Hey All

Hope you’ve had a great Sunday and weekend!

A lovely day work and seeing my family before heading to the gym.

Was also super nice to chat up with @rheagayle on the phone yesterday too 💜

Todays session was real solid – achieved my goal of 2 plates for good reps on the incline cycbex smith press – 8 reps.
Some adjustments made to todays session from kuba some additional side delt work to aid my delt + width growth before moving to the prime flat press from the gym shop – a great session ✔️

Lots of little work bits done today that I’ve not had chance to do during check in days –

It may be worth posting up your bloods to see a clearer view of markers for us to aid further

Obviously we won’t sugar coat in that pharm grade GH is fantastic tool with recovery especially if all over variables are aligned too with recovery – tissue work, mobiiity, keeping form good as you train, ice baths, sauna, hot baths, allowing for some “sit down time”, keeping on top of steps.

Collagen is a useful tool you can find this in the TBJB join in, the osteo pro alongside this is super useful with keeping recovery good

And keeping cortisol / stress in a good spot is super important too – the halycon from tbjp can be super effective with this

Small doses on bpc 157 and tbh 500 can also be effective in some cases too

Hey Carina

I don’t think personally it’s a necessity to have a training partner. Especially one who doesn’t bring anything to the table.

If you’re alone – you train to your time, your session – you can be selfish with your time there.

If you need a spot I’m sure anyone at the gym would be happy to – or just learn how to “fail safely” on most lifts

I love to train alone, I love to train with others too – if it fits well

Hope you’ve all had a great Friday

Was in the gym for a leg session today – another great and progressive session.

I’ve not had a pre workout (caffine) based since prep + kuba added some prepare pro to my Pumpage today, I felt like my head was going to explode (in a good way of course) was ready to work

I do think we have to channel a little inner aggression when it comes to a real working set – we had this conversation post workout – a big set definitely doesn’t come from sunshine and rainbows – but a little more aggression with a sprinkle of passion

For Kubas body we use a Phillips 1 blade – I think that’s what it’s called.
It’s an electric one and gets super close like you’re using a razor.

It’ll take a while regardless if you do it yourself or have someone else to do it –

Hey All

Happy Thursday – I said that yesterday and it was actually Wednesday haha, today is definitely Thursday

Had a nice rest day – work ✔️ admin ✔️ clean out the wardrobes ✔️

A little declutter was needed post Christmas – feels great mentally too

I agree with Ryan – if it smells it’s not fresh.

I also use turkey breast for this reason. Or buy the chicken breasts from the meat counter not in the big packs. As I also found I was chopping more away so it wasn’t worth the “lesser cost”

Hey All

Hope you’ve all had a great Thursday

Today was a super day in the gym … VERY strong. It’s was a pull day, with glute top up and what a day it was!
It feels so fantastic when things are going really well in the gym

I’m looking forward to Friday as my friend Laura has asked to train, which will be lovely.m

So if it is gyno, from the investigating the guys above have told you to do, as they cover the basis of what how to look / check

I’d not bother with the estro-blockers, they will help but they aren’t a supplement you want to be on long term.

Getting in with a plastic surgeon to have it removed would be the way I’d personally go.

Happy Tuesday all

Normal morning of work and then I had the pleasure of one of my clients doing me a facial, she is a qualified nurse and it was all a little fancy. But I felt so good after, was a little gift for Christmas and I appreciate it massively from her. But I couldn’t recommend it enough for anyone to have done! And was an hour to myself which I never really get much chance of.

The back to business in the gym with a solid and strong push session!

Routine is key to most people who can’t stick to a plan

And knowing that no foods are no foods, but just understand macros in able to make swaps day to day to be able stick to a plan

Most people struggle because they think they have to eat bland and boring foods or don’t make effort with their meal prep to make it enjoyable. It’s about finding that right balance for you

A lovely day in the office.

I’m pretty certain we had covid when we went to the states…well when we came back. Bastard whoever brought it.

Some days feel epic some days not so much, but more days good than bad now so I’m happy for that.

Strong and PBs flying right now – that’s all that matters eating all the food doing all the training and being consistent with the approach

I’d use what you have for now, especially if money is tight. Until you can afford more once the tub is used up. I would just use some whole food sources for your protein

Hope you’ve all had a great weekend

I had a really good day yesterday as a couple of clients came to visit. One lady we’ve been working together for coming up to 3 years together and we’d never met. So it was really great to get to meet her and speak with her.

I love meeting people I’ve known for a long time that I’ve never physically met you feel you’ve know each other forever, crazy what the internet can help us do
