    I don’t do them on everything – just those I feel safe and still locked in with tension lateral raises, leg extensions are my only ones that I do

    I agree with Clare it’s useful to have for health benefits.

    I would keep it away from training to not hinder recovery – with clients I usually start with 10 mins and work up to 15 mins max –

    Helps to keep a good level of fitness there. I’ve also seen most people stay with fitness levels enough for health and getting to work in sets from LISS cardio also

    A busy day – early wake and sorting of foods before we headed to Manchester for Kuba to view some warehouses

    Lots of driving and travel time –

    All work completed before I left and last work things to finished once home

    We have legs tomorrow so it’s all about relaxing and getting ready for that tonight

    I’d probably go and see a well educated, highly recommended chiropractor.

    I have 2 clients who have Scoliosis and strengthening there erectors and core through doing these types of movements actually help them function well in day to day life.

    Each person is different, everyone’s issues have to be approached in a way that’s safe for you personally but I would definitely do what I’ve said above and also if any of those types of movements cause no pain I wouldn’t know why you’d just stop doing them.

    Maybe even a form and control issue as to why it’s current painful to do it rather than because of your issues form a personal biomechanics perspective

    pull day – and a usual Sunday morning of check ins, client team call this week in the form of a q+a answering all prep, off-season, PED, coaching help that the team want answering. It’s also a nice way to feel part of a team and not just totally lonesome

    Some good progress in todays pull session, a little bit of a different order due to one of my clients jumping in on my session, but all numbers still stepped forwards. Lucy one of my natural clients but she’s an absolute beast, so it was nice to train with her!

    The amount your aiming for is pretty standard for a diet phase yes.

    Once progress starts to slow make a diet change or an expenditure change and see how that takes you for 5-7 days and make adjustments as needed

    Hey Guys

    Kubas birthday today – yesterday we headed to the spa which was really nice – good to be off the phone for an hour and enjoy each others company

    Today was a push day –

    Progress seems to be building quite nicely off the back of some extra good and the assistance re-addtion.

    Really happy with how everything looked and felt today a really positive session!

    I agree with Claire these types of proteins are usually pretty awful for digestion –

    Go with a shake of cream of rice or oats – with some added fats and a good quality protein

    Hey Guys

    Hamstring day today

    Hinges felt super strong which is what we want – a little bit of extra food always has those feeling a little better – most other movements don’t feel a struggle in a diet but hinges do for me obviously shows they are still a weakness – will aim to make them even better this time around in this push

    Still no weight increase today – so don’t know what’s going on there hopefully across the next few days we see it bump a little.

    Anyway – pull day today which is:

    Cable lat pull down
    Prime upper back row
    Prime lat row
    Prime pin upper back row
    Lat pullover
    Hip thrusts
    Rear delts
    Biceps

    Will be a good session x

    I agree with Kuba – most erectile issues come when tiredness is high and when body fat is extremely low.

    Get back on top with your sleep and it should help it

    If sleep gets better and it doesn’t improve have a look at some blood see where you are
