Today was travel day to Alicante for the Europa pro! We have had a very long day. So it’s time to get our head down. And cruise into to Fridays show.

Pheebs will do a light pump session tomorrow and then we will go and register. I have legs so whilst pheebs chills I will go and have some me time.

Had some very sad news today my grandad passed away at 93. He’s had a fantastic innings and he was a wonderful man. I’m gutted. But all focus on pheebs for this weekend!!

Today was push! Another very successful session up on all movements in this De volume week.

I got up did my cardio my client check ins and pheebs then set her food for the day.

We have given her an extra calories dense meal today as she just burnt through her carbs today training and pre meal 6 was a touch flat she was 2lbs lighter than the same point yesterday and knowing we could push fullness a little more as we will be going pro fats tomorrow for first 3 meals due to flying.

So went with a double cheese burger and fries from McDonald’s and half a cookie.

This will hold her nicely until tomorrow evening where we can just drip feed the carbs back in and hold.

I have also been for my bloodiest at Eval today. Which I will post when I get the results

As long as you hit your daily target it will all contribute to your daily output. How you split this is up to you. I like to split my steps up into short bursts no longer than 20-25 mins at a time.

But for fat burning I prefer cardio at an elevated HR for a set period of time.

I like to keep my protein a touch higher especially with trained individuals. 1.5g per lb of bodyweight would be a good start.

Some high level coaches still have protein 2g + per lb of body weight. This still is individually based and what you can digest easily.

I have to agree with max here if you were taking the AI for side affect control and you keep everything the same you will notice a difference in that sense.I

f you are coming off the back of a cycle into a recovery phase and your managing your food/cardio/supplementation and assessing bloodwork there should not be a massive rebound.

If it was to manipulate a look leading into stage your going to be coming out of this phase regardless so body-fat, water will start to come back on naturally anyway. If overly concerned run bloods in close proximity

Very busy day today as per usual!

cardio at 5:30am followed by sports massage at 7am

Then I went up to train with 2 clients in Gainsborough and had a little team meet and vlogged our burger date. Meat castles a mobile burger van with some awesome burgers. Went in a little with 3 triple burgers and some fries. My favourite i think was the lotus biscoff burger it strangely worked.

I will upload some pics from pre burger feast!

2 clients competing today – 1 took 2 british titles at the UKUP british, 1 took 4th at the Natural European championships. Another successful weekend.

Set ups tomorrow and a few exciting names to add to the team! 2023 will be bigger and better!

Chest & back at warehouse gym today. What a great session and got to use a couple of really nice bits of kit. Strength is picking up nicely can see that this first push will be pretty successful.

Appetite is still very high and I’m responsive but not trying to push just allowing the body to go its thing. I’m not holding back but not getting carried away.

Sports massage in the morning then arms and delts and going for burgers with the boys! Which I will vlog for YouTube!

I fully agree with both of the comments above.

Your current diet needs some tweaks as suggested.

And the refers is pretty mindless bud. And you are currently not lean enough to be accepting that amount of food IMO one this will potentially ruin your digestion, and your going to spend the next week just pulling everything off.

I would take the advice above on board and just re look at the set up slightly bud.

It’s all a learning process

Legs went downnnnnnn!

wow…..ruined! Defo ready for De volume week next week. Took big progressions in weight and reps this week across the board.

Very happy with execution and how my joints are holding up. The de volume will freshen me up nicely to go again! I time to start my push!

Took a few new clients in this week so a busy week and weekend of set ups coming up.

As well as managing 3 clients into shows and making sure pheebs moves into peak week on point. She is looking very very sharp and bringing something we are both very happy with.

Rest day today but a very busy one behind the laptop. Some content done for YouTube along with new clients set ups and check ins!

Cardio and steps boxed off as always and a few errands ran. Pheebs is in the trenches for a few more days so trying to help as much as possible and not be a hinderance.

She will be bringing her best package to date and one she’s happy with. then its in the judges hands!

Legs again tomorrow last week at full volume it’s come around fast. That nervous excited feeling already creeping in as i know what I’ve got to beat!
