Hey,

The rate of gain here isn’t negative – it’s quite reserved. You do need to gain an element of body fat to get a little more energy for day to day life you’re no longer in comp prep so we don’t need to try hold condition. The rate of gain to me is good, if anything I wouldn’t be angry with a little more

If you’re feeling good and performing good and seeing a steady rate of gain this is good, if things start to stagnate you can look to adjust

Increases come through – more good, strength increasing again, off plan eating (if any – not a negative for a meal off every week or 10 days imo). If you’re assisted changes in hormones function from change in cycle. I see a shift in weight / body comp when reducing out thyroid meds also

Hey Simon

I think following and seeing who’s protocols you allign with and you’ll also see their own personalities shine through,
Then it’s down to who you’d personally prefer to work with

Like any relationship it works both ways effort, communication and honesty from both sides needed

Hey All

Hope you’ve all had a fab Wednesday

Pull sessions today – Kuba adjust the order of my movements today switching one of my upper back rows and pull downs in order. Definitely felt so much better. I actually struggle to get my upper back pull downs working well if I’ve not done any upper back rows. So I’m really glad we’ve switched it

All volume up at 100% and feeling great for it

Evening All

Hope you’ve had a great day.

Push day for us today some really solid numbers in the gym which is just fun!

Excited to build a little we have a diet phase planned for May next year so excited to see what we can build from now until then

We’ve had the painter here today to do some bits to the house to give it a little freshen up, can’t wait to put all the Christmas decoration up as well as the tree now that the house is looking lovely and fresh x

Happy Monday

And a check in day for me 🙂

Always love playing around the WPD posing it’s not something I’d do as I’m not sure I’d ever have the density for it but I like the poses 🙂 I tried to add pics to this post but it won’t work for me

Sitting comfortably a kilo up from last week but condition isn’t getting worse and my performance is fantastic. Kuba is also happy!

Looking forward to getting bigger and stronger than ever

Happy Sunday

Hope you’ve all had a great weekend

Leg day today – is the predominately hamstring focused day

The main compounds will be a BB RDL and the pendulum squat – one of my leg sessions during this offseason I’d love to move back into the cybex smith and squat – I have some goals in there I want to smash and with some time away from stage it is a time I can do that!

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!

Happy Friday

Big pull session today – ran all volume today and felt epic for it.

After breaking down my hip thrust that felt so good today I have super doms in my ass so that’s great and loading wasn’t much different too but will push for more from here for sure.

Lots of pull downs, rows varying of lat and upper back focus – next session will be leg day with the heavy pulls

I want to work my way up slowly to a solid 4pps RDL I think having that in, for reps will help build where’s needed a little more. SLDL was fantastic for helping with my ham / adductor progression last offseason

Hi Kevin, what is your current pre workout meal? I don’t tend to change my pre workout meal on rest days I just remove my post workout meal and keep pre meal as a normal meal.

Okay! I might do this then! My pre is 100g CoR 40g Whey 2 toasts 4 rice cakes 50g jam . Maybe I just remove the toast and jam for rest days?[/quote]

Hey Guys

Second check in of the week for me – we always run bi weekly in offseason

Then daily in prep.

Kubas really happy – I definitely feel much bigger and fully now which is nice, I’ll always like being lean. But I also very much love getting extra strong in offseason.

Some quite heavy workload at the moment with lots of things going on just staying on top of being super organised so all can get done in the day. It’ll all be very much worth it for the future 🙏🏼

Hey Guys!

Happy Wednesday 🙂

Rest day here today – had a morning catching up on some admin aswell as well so a busy but productive morning

I’m on my final weeks of my pre-script course and started out with some nutrition education there too. Really enjoying it as excited to keep on learning. I think it’s amazing Jordan has started his YouTube channel, hardcore training, with reasonings behind. Something that seems to have disappeared in the industry a little. I think Jordan paves the way for many, so it’s great to see his information videos back in action. Him and Corinne were some of the first people I watched and learned from when started out in 2017, so it’s nice to have it back again

And just re adding this – as it didn’t post yesterday …..

Hey All

Check in day today – my weight starting to climb a little now after it staying a little stagnant post show. I actually like the fact I haven’t gotten out of shape too quick this year – we will start our first push escalation in the first part of December as long as the week priors bloods come back all fabulous

Training performance is feeling fantastic and very much enjoying my sessions that have been set too. Will be great to see strength rise and my body develop again

Some pics added below

For some reason it won’t let me add the pics I’ll try again tomorrow
