Hey guys

Hope you’re good upper and cardio day for me

The goal isn’t for my upper to grow, but I love to train so kubas set my training up so I’m still in the gym even if it’s not the massive upper sessions I once did.

Today was my first cardio session since 2018 lol, it’s pretty hard. Haha, I liked it a lot, battle ropes 1 min on 1 min off 5 rounds 🙂 it started fast lol ended not so fast

This can happen, especially as you get leaner, if you’ve been dieting 17 weeks you must be pretty lean at this point? I’d say pull back to the 1 set and aim to get that weight back up and hold performance, happy dieting

Unfortunately after hammering your gut with over doing food quantities it can take time for it to heal

All you’re doing with food and supplements is great, you’re going to have to give it time to heal

Does any meal make the bowels worse? Or literally just all day?

I’d look to remove any volumising foods, caffeine and sweeteners for now just pure good quality foods let the gut heal with some time in this small deficit / maintenance then you’re going to need to be very steady as you change direction again

Thanks for this, that all makes sense. No one meal makes it worse no, just overall digestion is bad currently. But this is the start of a diet phase anyway so will be running a deficit for another 12 – 16 weeks, which is hopefully plenty of time for it to recover. Hadn’t thought about pulling caffiene back, will reduce that as much as possible going forward.

Thanks again 🙂

I would trial that just really take the stomach and the sources to basics, give it a nice clear out with your lower food volume, then as you taper up, taper up slowly with amount of foods

Hey guys

Hope you’re good!

Leg day for me today, my appetite really is starting to plummet, lol, it’s near on 30
Weeks in a surplus, yes not my highest cals ever, but potentially the longest I’ve gone without any type of pull back, may need to adjust things soon even if no real diet with my hormones not being totally ready yet as sitting and eating a meal for 30 mins is not the one

Session will be :
Leg curl x 3
Leg ext x 2
Leg press x 2
Hip thrust x 1
Calves x 3

She took 2nds 3rds and 4ths was good to see Kubas clients kill it too, his lady taking the overall in the bikini and classic guy in second, nice to meet them too

Off home today and hoping for a nice smooth journey home c

I would for sure keep on growing if the appetite is there! More mass can be added before a diet is thought about, if you’ve slowed down with gaining weight or seeing progress in the gym you can look to bump your calories for now

I’m with Jordan a bad week doesn’t need to turn into a bad forever. I lean on bodybuilding in tough times, it’s a consistent as it’s not going anywhere in a not very consistent world. Take a night to spend with your loved ones after what’s happened this week and aim to get tomorrow with the outlook of getting back after life and bodybuilding
