Hey,

I’ve suffered for this my whole life tried insoles, ultra sound, massages, podiatrists and nothing has ever helped.

I’ve found walking a lot and building up my calf’s has helped eliminate the pain. When I’m training wearing my vibrams has stopped all foot pain.

Not a good idea in my opinion.

So today was the first day back in the gym since bodypower had a rest yesterday even though I was supposed to train as I was beat from all the walking…dropped 1.2 kilo even with a cheat and a doughnotts ????

So from today we’ve decided to push up again as mini cut has gone really well but ready to grow a little more again. Kuba wants me to do 2 cheats per week rather than increasing daily foods. One clean cheat post back hams and glutes e.g. homemade spaghetti bolognese, burger etc and then a whatever I want cheat after legs…all I ever really want is steak and chunky chips I don’t crave anything really as good is quite high. Just ready to feel even stronger and make more progress.

Today was back hams and glutes managed to work up to 130 for the first time on RDLs felt back May have taken over on the last few though.

Check in day before we drive off to Birmingham for the weekend at bodypower.
I’m down another .2kg this week so down 3kg in total since the start of my mini cut – feeling good when I train still and happy with progress just know I need a lot more muscle before I’d be anything to look at on a pro figure stage ????????

Had a great hams and glutes session today starting to really get a good connection in my glutes now I’ve really struggled with it previously. I’m not sure what the switch has been but I really think about where I want to target each time I start a rep, I’ve started using my bands when competing movements like leg press and stiff legs plus I’ve taken weight down at the start of offseason focused on form and then built back up with weight and also started doing some activation work at the start of each workout…so maybe I just answered my own question on what is different haha.

Anyway session went as follow

Hams and Glutes
Single leg curl x2
Single leg hip thrust x3 and hip thrust
Banded leg press x2 second set RP 20 second go again 15 second go again
Dumbells stiff leg dead’s banded
X2 10 15
Single leg press x3 6 10 15
Seated leg curl x2 Rp on second set
Calf’s x2

So yesterday was leg day…felt a little sluggish going into my session, sleeps been long but I don’t feel rested when I wake so not sure what’s happening.

Session was:
Leg press pause at bottom
Pendulum
Smith Split squat (foot on bench)
Hip Thrusts
DB Leg curl
Single leg curl
Lightweight stiffs

All set 1 8-20 reps, set 2 12-15

Hey meg question for you

With the hip thrust machine would you say you move way less load than you would with a barbell ?

I struggle to feel a good contraction like I do with bb with the same load maybe @kuba1000hotmail-co-uk-cielen would know as well

Depends on the machine, best way. Disregard load and nail form first and foremost. Suck your stomach in contract glutes then proceed with the rep. You will find connection is 100% better but reps will be a ton harder

Thank you I’ll give that a go today , where should the belt be on me as well maybe I’m doing that wrong [/quote]
Hi Jeannie,

I used to focus on load do moving it for moving sake & saw no progress in glutes. Now like Kuba said I focus on form and timing of my breathing to get a good connection. I don’t move as much weight as before but I’ll work up to it with great form x

Hi Meg ???? thank you so much that means a lot! Yes I totally agree! I usually wear a weave on show day as my own hair is super thin at the ends and is also naturally curly so just looks so messy the moment I feel the stage heat haha! So I’m thinking the weave but a natural wave ????

Ah yes definitely helps thank you! I agree, that first time you use a chest pad after and its like ‘woah what the hell!?’ haha! I don’t know if you’re the same, but I struggle with movements that include a hang or stretch – like a lat pull down, pull up, hanging leg raise – the sides of my pec are just sooo weak now!

Hope you’re well, looking awesome as always! ???? x

Yes I definitely think a weave just adds thickness I’ve never used them but trailing them now and I never want to take it out haha, think your hair looked bang in last year!

Yeah I find I have to get my body in a specific position to not feel uncomfortable and stronger. I’ve got to have mine re done this year so got to start all over again xx
