Good evening team! I hope everyone is good! Posterior done and dusted this morning, was a good session however I did wake up today with a horrendous stomach – so some of the movements were a little risky (if you know what I mean aha!) and bracing was a little difficult on some exercises , but all things considered things still progressed well so I’m happy! Rest day tomorrow with a few personal errands to run then home ready for the weekend!

I personally have never used aldactone, I’ve only ever used diazide, but like Andy said IF you HAVE to use one I would go with small amounts of diazide over aldactone for the reasons mentioned above.

Good push session in the bag today ! Happy with numbers and how everything felt! Posterior early morning tomorrow which should be MEGA! Excited for it as always!

As Jord said – if you still progressed then keep ticking along – no need to overthink things. Obviously be aware of how you’re feeling and if the DOMS are debilitating then probably a good idea to not train but as you’ve mentioned everything progressed – so continue on!

Rest day today !! nothing tooooo crazy going on today apart from the usual work and warehouse shift! Feeling very tired today but it’s purely because output has been very high over the past couple days – 30k steps Monday , 24k steps today – so it’s already been a busy ol week ! hunger has been through the roof , even since cal increased food on Sunday – so we shall see what comes of check in tomorrow and go from there! Push in the morning followed by a massage and another shift at the warehouse! onwards we go!

I would take it with a meal and see if it has the same effect. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of this happening but try the above and let us know!

Busy Monday to start the week! Pull this morning followed by warehouse and client check ins this evening – therapy today was a tough session but very much needed . Happy with how things are moving – just taking it one day at a time!

much like the other athletes – I weigh out my salt in the morning and spread evenly through the day. I don’t count salt from food sources themselves, just the salt I add 🙂

This is a very open question – much like Kerry asked – whats your exercise selection? how are you setting out your exercises in these sessions? what are other variables like? how’s your diet? how’s recovery? These are all things that need to be mentioned before we can really give a definitive answer as to why you may not be progressing. Let us know about the above , then we can give the appropriate guidance 🙂

Evening team!! Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend! Yesterday I had a brilliant leg session! Probably up there with one of the best ever! Progression on every movement and mindset locked in! Very sore today , so just spent the day in the sun sorting out my garden and spending time with my partner before a busy week next week!!

Hi Brayden – in this situation I personally would utilise an arm day , especially if you’ve struggled to grow them for the time length you’ve mentioned . Looking through this, you have 4 sets for triceps and 4 sets for pushdowns – if this is a volume you have used before and you’re still not seeing progress then something needs to change. Before addressing volume and frequency amounts I would first of all ask yourself – how is your form during these movements – how do you connect with these movements – are you actually utilising the muscle intended to move the weight – these are things that might need to be addressed if you’re not seeing much progress. Regarding exercise selection , you’ve opted for 2 preacher curl variations – I would personally use a preacher curl (which isolates the short head) and then follow with an exercise that favours the long head of the biceps, something like an incline cable curl where your lying back slightly – this will ensure you’re focusing on all areas of the biceps, always focus on hitting the area from differing angles . Much like the triceps work here aswell – I would typically opt for a 1 rope pushdown and a dip or close grip bench press just because each can bring a different element to tricep growth. I hope this has helped!

Evening team! hope everyone is well! Busy day for me today (as usual!) early upper session this morning went down , seeing progression all over the session which is mega! Remainder of the day was spent doing one to one calls with clients and doing some consult calls to do some learning myself which I’m very focused on doing at the moment ! So overall a good day in the books – legs in the morning which I’m excited for – so should be a good one!
-
Close grip bench for general tricep growth is THE BEST. This was my go to tricep movement for ages and can honestly say its helped grow some triceps!
-
Another rest day done and dusted in the books! Nothing too crazy to report tbh! Just work in the morning and work in the evening (with some pooch cuddles in-between!) in for upper in the morning and I honestly cannot wait! its gonna be a good one!

Deffo agree with the above comments – I’ve started using insure with my meals and honestly feel like It makes a difference. So its worth implementing In my opinion.
