I wouldn’t do the legs portion today if you’re going back in with a FB again tomorrow – question I have here is have you ran this for a while I don’t find full body has a long run life if you’re quite progressed with your experience in the gym so it may be time to just run a U/L or PPL

Hey guys

A busy one

Usual morning

Work
Walk
Meal prep

Then I saw 3 of my clients / athletes who have come to the uk – one form the usa, two from Ireland to see them in person and solidify plans is always super cool.

Then I headed to help Kuba in his session as he nears the end of prep and I did a light bit of upper with him whilst he did his full push session

Back for legs tomorrow , just sessions going to have to be adapted because of my foot , have an appointment on Monday to figure out what’s up and take it from there, annoying but won’t stop me being in the gym and processing that need it to be adapted to the usual

I do a few exercises with just 1 set , but I just do a standard warm up set up to get there 10 reps, 2 reps, 2 reps and see if I need another before I get to work

Hey guys

A usual Friday here

Check ins
Walk
Meal prep
Work
Then I went with Kuba to the gym

I’ve really hurt my foot/ankle so we’ve given it another day of rest to try and get it right, I’m not so sure what I’ve done but I have an appointment on Monday to get it seen to

Will train again my usual leg day Sunday as long as it’s feeling good to go. If anyone knows me you know how annoyed I am, training is the best time in the world for me e

Hey guys

Rest day here which is the usual

Work
Meal prep
Walk ( kuba took the dog today as I’m not feeling my best )
Hopefully after a big day of rest today I’ll be feeling ready to get fully back to everything tomorrow, I hate not feeling my best but it happens!

I cooks get frustrated but going back into the gym etc when I’m not right will just make me worse !

So smart as we go

I always keep my hips neutral

I find you have to focus on form even more if it’s a hard to grow area , glutes are for me. Still marrying that with intent and strength

Some get away with doing anything and see glutes grow so imagine we put the effort on form, with intensity and strength on all lifts the progress we’d see

So even if glutes grow well for you yes keep your hips / spine neutral

Hey guys

Another nice drop today with my diet and nicely into the 65s, my body looks different to any time I’ve been at 65 the last few years as usually peds would be in at this point, but the look is still great, clear to see lower body development too which is what we’re gunning for

Off to see some clients at the TBJP gym today which is nice so things all prepped and ready to go

Usual morning of check ins, walking etc before I set off

Hey guys

In with glutes today.

This will be my last week training alone for a while

As Kuba’s training partner moves to Dubai I’m looking forward to training with him, I do think when you get to a certain size having a training partner will only be of benefit with adding all those plates to the machine, the recovery you need between set really as a big guy and to spot in those heavy sets – so looking forward to that!

Todays session will be

Glute kick back
Hip thrust
RDL
Split squat
Leg press
Seated lateral raises and calves

I’m not going to say you can’t build staying lean, as it’s possible but rate of gain or amount you gain in a build will always be limited if you don’t do a true offseason, a offseason does not need to be a phase where you get out of shape but you will carry some body fat to grow more efficiently. If you’re going for more a life style look
Like you have here you can always approach it that way but I won’t say it’ll be truly effective with gaining real size so it’s goal dependent as not everyone wasn’t to have that big offseason and build real mass

I like to go to around 90% of my loads at this time or even 85 and that has me hitting ranges and some days if I’m feeling great I may taper them up a little – it’s about muscle retention right now not building, obviously not training like a pussy but being smart with loads

Meg Sylvester IFBBPRO

[Meg]

I’m with Jordan at this point you’ll be pretty low body fat so trying to chase pbs will be silly.

So for the load a little to hit your range and that’ll be a great place for you to be for now whilst you’re getting leaner and leaner xxx
