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

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 -

Best of luck, you’ll smash it!

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.

As a matter of urgency before it gets any worse than what you have said, 100% go and get it checked by a physio and potentially get some scans done. Don’t try to push through and work around it

Back to my usual high day food for today. Yesterday’s food gave me some extra fullness, but the key is getting the right balance between condition and fullness and we are well on track for that. Slight pull back in sodium also today, 9g pink salt instead of 12g, /so 1.5g pink salt over my 6 meals of the day.
Heading to the gym now to train shoulders, pose and then sports massage. Feeling really good!
-
It’s beneficial to work your biceps in both the short and lengthened positions, this way you cover both areas so it would be something I would definitely include where it’s best for your training programme / volume
-
If this is your preferred training style I’d try to just block out the noise from the members and do what’s needed for you. The problem these days people are more concerned with what others are doing instead of what they are. Keep doing the do and get after it mate, don’t let them put you off or changed how you train!

Morning guys
Phone call with Patrick today upon wake after sending him fasted check in pics, which it has been like this since leading into this show.
He’s very happy with my condition and although we have not increased food from my previous high day food I have regained some fullness and condition has held so he’s really happy. Today we push on with slightly higher carbs as there is room to fill out but we won’t push food hard as it’s not needed with me but we will continue to monitor daily and multiple times throughout the day how my body changes.
I will train back today – again my session will be wrapped up within 30-45 mins

Awesome marc💪🏻 I see the diet and food options have changed some!
Just curious why some of the foods might have changed like having chicken instead of beef and having eggs/ oats instead of COR and whey? [/quote]
Eggs instead of whey as it’s a whole food
