My opinion – get lean, really lean.

Get body comp great, hunger high, insulin sensitivity good.

Get yourself back in a great routine, adherence spot on – I’m not sure on your goals but getting busy with studies etc is no reason to be off plan, you still have to eat and move so it may as well be good food rather than rubbish food as it’ll make brain function and productivity higher if you stay doing what you need to. My brother is a doctor he used his busier periods of work and study time to diet as it made him more productive so it’s not impossible just need to not make excuses.

Anyway from here as you’ve hit a wall with feeling bloated and appetite isn’t there – take a massive re set with a diet and then focus on being fully to plan when you build back into a growing phase so you can make progress doing a 7 week diet here and a 10 week push there and a 8 week diet and a 8 week push isn’t really going to yield the most results. Diet hard do 10-12 weeks and then go into a proper offseason for a good 20 weeks and stick to plan

Hey guys

Pull day for me –

Session felt so good took 3 plates again on the bar and they moved well with 2 extra reps compared to last session. Very happy. Definitely will add some weight next session.

Rest day tomorrow it’s my nans 89th birthday she doesn’t know what day it is as she has dementia but she’s a funny old girl and I can’t wait to go see her

Looks good to me – if you start finding you stall a little on your presses as I know both push sessions start with compounds into isolations you could pop an isolation like one of your delt isolations first before presses but you’ll have a while if you progress it up steady before you need to adapt anything

If you burnt through it so rapid then i would of gone with a day 3 from there.

I would of likely added some fats into day 2 based on the small increase from day 1 however during this as they will of helped the carbs stick better so to speak –

I agree with hilly here if you’re dropping from
A “carb up” or not a carb up it’s simply just dropping fatigue so when you actually carb up if you’re seeing things drop you need to add more – some fats will help things stick better but ideally in a carb up you do want to to see your bodyweihgjt creeping up a tad

I would carry on as normal – it’s definitely normal doe sessions to feel more taxing especially hinge sessions that fire the CNS towards the end of the diet – post the end of the diet could run a small deload to just give that body a re set as you push into a surplus and you should be good to go to keep your sessions and movements in around that

I would eat at maintenance – why can you not train totally – surely there has to be at least something you can train?

Hey All

Happy Monday – Mondays are always busy days, but good days.

Push in the gym today – I really didn’t like the nautilus neutral grip last session the handles are so fat for my skinny hands and the handles go so wide compared to the size of me – so I’ve gone back to the Atlantis 🙂 looking forward to build up strength with it from this point

Meg Sylvester IFBBPRO

[Meg]

I would make sure hydration is tip top – if you’re feeling good just pick up where you left off – having 7lbs off total I can’t imagine you’re yet in a place to be ready for a big offseason so continue to see out your diet

Meg Sylvester IFBBPRO

[Meg]

Hey All

Hope you’re having a good Sunday.

Rest day here for us – normal rest day of dog walking, working, house work –

We may go to the cinema if we have some time this afternoon – to re set the batteries before another big week

Meg Sylvester IFBBPRO

[Meg]

It’s just going to take time – it’s not a bad thing to stay hungry. The things you didn’t to manage appetite in your diet – extra caffeine, a fizzy drink, staying busy keep doing that now and over time you’ll be able to slowly reduce that
