Hi bud I agree with Kuba and Nathan, the increase will bring about some very good changes. Although pushing gh up, be patient with adding food only when it’s truly needed to help keep digestion in a good spot and so you actually grow lean muscle tissue and maximise your 20-24 weeks push up

Morning all

Less than 2 weeks out from my first show this season. Phone call with Patrick today after sending over my fasted check in pics, and he is very happy and we are well on track for where we need to be.

Lower kcals food today as normal and a rest day and 2 x 30 mins walks today also. Feeling good, focused and excited for the season to unfold. For now as always it’s about ticking those daily boxes to bring me in at a level i am yet to display in the pro league at this bodyweight.

1 more day until kerry is back home also, really looking forward to seeing her!!

[Marc]

How you are doing this currently is absolutely fine. Like hilly said look out for any trends / signs and if you need to make adjustments based of readings then definitely do so

[Marc]

Very good upper 3 – push focused training session today. Training is flying at the moment, it’s that saying what built the muscle keeps the muscle and overall although I’ve had more lower kcals days the last few weeks I’m not looking stringy and like what Patrick said in my check in pics and post workout posing video i am holding really good muscularity and getting better each day / week.

Recorded today’s session for YouTube so that will be out in the next week, so keep an eye out for that.

Chilled rest of my afternoon today and I will catch up with kerry later on FaceTime call 🙂

If you love this current Upper/Lower split you’re on and still making good progress, then I wouldn’t change anything. You can still have a ‘re-set’ with your loading and check your execution, and build back up again with your current set up.

This would be my take also here.

Sometimes we get caught up thinking we need a change but when things are going so well, is it truly needed? I would personally stick to this as it’s working for you

Hi all

Upper session for me today and it was a good one. Stepping into the gym and making sure I’m finding it and giving absolutely everything to each session.

Full session today was;

Chest supported t-bar row x2
Lat pulldown x2
Rear delt seated row x2
Chest fly x2
Triceps d handle pushdown x3
Single arm cable bicep curl x3
Abductor x3

Posing rounds and 6mins stairnaster to finish off.

Back home and tuned in to the Miami pro show to watch kerry compete today!!

[Marc]

I would use this fasted and 500 dose to start with would be a good first set point

[Marc]

Today is a rest day for me. I checked in with Patrick this morning he is really happy with muscularity and condition for a fasted look so as usual today is a lower kcal day. Sports massage this morning followed by posing. I few bits to get admin wise, client work, before my second 30mins walk later on today

[Marc]

I have the perfect exercise selection, execution, tempo, rep range and weight management, frequency, and even outside therapy (isometrics, creams) for pain reduction, its both knees as the originally uninjured knee got hurt because it had to take a larger part of the weight than the injured one, I would genuinely not be seeking for this solution if there was anything else I think I could do

Have you got to see an expert about the root cause and get a diagnosis / plan of action of how to address this?

[Marc]

Really good evening yesterday with Kevin Levrone sat down with him after his store visit talking all things bodybuilding and getting some words of advice too which was golden!

In for legs today and back in with lower kcals after a mix of both higher and lower kcals yesterday.

Today’s leg session that I will be doing is;

Lying leg curl x3
Leg ext x2
Hip leg press x2
Abductor x3
Toe press x3

[Marc]

Patrick was really happy with my level of condition this morning. Although this is flat for me there’s still a nice level of muscularity with bodyweight between 119.4-120kg in general day to day which is crazy me being this close to stage condition having starting prep at 128.1kg.

Today food set up is meals 1-3 higher kcals pre training and lower kcals meals 4-6 post training.

Training session today will be upper 1, so back, rear delts and biceps focused. Looking forward to hitting my session in a few hours time.

Kevin Levrone is over at a local supplements store in Leicester today, so I might pass by later on today depending how my day goes!

[Marc]

I’ve have the white chocolate coconut flavour before and I didn’t think the taste was as good as other flavours that I like; custard cream, triple chocolate, maple syrup, salted caramel.

I think it’s a taste buds thing, I’d go for a different flavour and I’m sure you will get on well! Might also be worth trying the new oats so creamy!!

[Marc]

How do you feel with the current gap between cardio and training. That in my opinion is enough time from what you have said here, if it’s working for your routine, well hydrated pre training and pre training food digests well then I think this will work just fine

[Marc]

Hi all

Rest day for me today, so that means usual set up 2 x 30mins walk on my walking pad, posing rounds, sports massage and client work. Feeling good generally, tunnel vision on what I am working towards.

I’ve also dropped a new YouTube yesterday where I speak about prep, plans for this year and more.
