    Hey guy

    Rest day here

    A usual weekend rest day – work, massage, dog walking, food prepping, kind of days

    Was nice to see both mine and Kuba’s mum for Mother’s Day and spending some quality time with them!

    Hey Guys

    New prep low today, things have been moving well this week which is fab.

    Same stuff different day

    Had legs today, start of session was epic then did leg press and the bands just fucked me, I don’t think I have that strength for both end ranges right now so they have to go. Still strong sets done, but just not up to my standard, so I’m a bit annoyed

    Anyway, time to have last meal and great ready for another day

    I agree with Kuba on this one pull back on that and if that doesn’t help some unwind post training will be good for you!

    Hey All rest day for me it’s been a nice day of working, house work and I went to the cinema with kuna to watch iron claw, I didn’t realise it was such a sad film I definitely need to start watching trailers before I go. But still a great film!

    Back in with legs tomorrow will be a great session with the boys

    Wherever you feel hungry at the most – you have a decent amount around training so could add somewhere else.

    Do you have an intra? EAAs and a sustain would be a good addition

    Hi meg

    I saw on a previous video you explaining how you get rAw weight to cooked weight in rice when cooking in batches i can’t find the video would it be possible for you to explain if possible and also one for potato would be massively appreciated

    Thank you

    Hey so say you have 400g cooked rice (I’d always find a 100g portion as it’s easy to work from after cooked)

    Cook the 400g

    Weigh it cooked

    Divide that amount by 4

    You get what 100g worth of raw weight rice would be

    If you need 75g – times the amount you have by 0.75, if you need 125g times that amount by 1.25

    Gets easier the longer you do it

    Hey Guys

    Hope you’re good.

    Pull day today, which is my back and glutes / hams day.

    Session was great – actually had some nice rep progressions from last session at the start of the session and towards the end it was more maintaining the session before – which is good for this point

    Condition has stepped forward a lot the last couple days since the diet break, looking forward to keep on pushing on 🙂

    I agree with Kuba don’t be too quick to jump
    Course.

    You can try adapting like he has mentioned above

    If non of this helps you can then think about a re set to go again

    Hey All

    Hope you’re well

    Back to training today and I loved it, sessions still feel pretty great obviously I’m not
    Progressing at this point and vol has been reduced a bit to make sure performance still stays strong by Kuba but I feel pretty good in there

    Was nice to see some new lines when posing and training 🙂

    I agree with Kuba – whey will help and really delving into quality of food sources used currently

    Hey Guys

    Hope you’re good – last day of rest day.

    A very long couple of days – I sound pathetic since started to feel a bit less dead

    I’m excited to get back to the gym tomorrow, will be a good little intro back into the gym with push at north Leeds I love the hammer shoulder press.

    Hope you’ve all had a good Tuesday

    March 4, 2024 at 6:07 pm in reply to: Want to add my first arm day. Few questions

    I would put arms after Push and pull then arms, legs then off and repeat see how recovery is from the first 4 weeks then decide if it’s a good move

    With dips I’d keep them in push if you’re doing an arm day I’d keep it to more isolation work – dips isn’t that imo so keep them in push and see arms more so an an active rest day

    Hey All

    Second day of deload and feeling good, would like to be in the gym obviously but I know it’s needed – after some heavy foods yesterday and not a lot of movement (for me) my bodyweihjr dropped we know my body was knackeed from that but visuals today were much better than yesterday still flat and a bit fat but Kuba’s happy with where things are for now

    Hi Meg it’s been really interesting and useful following your prep on here. What is your daily cardio and steps at the moment please? [/quote]
    Hey Andrew, thank you I appreciate that. Hope you’re doing well. Steps are just what I get between 15-17k per day. Cardio non but I do a fasted morning walk that’s pretty fast paced every day of the year

    As body is now a little fuller, even if weight isn’t much higher. Doesn’t need to happen right now as I’m not 100% ready. Clen still down, steps still as low as I can get them (around 12k) and foods still higher than baseline – this will likely be what I run today and tomorrow before back to normal Wednesday – can’t wait for it. We know it’s needed at times but just nicer to be pushing.

    These are foods for tomorrow and probs tomorrow:

    M1
    300 ml egg white
    75g cream of rice 100g blueberry
    50g asparagus 50g veg mix

    M2
    125 Wild salmon
    50g rice
    50g veggies 50g veg mix 25g peppers
    50berries

    M3
    40 iso
    50g oats
    100g frozen berries

    M4
    125 Turkey
    50g rice
    50g green beans 50g veg mix
    50g peppers
    50 banana

    M5
    125 Turkey or 125g prawn
    50g rice
    50 g asparagus 50g veg mix
    50 banana

    M6
    75g oats
    40g iso
    100g berries
    10g dark chocolate

    I’ve took most my caffeine out too so just had my morning coffee last few days give my body a break from it and will be back in when back to work Wednesday
