Hey bud was the high day exactly the same as the previous? In terms of carb intake and fat intake? was your baseline weight its lowest or was it comparable to the last high day?
Theres plenty of variables to consider here bud, was this this off the back of a heavy session? Has there been a build up of fatigue?
Just monitor how weight drops off over the next couple of days and assess from there but theres probably an explanation here bud

So it’s been a hectic week. Coaching is going very well, Im adjusting to managing my own bodybuilding and client workload fine now. I did stress myself a little when things got busy, but Im in the swing of things now.

SA cable row x 2
BB row x 2
Upperback low to high row x 2
rear delt pulldown x 2
rear delt fly x 3
SA preacher x 3
SA high curl x 3Weight was 334lbs this AM 10lbs down from my heaviest but a few days on lower cals no GH & slin saw a drop. I would gauge 5-6lbs back on this week!
The weekend fired me up….Need to make every session count and every meal count to keep things progressing and just keep enjoying what I am doing!

Morning guys from Benidorm and the big weekend
Feeling loads better today must be the weather. But seriously after being sick on Wednesday I was very worried that revelling was going to be a nightmare. And my stomach wasn’t feeling too good when I woke so I fasted until I fancied something which was just a tuna sandwich at the airport in Spain. Which was actually really good very fresh from a deli and a muffin.
Then when we got to the air b & b we went and got all the meats and rice and fruit as normal.
Had 2 meals before bed. Turkey & rice with some fruit and oats and why iso dark choc and some fruit.
Checked in with Lewis this morning who’s looking on the money and under the cap. Went for a walk with jimmy then it was back for more check ins and breakfast which I had eggs and bagels some fruit and a yoghurt
Will get another meal in and then go and train and out Lew through last session at titan fitness Alicante
Then time to chill and get work boxed off for the evening

Evening guys…..
Early night for me. Can’t catch a break. Went for my morning walk this AM got to the end of the road and was sick 🤢 3 times just fluid as I was fasted just 1 litre of water
I finished my steps showered and ate my next 2 meals felt abit Ropey but had a really good pull session.
Ate my post workout and did some work. Ate meal 4 which was tough and sat on the sofa for a while. I had to rush to the back door and projectile vomited 3 times
So it looks like I’ve either had something over the weekend or got something but not great so bed for me

Hey buddy
I have recently had my umbilical hernia repaired and it was a very smooth recovery process.
Post surgery the first few days are a little sore and movement is limited but use pain as your guide to what you can and can’t do. I only used about 4 lots of paracetamol in the first 48 hours post surgery then I was fine to use the moderate pain as a tool to what I could do.
I was walking round the block in 3-4 days and doing cardio at 5-7 days
I trained arms and delts after 14 days
I was back in the gym after 3 weeks picking exercises that I didn’t have to either stretch or brace hard against.
I progressed intensity and exercise selection over the next 6 weeks from week 8-10 I was back at 95-100% buddy
Check my log for my healing protocol guide too

Evening guys rest again for me today. As I still felt pretty fatigued, as the day went on I felt loads better today! So back to it tomorrow.
Feel like I’m driving fatigue high quite quick at the minute so will discuss with cal in next check in.
It’s just the current phase of operating here at this weight!
Had a productive day of work with some new clients coming on board which is very exciting!

This is doable 100% but it’s also very person dependant. Based on there mental strength, how experienced they are in terms of dieting, and you explaining that post show is going to be very important and will have to be managed very closely.
Obviously not an ideal prep but if the client wants to get it done you will just have to manage expectations.
I came down from heaviest off season BW to my most depleted around 60lbs in 14 weeks. And I was still pretty fresh and managed things well post show. So it can be done.

Evening guys!
So yesterday was a full day at a wedding. I got 2 meals in before I got to the wedding, took a shake and a meal with me and had the wedding food.
I have rest d today because I’m absolutely smashed. I think my social battery took and absolute hammering.
Anything outside of my normal bodybuilding schedule writes me off. So even though it was a fantastic day (except the rain) and the wedding was outside in a tipi, talking to drunken people for hours literally ruined me!
I don’t know if it was a build up of fatigue or I’m a little under the weather but I felt like trash today!
So full days rest a couple Of naps and see how I feel tomorrow
