I agree with the above!! If you are looking to gain muscle then keep cardio away from training and maybe either have it fasted on training days or maybe solely keep cardio to your rest days!! X

Omg 8 weeks will fly by !! Super excited for you ????
What numbers are you looking to hit on deadlifts tomorrow ?!? Xx[/quote]
Thank you girl!! Can’t believe it’s coming around so soon!

So number focus for deadlifts each session I aim for my 180kg just as a mental goal for strength if that makes sense! I can hit 180kg but rep range changes from week to week! So if I’m struggling to hit reps I’ll drop to 170kg x

As long as your heart rate is up/ the same and calorie output is the same then it doesn’t matter which type you do x

I agree with above, if you are in a gaining phase and need to get cals in then this can be an option but I wouldn’t interfere too much with sleep x

Good morning everyone!! So feeling better for having a rest day yesterday!! Doms is easing and feeling ready for a pull session today!! Starting the day with 20 minutes cardio this morning which is scheduled for upper body sessions, zero cardio on leg days and then 30 mins fasted on rest day!

What’s everyone up to today?? Xx

Hey!

I agree with Stefan here! Can depend on more factors!

Making sure that legs are well recovered and making sure that the running isn’t hindering recovery! Also a factor is pressure on the knees when running! But managing time and frequency should be fine ????

You’re looking absolutely insane Rhea ???? did your strength suffer at this time out in previous preps?

Hey Katie!

No not really, my strength usually remains well however sometimes I struggle with mental blocks on movements which is what I used to get as a diver when going for a dive which is really weird! But the past two sessions I’ve managed to break the cycle and push hard in my sessions ????✨

Hey Aaron!

I agree with the guys above!! I would integrate some cardio first rather than start by cutting cals as they seem a little low x

Let us know how you get on x

Good morning everyone!! So check in done ✅ weight is down as I thought from yesterday finally into the 62kg bracket ???? rest day for me also today I’m absolutely battered with doms today ????

Awesome leg day today!! 10x 3pps on the hack which I’m happy about!! And felt every exercise rather than just in my lower back!! Slowed down my tempo and got my head really into the muscle and focussed!! Feeling positive after today!! Check in day tomorrow with the bosses!! I tend to weigh myself every day out of habit just to see where I’m at (I probably shouldn’t as I’m easily obsessed) but I weighed just now before bed and I’m up just .5kg from this morning so hopefully we will see some good movement tomorrow morning xxx
