    Rest day it was a late one getting back from shows and catching up with all clients after show weekend

    Today we will sauna ice bath and go for a coffee before a home to relax style afternoon

    In enjoying my current split

    Upper
    Lower
    Rest
    Glutes
    Lower
    Rest repeat

    I’m not sure I’m keen on the glutes into legs day I do find it a bit harder to take much progress from that leg day but there’s still some progress and my legs are looking bigger. Having good programming allows it to stay manageable so I’m looking forward to seeing how it steps forwards

    Allison does make some very good recipes with the cream and rice

    Me and Kuba make a pancake and we actually have them on our YouTube

    You could have a go with that

    Or you could simply just make it in the microwave put water in it. I like to use a nice 3 to one ratio so three times in amount of water to cream of rice.
    Oh, sometimes people use little more than that. I’ll cook it for two minutes in the microwave and get it out steering and then keypad in one minute at a time and stirring after you get to consistency that you like.

    I have ran
    Upper lower rest repeat
    And
    Lower upper lower rest repeat

    I guess it depends on your goals and even your recoverability as to what it’s going to sit best for you

    Hey guys

    A day of pre-show day for a few clients, three of my lovely ladies doing the NPC regional competition in Milton Keynes two figure ladies and one Bikini, all looking absolutely incredible. None of them first time is but a couple of the girls haven’t competed for a very long time and when I say a very long time 7/8 years for a couple of them it’s nice to take them back to stage after them having a long hiatus

    I also have Kerry competing at the Arnolds, I am here in Birmingham to watch the event, she’s looking great

    I also had a normal wreck in the morning before travelling down and then a glutes session. We’re actually very close to a very good gym in our Airbnb so nice and easy.

    Rest day 2 of 2

    Morning of working , walking with dad with the dogs, meal prep and prepping some things for heading off to the Arnold’s tomorrow

    Tomorrow will be a nice early work day, Head to the Arnold’s and then go to train before the real Saturday show day kicks off

    I will get my bloods done on the Saturday too, all markers 2 weeks ago came back great beat they’ve been in 4 years but some weren’t able to be pulled from the labs from the people who test them so I’d rather re do incase any results were actually off

    Absolutely I think the best thing to do is have a nice space if you make incredible progress in the gym and also with your physique there is likely no need to actually take the volume anywhere but if there’s not really much happening and recoveries not really getting impacted at all then that’s when obviously more volume will be needed for now focus on strong and hard sessions and make the most of it

    Hey guys, hope you are well

    Rest day here we are going to do a double rest

    Which will work really well , since both of our knees are feeling a little bit tender

    It also allows for me to place training nicely around this weekend with travelling to the Arnolds as well

    That he will be a usual rest day
    Check in
    Walk
    Meal prep
    Back to work

    And then continuing on with the rest of the day

    Have a good one, guys

    We can’t tell you exactly what needs to happen to day to day as that needs to be approached with visuals each morning / bio feedback

    In terms of water adjuncts again that needs to be set on a day by day basis – you should e ready likely about now so meaning maipulations will be minimal.

    Do not have any off plan meals the night after show so you can run into the next peak with confidence and with ease ensuring you hydrate well into bed time the night of your show

    I did 3 back to back peaks in April 2024 I didn’t feel great by week 3 but each day was taken as a new one and modifications were made based on what the body / visuals were telling us

    I tried it once and didn’t find it the best as the texture is very different to oats in that it doesn’t really “soak” if needing to be quick use kettle water and mix up

    Thanks Kuba! Your log actually motivated me to ask the question, I see you do the same session everytime, over and over.

    What do you think is the hardest about it? The physical part, being the ability to progress? Or the mental part, of not switching up if it gets hard?

    I do think it’s all dependent on the person and sometimes even where they are in there journey

    If they are a little new training, sometimes they feel they need more variety from an enjoyment perspective to keep them going which is understandable
    If you’re a little bit more experienced and you don’t mind the monotony , I do think just one rotation or an a and B is enough with skill acquisition, and progression only happening once that has happened.
