Hi Nick – IMO it’s whatever sits best for you post workout. We may use a protein shake as its quick and easy to get in, but personally I haven’t used a shake post workout in years, I only use whey powder in oats or cream of rice at another point in the day, I currently use egg whites post workout for my protein source. So what you find sits the best use that! 🙂

Saturday done and dusted! An incredible posterior session this morning , touched 8 plates a side on the squat press today which was MEGA, so very happy there! Came home to a consult , a couple of check ins and then just a day of setting up a little more of my coaching rebrand – which is coming soon! I have a client competing tomorrow and she looks absolutely brilliant – this is her best look we’ve ever achieved so I’m beyond happy with her and how she’s approached this season. Tomorrow is a rest day – so just going to catch up on life and do a little more admin!

Thursday done and dusted! Pull complete this morning, was a steady session a little slow in regards to progression but thats okay! These things happen! Had a little shift at the warehouse today then an awesome shoot with the new clothing drop thats coming very soon – you guys are going to LOVE this new drop! So keep your eyes peeled for this one! Had a busy evening with calls to clients – I have a very exciting couple of weeks coming up and I cannot wait to have everyone see it! Tomorrow is Push before another busy day!

Things happen and sometimes life throws curve balls at us from time to time. But as Meg said we all feel that general meh feeling when we have to rest/deload but if there is a way around not missing a session we try and do just that . But don’t allow that anxiety to consume you, like I said things happen that are out of our control which can lead to a session being missed. Just pick yourself up and go into the next session as normal.

I’ve always used a Fitbit and I’ve never had issues – reasonably cheap too so if you need to save some pennies and can’t afford a super expensive fancy one – then a Fitbit will tick the boxes 🙂

Evening everyone! Legs completed this morning – was a good session, knees were a little twingy on the pendulum but with a few extra warm ups , it seemed to subside slightly – so was a little better! Pretty steady progression through everything which is good ! Able to do some light calves now which is good – hoping to load calf raises fully soon ! Pull in the morning and then a shoot with the team in the afternoon which will be mega!

Rest day today! Is very chilled morning with client check ins and then a catch up with Tom on a lovely dog walk, which was very much needed! In for legs nice and early before going to see some friends, have a massage then see a potential new car because my poor little beast is about to turn into dust so I’m having to bite the bullet and look at a new one! So thats my day tomorrow, looking forward to legs though!!

I suppose its also what you want to get from the piece of kit – I load it more on the top pin then any other because I want to really load that lengthened range , but if you’ve never used it before I would start as JP has mentioned and do 50:50 moving into 60:40

Upper today! Finally got the incline smith press moving again after a little stagnation for a couple of weeks with it – felt much more solid within the movement today compared to previous sessions over the past couple of weeks! So pretty chuffed here! Rest day tomorrow , so client check ins in the AM and a dog walk in the afternoon which should be lovely!

Good evening! I hope everyone is having a good day!
Posterior completed and done today – so saw really good numbers being hit today , so I’m super happy here. Checked in with cal today, who is very happy with how things are going – I’ve been on 4mg femtest a week since finishing my cycle which was roughly 2 weeks ago – bloods will be done early July to see where we’re at before going in for one last push. Little bump in rest day food today taking my rest day cals from 2570 to 2673 no changes to training day cals. Foot is much better aswell, was able to get some calves work in which is a good step forward (no pun intended) so we’re in a good spot there! We just have to keep moving forward and doing the do here!

I like to hit the biceps from a majority of positions – I would have a preacher variation, an variation where the lengthen position of then bicep is really challenged like a incline DB curl and a hammer curl. That way you know you’re hitting every aspect of the bicep.

I’m 100% behind Kamara on this one – do what you enjoy and what works for you!The PPL or UL allows for more frequency. I’ve found a higher frequency , low volume approach to be very effective (personally and for clients) when it comes to bringing up a lagging muscle group. Hitting a muscle group multiple times a week can be done easily with PPL or UL.

Good evening squad! I hope you’re all well! Very busy weekend so far with clients and travelling and all the standard stuff that comes with the show season! My lovely natural figure client came 3rd today in her show and I honestly couldn’t be more proud of her, so very happy in this regards. We have 3 weeks until her next show, so we’re aiming to bring it in tighter and better next time! So I’m excited for whats to come there! Rest day today and in for posterior tomorrow morning, always love a Sunday session!

An important question here to address is whether there are elements of day to day life that are causing you to feel this way. How is stress? How is sleep? How’s your work/life balance? Do you feel you can switch off, or do you constantly feel in a state of burn out? There are so many variables that can lead to a low mood/poor mental health, so I would defiantly look into every variable that could be causing you to feel this way. As I agree with Jordan , I think coming off fully would make you feel worse.
