Had a really great upper session today which went as follows:
High incline chest press( target front lat here and upper pec tie in ) v2 high incline dumbell press
Seated shoulder press / v 2 smith machine
Single arm side lat cuffed on cable v2 side lateral machine
Lying cuffed Side lateral
Reverse pec dec v2 bent over lateral
Front raises ( dumbbell seated on incline bench ) v2 use barbell or cable front raise with bar
Tricep dip ( use benches ) v2 use bodyweight on dip stand
Bicep curl ( use ez bar ) v2 bicep curl machine
So almost like a push session with som extra top ups.
Still feeling strong but also having one of those days were I’m not too sure I’m “big” enough/developed enough for Figure just yet only time will tell!

Had a really busy day today…
I started work at 8 over in Leeds so needed to walk the dog & sort breakfast before leaving.
I had 2 appointments today with clients one was a fraud presentation to a group of 60 lawyers and then my second was sorting some lending agreements with a customer. All went well & then finished off my admin before my back ham and glutes session.
I love this session starting to get a real connection in my glutes like I do with my back so hopefully will help with development. Tried out the new Prime kit and new Prepare both are amazing ???? Got a busy 10 days off work now, all will be revealed soon…….

Morning all…
I’ve been really struggling with tendonitis in my knee for the last few months, but I’ve added in a couple anti inflammatory supps in the morning as I wake up and finally starting to feel less sore and able to train legs without my knee strap it’s the curcumin (1 teaspoon) and 1 tab of the boswellia serrata both from Supplement Needs. If your struggling with any tendon/ligament issues maybe give it a go ????????

Hey,
It’s individual to you really with what works better…personally when I used to play hockey I used to drip carbs in all morning pre match and then some post too. Helped me recover better than just having something carby pre and post.
Hope that helps. Maybe just play around with it see what works better for you

Hey meg what approach do you use for you deload is it less sets , or lighter weight ? Everyone has different methods xx

Hey! So I’ve gone for less weight and less reps almost like my pump sessions in peak week.
So for example on leg press if usually do a few warms ups then 1 set 6-8 (8 plates per side last sessions) then a set of 10-12 (6 plates per side last session)
This week on this exercise I did 10-15 reps on 5 plates per side

Check in day…down 1.1kg from last week from 2nd week of cut plus a deload week. Will drop another 2kg then push back up.
I still don’t feel big/dense enough for Figure but we shall see when I prep I’m not willing to take something to the stage which isn’t competitive ✌????

I always prefer to have foods instead of shakes…but if I have whey it’s usually a good quality iso

[Meg]

Safe to use just taste terrible when not warmed up…if you’ve not got access to a microwave heat it pre putting in Tupperware won’t taste as bad when it chills back down

Enjoying my deload this week…I mean I can’t wait to get fully back to the gym but it’s been good to give my body some rest.

Check in day tomorrow see how we’re looking because I’m feeling teenie after moving no weight really this week

There are days in offseason I feel as hungry as I do on prep, pushing or adding food isn’t always necessary. You can always look at spreading meals out more evenly, look at whether you’re bored or actually hungry. If body comp is still good and you feel you could push more then do so ✌????

First session of deload today which was hams & glutes:
Single leg curl x2
Single leg hip thrust x3
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

I only did 1 working set of each exercise rep range was between 10-12 so weight wasn’t too heavy today. Still feeling tired and body feels battered definitely the rest guy choice to run the deload.

I also had some client meetings in Cheltenham today so a 300 mike round trip today day…glad that client is ticked off for the year so the rest are just based around Yorkshire ????????
