    Morning guys! Just about to get in my Uber to the airport home. Great weekend in Sweden with clients and the pro coach team, as well as seeing so many other UK athletes and other great people in the industry.

    Im tired I haven’t been to sleep as I was scared if not waking for my flight so I caught up on check ins from the weekend and Im up to date for Monday now! So all I need to do is sleep and do some work Monday get an early night and get straight back into my routine hopefully!

    Good evening from Sweden guys!

    So a double post really as didn’t post yesterday Friday, due to it being a crazy busy day!

    I travelled down to Gatwick from chesterfield at 3am yesterday morning which is approx 3 hours, i flew at (am and landed in Sweden at 1pm then uber for an hour to my hotel with Cal and Hannah. Dropped my bags off and went straight to the gym to meet my client Vetle for our last pump session and some posing rounds for me to have a look over him to peak for the show today. He was instantly more relaxed when i arrived which was so good to see, We did a steady 15 minute walk on the treadmill and then an upper session just filling the muscle with blood and to push some carbs around. We weren’t holding back on food or water approx 600g in for the day and 6 litres water 10g salt. He was under heavyweight AM weight at 101kg but approx 103 on the gym scales when i arrived. I wasn’t bothered about him making weight and affecting the look by holding food and water back as He is going to be a super. So the aim was to peak for the look not the weight.

    We must have nailed 10 rounds of posing and ate 1 more meal went to the registration and waited for a good 2 hours to weigh in 101kg so the posing rounds worked he was getting drier by the hour. So we pushed a little more fullness the last 2 meals.

    resulting in the best look to date this AM he went on to win the Novice class of 6 and take 2nd in open heavyweights to the overall winner so a very good day at the office!

    we planned the protocol for tomorrow which is for experience so we have pushed for fullness hard after the show and experimented a touch with the look.

    I came back to the hotel and did a few check ins then went for dinner with cal, zac, ross and Hannah had a great chat and a good laugh really enjoyed the weekend exactly what I needed. And has truly lit a fire for competing and coaching. So privileged to be able to travel and do what I do.

    The show in sweden is fantastic and im excited for another top day tomorrow I have athletes competing back in the UK too so i will be up early for peaking them too!

    Peace & Love

    Rest day today, a very busy day of client work today. With normal check ins and clients getting ready for shows over the weekend. A couple of new starters set up, also getting myself organised for Sweden tomorrow!

    Up at 2am to travel to the airport! Flight is 9am but 3 hours travel and 3 hours before the flight so I can be settled in the airport for an hour to do some check ins.

    Looking forward to the weekend in Sweden! The show will be awesome, and will be a great experience for my client and it’s all about experience as a coach peaking a client in person.

    I have another client competing back in the UK this weekend so he has been round for in person this evening so we have everything nailed down for the next few days!

    Peace & love

    I would always prefer cooking – it takes 2 mins to scramble them in pan or micro or even an omelette, then take with you in tupper-ware

    Cooking them as Hilly states improves nutrient absorption and digestion, and as megs states will eliminate the possibility of any salmonella it is very rare but It’s not having any sort of food poisoning.

    if its a time thing just blend whey isolate and a fat source, oils, nut butter etc

    you can 100% push a little more. Take it steady another 7-10 weeks if appetite doesn’t stall, digestion, recovery etc theres room for more here buddy 40lbs up in this push would be a great result

    How much activity are you doing? whats your body composition like? Its definitely time to do something as once this is an issue and digestion is shot. The push has ended. Anything on top of this is unproductive buddy

    Rest day today.

    In person client check in. Then we took arnie for a long walk round Gedling country park to see friends a good 90 mins he loved it! And found a little lake to swim in! So he needed another bath!

    Me and pheebs had a Sunday roast as our off plan which was very nice.

    Food has been upped today from cal. And GH has increased to 6iu daily

    New macros & cals are

    TD 6651 kcals
    Pro 452g
    Fat 87g
    Carb 1015g

    NTD 5194 kcals
    Pro 365g
    Fat 98g
    Carb 713g

    Test cyp 300mg
    Primo 150mg
    Proviron 25mg
    T4 100mcg
    GH 6iu split 2/2/2
    Lantus 20iu
    NR 5/5iu

    Bloods done Thursday and then we will start ramping up the drugs. I’ve never gone over 2g total AAS and I’m holding 335lb comfortably with 450mg total.

    First time I’ve gone over 4iu GH and I’ve never ran more than 5iu pre and post Novarpaid. So I would hope there some runway for growth over the next 20 weeks.

    Food is going down but when your eating 1000g carbs daily it’s never easy so I’m not gonna say it is. I just see it as my job. I don’t want to do it. I just do it.

    So on we push. The quest for some more
    Muscle is still on.

    Peace & love

    Great session and really enjoying the mix of volume and intensity techniques within these session. Feel very full from these sessions. Im still log booking and trying to beat my main lifts. But just getting in the gym and enjoying everything. Hernia seems to be about 95% now in terms of bracing, 7 weeks tomorrow since the op and 7th week on my cruise with bloodwork booked next week. Then we shall start ramping things up a notch. session went as follows:-

    SA reverse bench pulldowns 3 x 12 L/Rwide mag pulldown 1 x TDSSA hammer iso lateral row 1 x TDSclose low pulley row 1 x TDSblock pulls 2 x 10chest supported upper back row 3 x 12rear delt fly superset 3 x 15 each

    all exercises had 1-3 feeders to find working weight all TDS were taken to failure on each point, the straight sets were taken to that rep range within 1-2 reps of failure with 60 to 90 seconds rest

    Peace & love
