The strawberry cheesecake is still my number one tbh – that with some yoghurt – THE BEST

I personally like to have a litre of water prior to having a coffee but if you don’t it’s not the end of the world!

Rest day today! Massage this morning then working in the warehouse followed by clients – so busy but good day in the books! Tomorrow I train push which I’m very excited for tbh! then another day of doing the same stuff! Seeing a client tomorrow after work who’s 5 weeks out and she’s looking mega , so very excited to see how she’s looking in person!! Exciting times ahead!

Coconut water is mega in this situation here! And as Jordan mentioned a little salt and you’re good to go!

Hey!!! Another Tuesday done! pull session was a little flat this morning but that was purely down to my alarm not going off – so was very much rushed session ! It happens!! However movements all still hit well , couldn’t do the chest supported row just purely because of my toe (still not 100%) it’s feeling better this evening so hope that better very soon! But otherwise a solid session! Tomorrow is a rest day , and then we check in with cal tomorrow! Xx

Hey team! Hope everyone is good! Rest day for me today, so some work this morning then spent the evening with my god son and Tom, which was needed! Family time is everything! Up early for push in the morning, work in the warehouse and clients in the afternoon! Should be a good day!

Following on from Phoebe – what does your pressing look like? Do your knees come inwards ? Do you have a stability issue through the compound motions ? Knees coming inwards is an indication of glute weakness , and it seems what you’ve mentioned it could be correlated to issues with your glutes as you’ve not been hitting them. I would deffo get some glute work in your training if you’re currently not doing any .

Happy sunday crew! I hope everyone is having a good day! Legs was done and dusted today and it went very well despite the toe situation! All movements either matched or beat previous log numbers, I managed to work my way into the pendulum without too much pain, I wasn’t able to load it up , however I did 1 set lighter weight utilising a BRF (blood flow restriction ) approach which did the job – so I should be able to load the left foot properly very soon, but I was pleasantly surprised how well this session went! spent the rest of the day cleaning the house , I always like to do this on a sunday to start the week off strong, then write out my plan for the week before an offplan with my partner tonight – into Monday we go!!

Hey Tobias. Firstly sorry for your loss, losing a parent at that age is never easy. I lost my mum at that age also and one thing that bodybuilding has taught me is how far you can go physically and mentally, you’re waaaay stronger in both areas than you think. Use these deficits to keep you focused, give you a goal, give you a purpose. This deficit you’re in , will guide you to success/where you want your physique to be. Think about how you want to make your dad proud. I think of my mum every day and how she would want me to give it 100% instead of sitting and feeling sad. One thing that has helped me to understand my emotions is journalling, getting everything out of my head and on paper, so I would definitely look into this if you can.
When it comes to the food focus side of things, remember, food will always be there and much like Jordan said, the more you diet the more you understand/more you expect, things don’t feel so overwhelming. Keep your chin up and stay positive – you’ve got this.

People are just looking for a quick fix – you’ve just been answered by two of THE BEST coaches in the industry, listen and be open to learn . Do the same stuff, day in and day out for a long period of time, the more you learn, the more you’ll understand and get out of the process. You’re also on the best forum for this, you’ve got multiple IFBB pros who live and breath this lifestyle, learn from them. But remember it TAKES TIME.

What happens with it? Froth? Clumpy? Never had an issue with it myself , so might just need a little more shaking!

Evening team! Hope everyone is well! So another day done andddd I’ve broken my toe! I won’t go into detail as to how I did it but it’s bloody painful 😂 trained upper today and it did make it relatively hard, I’ve got legs tomorrow so it looks like compounds are out , and a pure focus on isolation work might be the way forward – I was bloody looking forward to burying myself on the pendulum tomorrow aswell! It is what it is, and it should heal quickly , but still frustrating! Regardless I’ll still give it everything I can anyway!

I wouldn’t say there’s a way to slow metabolism but if you’re struggling to get food in – what does your daily diet set up look like? There might be some swaps you could make to make putting weight on a little easier. Plus it also raises the question, some people think they’re eating enough, when in the grand scheme of things they’re not , so pop up your diet so we can see and guide you appropriately! 🙂

Rest day completed today ! Feeling much better today which is a blessing! I had a massage this morning, with an afternoon of client calls and a new client set up aswell which is awesome! Upper tomorrow morning which I’m looking forward to – then some posing with Amanda Winston which I’m very excited for as I adore Amanda ! so this should be good!

I think its good to keep it in for many reasons (body comp, digestion etc) I’ve always done 20 mins twice weekly and its enough to keep things ticking along
