    Just trained 3 times with weights this week anf put my carbs up to 350g on training days and 200g on off days and feeling so much better. Sleep recovery and mood are very much improved. Condition is still very good 3 weeks post show and gets even better the more rest my body gets.

    Cardio I’m still doing at least 30min every day.

    Had an amazing shoulder tri session today. Bodyweight is still 78kg which is 3kg up from the bonac classic 3 weeks ago. Was able to dumbell shoulder press the 46kg dumbells for 13. Couldn’t get the 50s into place for pressing but give me another 2 weeks and i should be able to handle them easily for reps again.

    Bend over dumbell side laterals
    Rear delt machine
    Dumbell shoulder press
    Handcuff side laterals
    Upright rows
    Side lateral machine
    Dumbell shrugs
    Triceps cable pushdowns
    Cable overhead extensions
    Reverse grip push downs

    Try barbell snatch grip shrugs with a 3 sec hold at the top. Maybe also upright rows with a close grip.

    I personally think the jm press is one of the best strength builders for triceps. It’s actually a powerlifting movement.

    Felt really beaten yesterday from the previous pull session. Had a great depp tissue maseage on my quads and hamstrings in the evening. Can’t wato hit legs again the next time. The pump after those therapies is always unbelievable. But today is push on the menu.

    If it feels better AND you are stronger stick with it. Do what works for you

    Yesterday i did rack pulls again since a very very long time. And i got such a pump in my lower back that i almost had to stop the session. Hate that post contest cramping in my lower back

    Rest day today for me. Just a little cardio and deep tissue massage later today. Need to force myself to rest more at the moment. I would love to train every day but that would be counterproductive. Trying to get down to 3-4 sessions of weight training a week which is really hard for me mentally because i love to workout.

    When one body part won’t grow like others it’s most of the time a lagging mind muscle connection and exercise execution. Maybe you have a good personal trainer in your gym who knows about biomechanics who can have a look over your execution

    Had a very poor night sleep yesterday so I’m glad it’s rest day today. Weight is up to 78kg after a lot of cheats over the weekend but still only 4kg heavier than at the bonac 2 weeks ago. Trying to get a littoe bit down again this week and get my bodyweight back up slowly

    Mix your own weight gain shake!

    Whole milk, oats, bananas, nut butter, a good protein powder and whatever else you like. It’s cheaper and better quality than most of the shakes you can buy

    Change nothing mate. Try to lift yiur offseason weights. When you change to pump training it will cost you a lot of size and volume

    Leg session today. Just wanted to catch a good pump and stay lighter in weight but felt really good today so i pushed it in the leg curls and hacksquat. Felt amazing but also very crushed afterwards. Strength coming back day by day.

    Seated calve raises
    Lying leg curls
    Reverse banded hacksquat
    Single leg extensions
    Sissy squats
    Adductors
