Morning all

Mini check in with pics / daily tracker info sent over to Kuba this morning.

0.5kg down in bodyweight after yesterdays higher food day and rest from training. Bodyweight is 0.7kg down from my lowest bodyweight and this after 3 days of higher food so far. Visually some extra fullness is back and condition in a good spot. Physically still feeling tired so another day rest no training and 7k steps. Today Also is higher food than yesterday.

My latest YouTube video will drop later on today, so keep your eyes peeled for that… it’s a good one!!

Hi guys

A rest day has been ordered for me today from Kuba. My body is still feeling fatigued, I think last weeks sessions with were progressed caught up with me later in the week alongside not having my usual de-load after 6 weeks due to me feeling good.

Higher food day today, but slightly lower than yesterday. Again I’ve not asked what my calories are just prefer to follow the plan set out. Steps today set at 7k and I booked a surprise trip for myself and kerry this afternoon to have red light therapy and infrared sauna to trip and help our recovery which was nice to have a few hours mental switch off

[Marc]

I agree with what Andy has said. To add though, be mindful in a cut you won’t be building muscle this generally happens in a calorie surplus so do bare this in mind.

Continue to deliver a high level of service. If anything use it as motivation to aim higher in life, not necessarily in this workplace position but something that will reap a return in terms of being paid for your worth. If however, you feel you are being treated unfairly contact a union representative and have this conversation

[Marc]

Absolutely no reason to laugh at this post after prep. The fact you are asking the question instead of not is spot on. In this instance I would definitely reduce your volume either by lowering the weight or reducing rep ranges. For example 8-12 reps instead of 12-15 reps, do you need all the exercises in your plan or can 1 be removed. Keep your sessions productive without putting you in a hole when it comes to recovery

Slight increase in bodyweight from yesterday, overall bodyweight on average this week is down by 1.2kg so a big week ticked off. Plan of action from Kuba was another high day with carbs today, steps to be kept at 7k and not 12k.

My body feels tired today, so had another massage my second one of the week to try and help my recovery.

A few bits of client work also ticked off today

Hi guys

1kg weight drop overnight and a new bodyweight low by 0.7kg, weighing in at 117.9kg this morning. Huge drop off and another step forward with condition. Visuals sent over to Kuba this morning and he said keep steps as low as possible, lower training session as normal and high carb day. I didn’t ask for calories / won’t work it out as I’m not interested but more so do what’s needed without counting numbers.

Today felt like “prep”. Energy is a lot lower, training numbers down as was the weights but I did what was needed for today and that’s what counts.

Pictures and bodyweight will be sent over to Kuba tomorrow for his direction on what the plan of action will be. I’ll keep you all updated tomorrow

[Marc]

Top man really good to read this and you are certainly in a great mindset / learning. Keep this going !!

[Marc]

Potentially you might need to adjust your training volume based on the above what you have said. Could you post up your workouts so that we can feedback to you. Also prior to starting this new training split did you take a de-load or consecutive rest days?

[Marc]

I’m full agreement with Maddy here! It’s good you are taking all the steps to not fail a drug test, but this supplement wouldn’t be on the market being sold if it would cause you to fail a test. All the best for your show

[Marc]

I really do agree with the comments from the team. Try to block out the noise, unfortunately there are some shallow minded people who want to put others down. Keep focused on your goals and ticking them off one by one. You’ve got this

[Marc]

In person check in this morning with Kuba. He’s very happy with where I am currently and it’s added more fuel to the fire to keep on pushing to bring me best. 5 weeks out this weekend, we spoke about other shows also and how the season will go but for now we take one show at a time. Very good upper session also today at ultraflex gym Rotherham with my training partner Karlton who is also prepped by Kuba and he’s looking insane. I’m very excited to see his season unfold !!

1) What are your thoughts on GLP1s (Retatruide, Tirz, Sema etc) Have you or have you had your clients implement any of these?

2) What are your Top 3 Tampa Pro predictions this weekend?

3) What would you say your strongest and weakest body parts are?

Hi mate

So in answer to your questions

1) I personally have used this and my clients haven’t either so it’s hard to comment my thoughts. But given the right environment they can be useful tools

2) Jordan Hutchinson, John Jewitt then 3rd spot wide open Quinton, Justin shier and Jon del a Rosa. It’s a deep line up, if anyone is off they will suffer with placings

3) to be honest I think I’ve closed a lot of gaps in my physique especially this last off season. I would say my back is my strongest bodypart. Weakest hmm I always want more legs lol but this is the bodybuilder in me

[Marc]

Hi all!! New territory for me with my bodyweight. Down 0.4kg from yesterday previous low bodyweight, I weighed in at 118.6kg today and so far I am down 0.9kg on average compared to last week. Things are moving very well and visually I am happy with what I am seeing, leaned and not flattening off so it’s all positives and I continue to push on from here.

Filmed today for my YouTube channel, prep update, Q&A and more… so keep your eyes peeled for that dropping next week

[Marc]

Are you eating bread currently, you said you like it with eggs. If so continue with what is available to you as long as you find it digests well. No need to overthink here
