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 x

Hey All

Hope you’ve all had a great Tuesday

A bit of a later night for us tonight – worth it though.

A fantastic leg day and then out for some sushi with everyone which was fantastic!

Baxter worked on some long term issues I’ve had – will put into practise lots of it to get things moving in a very positive light. Cannot wait for it all to just keep on getting better.

Rest day ahead of 2 training days tomorrow 💜

We took volume to 85% on this session as I just feel so good

I feel like the fullness and pop is coming back to my physique now which is great

How lean were you before upping these carbs ? Do you have any pics before and after

Condition wise things are looking good still – I would aim to sit at this level of food for some time just whilst the weight stablises a little – being nice and smart with any off planned foods or meals away from plan too 🙏🏼

Some visuals would be great – you will gain from additional calories – as you’re in a calorie surplus – a slow build up in an offseason of weight / body fat is normal.

Do you have a time frame set to go into a diet phase to help with body comp or a holding / maintenance phase?

Happy Saturday

I was naughty and put up the Christmas 🎄 Tree last night – we go to vegas for 10 days so basically I put it up early to enjoy it for as long as possible, Christmas is such a feel good time of year, and it’s fun to decorate the tree!

Today we’re back in the gym with push – todays and tomorrows sessions will be the last to increase with vol so looking forward to that for sure!

Today has the inclined Atlantis chest press and shoulder press in 2 of my favourite press machines so I’m really looking forward to that.

I like the prime presses but I’m just way too narrow / small haha to feel super comfortable, especially when they come down and diverge out, but I feel super locked in with the Atlantis so will be fun to get strong with these 🙏🏼

Happy Friday All

Hope you’re all ready for your weekend and have some lovely plans

Rest day today – filled of working + studying this AM

Me and Kuba will spend the afternoon doing something together which will be super nice

This weekend we have a couple clients who are finishing their season here to see us + also training both days this weekend – push and pull, these are the last 2 sessions to increase volume so looking forward to it as they are actually my favourite 2 of those rotations.

Looking forward to pushing for more strength now, my strength hasn’t really dropped off since being poorly which is fabulous but excited to escalate things a little from here now

No but I’d aim to have no more than 1 / 2 per day

I verge more on the side of 7up free due to lesser caffine as I already in prep get a good whack of that and too much of it isn’t the best for sleep and over use digestion too

Hey lovely guys

Today was a hammie session – kuba increased my vol a little today in this session too.

Back with RDLs after a long stint with the SLDL – I’ll go back to the SLDL at some point but for now it’s out and in place have the RDL I manged to get it up the 150 or 160 the last time I rotated it – I’d like a smooth 170 / 180 over the next 12 weeks – which I think is do able

Rest day again tomorrow post legs – I really enjoy the PPL set up with the 2 on 1 off 1 on 1 off – I feel it’s a perfect frequency for us

I find it looks like most people elevate a little when they ride the shins up –

I find wearing wrists straps to really hold myself in helps a lot with keeping the hips down along with making sure my core is locked real tight – making sure body language in the torso is minimal

Morning Guys

A really solid pull session yesterday – session was as follows :

Lat pullover x 1
Single arm kaz pulldown x 2
Extreme row x 2
Single DY row x 2
Upper back plate loaded pull down x 2
Rear delt fly x 2
DB curl x 1
Hip thrusts x 1

This is around 75% of usual volume – all sessions will be at that for this week we will see how things are at check in and take from there

Had a really off night with my stomach pain last night so sleep wasn’t the best, hopefully was just a bit of fatigue that’s set it off a good rest day and sleep tonight and should be good to go xxxx

Morning All

Yesterdays push session felt super good I did full vol on my pressing but still bottom vol on isolations. Feeling good this morning and not beat up, just the usual DOMs so that’s great. My mood and sleep feel fabulous too so really happy about that

Today is pull day – normal work day around that, will be a super session. Going to be filming for YT with that session so will be a good one!

Only a few clients still in prep at this point the rest are either very offseason waiting on prep to begin for next year or coming into an offseason now – a successful season for them all and can’t wait to do it all again next year 🙏🏼 this will be my first year coaching and not competing so that’ll be super strange!

Do you have a video you could maybe send on Instagram – it could be a form break down.

But I also get this sometimes as I have a real weakness on my right side QL and found working a little more on my abdominal work + bracing has really helped keep things in a better place when doing my pulls too

Hey Guys

Check in day today – pics and info all sent over to Kuba – I feel back to myself on todays pics – which is nice!

Had an off plan of sushi last night and only a small bump in weight gain from that.

I will add some pics below for you all – hoping to bump training volume a little this week too
