Hey Guys

Hope you’ve had a wonderful Saturday – push day for me 🙂

The day started with food prepping, dog walking, client work, client zoom and then to the gym.

All numbers were beat on my session very happy with the progress

I used to work 8 hour days 6 x per week so pretty similar to you.
Like the girls say above it is there priority the bodybuilding for you perhaps not that’s cool you just want to lead a healthy lifestyle.
I think finding nice easy ways to cook and varying sources will help massively. Air frying, George Foreman grill, steaming (with a steamer) are all great ways and quick ways I used to cook my foods to make them different plus I used to season them different and would change up sources every few days like rice to potato etc so boredom doesn’t hit.
When you then have an off plan choose something good and nutritious so it fills you something that’s good quality – sushi, steak and chips, a good burger something that will leave you satisfied
Balance can be done you just have to choose to think outside of the box when it comes to meal prep.

Leg Day

And we had the pleasure of training with Caitlin today absolutely loved having her along!

What an awesome athlete she will go so far because she trains hard and she truly does it for the love of it. That’s rare to come by and something that aligns much with my own thought process.

We saw progression across the board on all lifts – very happy

Like always as far away from the workout perimeter for the recovery aspect.

I find fasted a nice set up for your day – to get the body moving

Hey Guys

Hope you’ve all had a lovely Tuesday – today has been pretty nice all client work done by 11am and then I did some admin work before heading to the gym.

Gym was strong an extra 10kg on the snatch RDLs for the same reps and was happy with form on there today xx

So you want to have some that don’t help you push load just ones which keep the knees warm to reduce risk of injury.

But like Clare says if it’s injury prevention it’s good if you seek medical advice to help recover effectively

Hey guys – hope you’ve all had a great day. Today was a busy start to the week with client work – super happy with how all my competitors are coming down and excited to see them on stage this year.

Then to the gym to train push – all offseason PBs hit so I was real happy with my performance. Looking forward to pull tomorrow

Exactly what Oscar said. It’s great for progress as once you’ve maxed out one pin you have another pin to be able to load if strength and form allow xx

You are a paying member I can’t imagine the owner having an issue if they have, they would definitely have a conversation with you.

Legs was hit up yesterday.

I felt really strong accross the board. I’m
Terrible at squatting so started off light on the hack I will progress this now little by little as reps were continuous, depth was perfect and control was good too.

Ready for rest day

Today’s session has absolutely wiped me out, that and the turn around from dayshift to nightshift.
Stayed up to about 1am last night and got out of bed at 11am today, I’ve not quite mastered not feeling wrecked around nightshifts but I feel a lot better now with some sort of routine than I did when winging it!
Posterior day;
3 sets single are pull downs
3 sets of glute ham raises
2 sets of paused RDLs
2 sets of hip thrusts
3 sets of seated row
2 sets of single arm machine row
3 sets of an upper back row
I’m absolutely done ?. Already looking forward to bed in the morning!
Checked in with my coach Ally today who thinks 2022 might be a push for getting on stage and thinks that 2023 might be more achievable. I kind of thought it might happen given how much I need to grow and being natural, bit bummed about it but it’s understandable I think.

Hey have you tried to take rest on the days where you come night shift to day ? It would help you a lot from a recovery standpoint
