
FaceTime call with Patrick this morning, speaking through the plan / posing and check in too. He is very happy with where I am currently and we are on track for where I need to be right now.
I’m feeling really confident as each day I am seeing the visual changes in a very good way.
Today was my last training session, 30mins biceps, triceps, core and some more posing.
Rest of the day will locked in my zone. I’ve been very quiet this prep, not intentionally but I’m very much staying in my own lane and visualising what needs to be done each day before I step on stage.
