Rest day today! Just a shift at the warehouse and home to client check ins! Not a crazy day at all!

Hi mikolaj
Much like other athletes have mentioned – I would always advise seeing a specialist when an injury pops up – What I do want to ask however is, did it just start hurting one day or was there a mechanism of injury? i.e did it pop when squatting or doing another movement? Let us know as we might be able to guide you a little more.

Another good session in the bag today ! Pull went like this
Lat pulldown x 2
Prime chest supported row x 2
Cable single arm row x 2
Single arm pulldown x2
CS prime mid back row x 2
Cable bicep curl x 2
Cable rear delt fly x2
Followed by some posing and a massage! Progression all round – cal very happy with check in and no changes to be made going forward – we continue on!

Don’t feel like you have to stick to one rep range. Explore other ranges and get as strong as you can across the board. For example some of my movements in the gym have a rep range where the first set is 6-10 reps and the second set is 10-15. In my opinion approaching training with the plan to get strong across all rep ranges is what will bring the most progress, so I would deffo considering applying this to your training.

Good evening team! another rest day done and dusted – today was a hella busy day with both jobs but every day I sit back and appreciate what I have and what I’m able to do. Very thankful for everyone in my life and the opportunities that come around. I have pull in the morning, followed by a massage and into work! Excited to get the headphones on and lock out the world in the morning it’s crazy how much training can help the headspace!

I use rest pauses from time to time purely because they’re quite fun! It’s not often I do them due to (as rich mentioned) recovery reasons but I will throw them in sometimes!

Another Monday completed! Very happy with the leg session this morning – being able to fully lock into these now – especially as everything is feeling as good as it is! session looks like this currently
Seated calves x 2
Adductor x 2
Seated hamstring x 2
Glutinator x 2
Smith hip thrust x 2
Pendulum x 2
Leg extension x 2
Perfect amount of volume for me here and the movements are bang on too! Very happy indeed!

Hey! I’m the same as Kerry and Marc here – I just remove two meals and replace with an off plan once a week 🙂

When I’ve pinned my lat I’ve leant against the wall with my arm above my head and just allowed it to relax against the wall – found that to be the easiest way.

happy easter everyone! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend! Today was a rest day after moving my upper session from today to do yesterday – so today has been a day of catching up and getting new starters ready for the week! I have legs in the morning which I’m very excited for – so should be good!

Woke up and posterior was on the cards!! Very happy with everything in that session , every thing felt bang on and exactly as it should be! Tomorrow is supposed to be a rest day but I’ve moved upper forward by a day due to social commitments – so already excited to get in the gym! 👌

I take it alongside my higher carbohydrate days – as stated by other athletes 1 cap per 50g is ideal! 🙂

Push today and another steady session in the bag! Really feel like I’m getting the most out of my pressing at the moment, really focusing on pausing in the stretch and then driving up from that deep point – can definitely feel a difference in engagement from this! Out for my offplan meal with the partner tonight which I’m looking forward too!

A lot of people seem to think that muscle growth happens in a short time frame – this isn’t the case – muscle growth takes years of consistency with meals, sessions and recovery. Be patient and focusing on executing the plan daily and growth will come your way 🙂
