    Structure is the best thing

    Maybe you don’t have the ability to have the same days all week all the time

    So preparation is key
    When I worked full-time, I would prep my meals for the full week on Sunday
    Chilling in the fridge the first three days
    Freezing the rest of the week
    And then getting it out the night before to thaw if it was frozen, I never had any issues from a digestive perspective or getting sick from food

    Or you could simply have foods that are just simple on the go style one so that there’s minimal preparation

    Sit down every Sunday
    Write out exactly how each day is going to look
    Work
    Wake up time
    Sleep time
    Training time
    Et cetera

    And stick with it, but if things do crop up, at least you are prepared with your meal so that if your days have to adjust a little that keeps you feeling so on top

    I used klow morning and evening
    BPC 1mg morning and evening
    Tb500 5mg 2xaweek
    2IU GH pre bed

    In my recent breast surgery recovery – your partners surgery is a lot more invasive than mine so healing time will be longer

    But I recovered quick enough to be back to the gym training legs in 10 days post surgery

    Are you a natural or are you not?

    March 10, 2026 at 3:57 pm in reply to: Just tore hamstring and don’t know what to do

    Morning update is no bruising or swelling but unfortunately there’s currently no pain-free range of motion in the hamstring whatsoever. I’ve been keeping blood flowing by walking where I can and gonna get it checked out soon. Again thank all of you for the advice, it really helped! 😀

    Hopefully you have had it seem to and hopefully it is starting to mend properly, I’m guessing that it hadn’t torn if there wasn’t any bruising, but I’m sure if it was a pull that resting until it was ready he was the best thing to do xxx

    Meal prep
    Back to work

    We headed to the sauna and ice bath place this afternoon just for a little bit of a body recovery day as – the lower body is getting a lots of hammer now which is not a bad thing loving it, but definitely need to make sure that we stay on top of as much recovery things as possible

    Hopefully you’re all having a great day

    Hey!

    What Alison says is great

    For me I make my meals
    The day before and chill the night before I leave then before I leave I pop in a meal prep bag and it usually stays good

    I do make my first 3 meals as usual and the last 2 I will use
    – salad instead of veg
    – rice cakes instead of rice
    – chicken
    – fresh fruit like apple or pineapple only
    – or use dry products like cream of rice, whey, dark choc raisins to use for the later meals and use hot water from plane / airport to make so that I don’t take it made in the bag to go off

    Hope that helps

    March 8, 2026 at 7:08 am in reply to: Adherence after cut

    Hey, hope you’re okay

    I can imagine that it can be difficult after nights to feel a little bit less motivated , but for sure actions always out weigh that

    Some people might be able to do everything as usual during night shifts, but other people may not , it also depends on the type of work that you do

    So hilly is right in saying that you just need to keep a great routine even now in the off-season just as important and a way to be able to stay consistent, but you could also look us to see if your routine needs to be slightly different Night Shift to non Night Shift night shift, especially with the amount of training sessions that you are able to do amd recover from as it might need to be different to the non-Night Shift weeks

    So the progress can still happen. You might do five sessions on the usual week but then on a night shift week only four/theee

    That’s what I do with my clients. Figure out what’s going to fit well for them.
