Also I saw you said you are still in prep! Just curious when you switched over to Patrick did he up your food or change cardio amount? If yes by how on each?

Plus are you still around the same weight or how much are you up from stage weight?

He changed my food from where it was as I was previously reverse dieting out of show. I can’t tell you what the calories are as I don’t have access to that anymore as I am not working with Kuba

Cardio 10mins post workout
Steps 45 mins walk each day (except for quad training day) and rest day 30mins walk in the evening.

With Kuba I was doing 12k steps daily

Bodyweight show day Germany was 112kg. I’m holding around 113-113.8kg

Hey Marc just wanted to see how things are going with Patrick? Anything in the diet or training change yet?

I know he said he was still learning your body!

Hi Nick

Things are going well thank you. Nothing has changed with diet and training. However, this week I am eating my high day food each week as Patrick wants me physique to fill out after me getting over my illness when I didn’t train for around 10 days before I had joined him

[Marc]

For liss cardio I would aim for around 130bpm , the leaner you get you’ll see cv fitness increase so will have to take the level up to hit the required heart rate

I fully agree with this comment

[Marc]

Hi all

Busy and long day of travelling today. Headed out to Las Vegas today, travelled with Haider, Cal and Rhys which was really good, ahead of watching Haider compete in a few days and then Kerry compete next weekend at the Olympia

Food today was a high day and 2 additional meals added in to accommodate for the travel. My steps today have really racked up, over 20k. Key will be to get fresh and adjust to the timezone over the

Abductor x2
Seated calf raise x2

Super busy day also client work, haircut, and packing as I am heading to Las Vegas tomorrow ahead of supporting kerry at her first Olympia

Ok definitely something to monitor. It sounds like you are best to look into ways to try to offset this then if it’s happened twice. Try to be well hydrated before you inject to see if this helps to reduce flushing, making sure you are injecting slowly, maybe even lower dose and work back up to see if you notice a difference.

But I think the main thing here is like what hilly said it is a potential side effect cause by vasodilation where your blood vessels widen that then increases blood flow and this is why you are getting this side effect

[Marc]

Not something I can say personally. Have you had this happen before or was this your first time using it?

Chest and shoulder session for me today. It’s been 1 week since my shoulder treatment so easing myself back in as the first two weeks I need to be patient and let the healing do its thing. I’ll drop the YouTube in the next day or two of what I actually had done.

My session today was;

Pec deck x2
Low incline smith chest press x2
Flat chest press machine x2
Cable flys x2
Lying cuff lat raise x2

can you try to upload your pics again please bud, i cant see anything

[Marc]

Also sorry for asking so many questions! You are just my favorite bodybuilder and your look is so good!💪🏻 so its exciting to see you now working with Patrick!

But last question is do you take any digestive enzymes with any meals if so which meals do you like to take them with?

thank you mate. yes i take in-sure with my higher carb meals and digest max with my higher fat meals

[Marc]

Also do you always train after the same amount of meals? If you train after 2 meals do you move the COR meal to meal 2 or do you always keep the 6 meals in that order written?

yes i train after the 3 meals, so there is no moving meals around i am sticking to my routine here

[Marc]

monday chest and delts, tuesday quads, wednesday rest, thursday back and biceps, friday shoulders, chest, triceps, saturday hamstrings and glutes. high day food and low day foods are changing at the moment as he is learning more about my body and based on what i need when i check in

[Marc]

Just curious whats your training spilt?

Also are the high days for all training days and the low days are for rest days?

[Marc]

rest day for me today. that means two lots of walks a 45 minute walk and also 30 minutes in the evening. today was all about quality time with my daughter i took her to the national space centre and she loved it as shes been recently learning about space at school. low food day also as it was a rest day for me, another day ticked off

[Marc]

Hi mate so this would also be based on your needs. If triceps is a weaker muscle group for you then you might add more volume for triceps (sets / reps) across your training week.
