Try some breath work, meditation or reading a book pre bed to try and relax your mind. Also light blue light exposure from your phone or tv with some blue light blocking glasses

Show day! Feeling very good today. Today is everything, my chance to qualify for years mr Olympia competition and believe you me no stone has been left unturned. Tighter, dryer than my last show and fullness is there. I will give my absolute all to make today a reality and win my very first pro show! #the ability to progress at all costs

[Marc]

Wish you the Best for Offenbach man!

Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your message

1 day out from my Germany! Multiple check ins with Kuba today and the look keeps on getting better. I’m very excited for tomorrow. I know I said it last week. But tomorrow will truly be the very best of me stepping on stage. The excitement is real

[Marc]

Hi guys

So in person check in fasted with Kuba this morning. We are literally staying like 5 mins away from each other so it’s perfect as he can see me in person instead of pics.

Very very happy with this look today. Pulled in tighter for this show and it shows big time. Very excited to see this look land on stage in a few days time.

Last training session completed today also, upper session holding back a few reps in reverse.

Athlete meeting this evening ahead of competing on Sunday! Not long now 🙂

I agree with both Clare and Kerry. Keeping cortisol (stress) down is key to progress whatever phase you are in so it’s a staple supplement personally for myself.

It’s within the products which Clare has mentioned above

Today has been a rest day for me. Check in sent over to Kuba as usual and constant communication throughout the day. We are bringing and tighter package for this show and size will not be comprised.

8k steps in total today which has been easy breaking steps up throughout the day.

Me being me lol I found a local barbershop as I I needed my weekly fix of getting a fresh trim lol.

2 more meals to go for the day, been a chilled day which has been nice

Fully agree with the team here on their reply above. I know supps are expensive but quality supps from tbjp will make a huge huge difference for your health

[Marc]

Hi Piotr I completely agree with Meg. Certainly increase your salt intake especially if you sweat a lot and you need to make sure you are replenishing the sodium that is being lost. Taurine (powder form) is also a good supplement to help with cramps but first of all bump your pink Himalayan salt up and spread evenly across your day.

Yes I would reduce training volume down, so example if you had 3 sets on chest press reduce it down to two. This shouldn’t be done until the the later stages and deeper into prep. Intensity should remain

[Marc]

First workout went down in Germany today. I had a really good pull workout, the gym had mainly gym80 and hammer strength kit so definitely a good selection of kit. Even had a few exercises with kerry today which we haven’t done for a very long time as she has some upper pull exercises tagged onto her lower session which was nice.

Coming in tighter for this Germany show the changes are happening so I’m fully focused on this

Hi guys, travel day today from Italy to Germany. No training today so plan with food is mainly protein and fats. Will check in with Kuba once I land in Germany later this afternoon as the flight is only over an hour. I know what the judges want in Germany to get that win so the changes gave been made

What are the changes that’ve been made? I was watching Fouad’s podcast and his feedback was that you had more than enough muscle, you just didn’t display it with your posing. Would you agree?

Hi mate

I’ve not seen the podcast to be fair. There are things to work on from what the head judge has said along with what myself and my coach Kuba has spoken about. Posing doesn’t come easy especially with the severe osteoarthritis I have in my shoulder so I do my best with what I can

I would deffo message Haider directly he might know. Or what I would I do is head over to a gym like binous where you will likely find competitive bodybuilders and have a chat to see where they get their posing trunks ordered from

[Marc]

The team have nailed it here. Fats serves a purpose but also take into account fats from omegas as this takes total fat amounts higher too
