Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you’ve all had a good couple of days – its been a mad couple of days here with some late night and early sessions going on! Late night pull went down last night which was a good solid session, and then upper this morning before work. Admittedly felt pretty rough and beaten up this morning which did impact the session slightly but otherwise still got it done! I’ve started using unwind more often post session now and can absolutely feel the benefits of it moving from training into the post workout window as I do struggle to switch off post session – so these are wonderful for helping that. Tomorrow is a leg day so hoping after a chilled evening this evening and good sleep I’ll feel better in the morning.
Next week I will have a week away from training, as I always do pre prep, this is something I have done for the passed few years ready for the remaining year of prep. I am also at the point where recovery is little hindered and general ache and niggles aren’t subsiding (plus feel more run over by a truck then usual) I check in with tom for the last week of offseason and then prep starts on the 27th! which is super damn exciting! So onwards we go into the session tomorrow then let’s roll on 2025 season!

Agree with Claire here – Always keep an eye on digestion however as certain protein amounts can cause a little digestive distress.
-
Rest day today! A pretty hefty treatment session this morning which left me feeling pretty groggy but a steady stream of steps today has helped with moving some blood around. Other than that, a good day all around!!

Agree with Nathan here – Might just be an incorrect approach to the bracing itself or just general breathing through the set. A lot of people do forgot to breath when training , myself included in this, so it could be that thats causing the light headedness
-
Agree with Haider here – keep them in and it’ll help things tick along nicely, all other variables need to be bang on 🙂

Posterior done and dusted today! Very happy with how todays session went, was a little worried of my right quad going into it as felt a little twinge on the pendulum Saturday but it was all good, which was a boost in confidence so I’m happy with that! My posterior session looks like this
Lying hip flex 2 x 8-12
Single leg curl 2 x 8-12
Glute superset – abduction with smith thrust (abduction is 2 x 15-20 – glute thrust 2 x 8-12)
Leg press – 1 x 8-12 / 1 x 15-20
Hyperextension 2 x 8-12
Straight bar pullover – 2 x 8-12
T bar – 1 x 6-10 / 1 x 10-15
Pulldown – 2 x 8-12
A big old session but a bloody good one at that! Rest day tomorrow , with a massage in the morning then work in the afternoon at the warehouse – steady day but good day!

Agree with Kuba here – I would keep it in for body comp reasons !
-
Busy Monday today! but good day for sure!
Little Murphy pup got his jabs today so can finally get him outside to burn off some steam – which is going to be a blessing as hes a crazy little man at the moment ! So that is going to be a fun little side project!!
Push went super well this morning so that was a super good way to start the day ! Posterior tomorrow so we shall see how we go with that!

I would sip throughout the session as Claire states but would use a cyclic dextrin carbohydrate over maltodextrin – I love sustain, this sits well and doesn’t cause any digestive issues, as previously with maltodextrin its made me very bloated. So just be aware of that!
-
Rest day for me today guys! So nothing major to report just a steady day of chilling and getting ready for the week!
-
Favourite combo right now is the Caramel fudge performance protein with the Chocolate fudge CoR – that shit bangsssssss
-
Agree with Haider – I would book in to see a physio asap to ensure you don’t cause further injury to the area

Legs done today ! unfortunately my partner couldn’t come with me , which was a little blow as its been a longgg time I’ve trained legs without someone with me. I’ve always had a small mental block when it comes to training legs on my own but today went really well! I did have a slight twinge in my right hip on the pendulum however it’s feeling fine now so might have just been a little blip – So fingers crossed it wasn’t anything! Other than that everything felt really good and had a major pump throughout – so I’m super happy ! Rest day tomorrow and a day to chill to sort out the week ahead – busy week next week but a good one! onward we go!

Same with Kam here regarding PEDS but I’ve never taken injectables overseas , if I need to I would just have them sent beforehand , but I’ve never actually needed too. Everything else I’ve popped in my checked luggage in a pill pot, my bags have been searched every time I’ve been to the states and have had no issues

Pull done and dusted today ! Pretty steady session to be honest! Some numbers progressed some stayed the same, but I’m still super happy as mind to muscle connection with my back today was absolutely bang on (this is something I’ve really struggled with in previous years) so being able to hit each rep and truly connect with it is ace!
Tomorrow I’ve got an early session of legs with my partner then I’ll be spending the day with my family. Sounds a good day to me! Have a great weekend guys!
