    I am with Clare they are very different

    If Cardio is needed, then I would utilise it and if it’s just steps to help move more than those will need to be get done

    If you simply don’t have time, you could potentially look at doing some steady state cardio if it’s going to save you some time if it’s of the essence

    I’m with Clare i wouldn’t be using something a year out of date

    But a week or a couple months with health supps will be perfectly fine

    And like Clare mentioned if they look , feel or even smell different that would be a way to see if it needs to be avoided

    Firstly what drove the binge

    Yes you’d not want to try and undo the damage if it was good focus / emotion driven as likely if you pull back you risk it happening again !

    So Alison’s fedback stands there

    But why did it happen I think working on the root cause to manage it not happening more will be a best way to go !

    Did you struggle with this befor

    For me it just depends on your day, if you get enjoyment and a lot from going to the gym and time allows then do

    If time is precious especially during the week it could be a weekend gym you go to, setting one of your sessions per week there for the equipment they have

    It’s definitely easy if you be got a sweet tooth, for sure a bit of variety in your diet during the day will always help keep digestion in the best place possible

    Tye it in with half savoury to get some more whole foods meals in too 🙂

    I guess the question is more what is the goal for the rest of this phase?

    You could definitely utilise G H at 5/6 units likely getting less of interrupted sleep but the benefits of utilising it

    NPP if you were getting a lot of water weight from it but liked utilising it, you could go in with a smaller of 200 MG per week

    Hey guys, hope you are well

    Hope you’ve had a great weekend

    Sunday today and I will be training lower body ( shock )

    Today’s session will be

    Hip thrust
    Hyper extension
    Split squat
    Glute machine

    All with three sets

    Progression across this week with strength has been the best. It’s been in about half a year

    And I’m excited to keep on building !

    Hope you all have a great rest of your day

    I agree with it

    If the goal is to build muscle and get bigger

    You are more than lean enough , your condition is great and I’m sure that it has been a great diet phase

    Time to reverse diet and get stuck into a building phase so that you can unlock new levels with your muscularity

    Start by dropping down expenditure and adding in some extra foods both metrics to begin with and then each week see how your body responds and make adjustments from there to build up some more

    Hey guys

    Happy Saturday

    Hopefully you’re all excited for a great weekend ahead

    Rest day here today, which will be nice

    And then tomorrow will be a lower body

    Really enjoyed my leg session yesterday and it’s nice the last week strength really feels like it’s started to build up well

    It is nice to see what good food and more of it can do and I’m actually really enjoying being stuck into a little bit more of a grow phase , looking forward to seeing the changes that can happen

    Have a great weekend all

    February 27, 2026 at 9:27 pm in reply to: Upper-Lower split for my GF

    It’s not bad at all, if she has ankle mobility issues could she not just do a primer / warm up at the start and keep her actual calf work till right at the end to give her glutes the focus

    I do like a kick back variation in all sessions for an isolated glute exercise doesn’t need to be at the start but a nice way to end

    I suspect the smith squat is glute dom?

    And leg press glute focus ?

    And split squat glute bias stance ?

    How about having her split as

    Glutes

    Upper

    Rest

    Glutes

    Upper

    Lower

    So you can make specific glutes only session to give it priority whilst not ignoring whole

    Leg and having a day dedicated solely to that if her goal is still to develop them as a whole

    Hi Meg, thank you very much for the answer
    Unfortunately, she only has Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday available to train
    Leg press is glute bias
    Smith squat is quad bias
    Bulgarian split squat is glute bias
    Where would you insert the glute isolation? [/quote]
    Hey

    Okay perfect so if she’s really wanting glute focus with very little of anything quad I’d go
    Glute isolation
    3 x glute compounds
    2 – at a push 3 extra isolations with a mix of glute and hamstring and some quad if wanted

    Then calves can be added where you find finds best
