Following on from Jordan here – it’s hugely individual dependent. I always used to preach high volume for legs bur since I switched my training to low volume, my legs have grown the most they ever have. Do what works for you, not what everyone else is doing.

Same as a lot of the other athletes here ! 1-2 times a night usually , which is super normal! 🙂 so I wouldn’t worry!

MemberDecember 20, 2024 at 9:24 pm in reply to: Weight has stalled – do I increase training day or rest day or both calories ?Agree with the above – I would deffo look at increasing RD fats and carbs. But also like Allison said , don’t just feel like you need to increase for the sake of increasing , if training etc are still progression and comp is good then leave as is and increase a little when things stall 🙂 always have a purpose as to why you’re doing things

Hello everyone!! I hope you’ve all had a good day! Busy one today for me working in the warehouse, couple of check ins and training – all of which went really well! 🙂 I was pretty unwell yesterday evening so was in bed early, but today I’m feeling much better which is blessing ! Aha!
Legs in the morning and check in with Tom – but another day of doing the do!

Rest day today! Chilled day with a massage to begin with! Been having a little more lower back pain recently so having my therapist work through it was bliss , so that’s set me up nicely for upper tomorrow 🙂
Also saw my godson tonight which was lovely – so a very wholesome evening!

Hey Peter
I can’t say I’ve ever heard of GH effecting sleep, and I’ve personally never had any issues myself.
When it comes to sleep there are so many variables that can cause sleep to be disrupted, stress, caffeine too close to bed, overstimulation prior to bed time (screen exposure etc). I know you mentioned there wasn’t anything done differently outside of the growth being added, but you did mentioned you’ve had issues with sleep before – what was it that triggered these? Is it possible that something caused this to happen again?

Posterior completed today – was a pretty hefty session tbh! Cal has added a little more quad exposure to training so we’ve added in a narrow stance legs press now, which felt really good! So numbers are set and I’m looking forward to running the numbers up on that! Rest day tomorrow which I’m looking forward to as feeling pretty beaten up, so massage in the morning then rest! Much needed!

I’ve done 2ml bad water previously, don’t know why it’s just what I’ve always done. But that being said I have , from time to time , done 1ml too for ease of drawing into the pin. As the other athletes have mentioned it doesn’t effect the dose 🙂

Agree with Nathan here
If your lifts are progressing , growth will come. Ensure you’re eating a solid diet, getting a good amount of sleep and killing it in the gym . No need to overcomplicate stuff!

What a day!! very very happy with todays push session, numbers are moving very nicely now and pressing generally feels bang on. Few little tweaks to my posterior session as myself, cal and tom want to add in a little more quad work, so one of my pulldown movements has been replaced with 45 degree leg press so I’ll pop that in tomorrow and see how things go! Very happy indeed!

Clen is normally in pretty early for me tbh. Much like hilly, around 14-16 weeks out is and when fat loss slows the dosage is adjusted accordingly

Another day in paradise ! Upper today went really well! Pretty much all saw progression across the board which is good! Finished off the day with some onboarding of clients and then rested up this evening! Onto another busy week ahead!

Agree with all of the above here – it’s not going to magically put you into a deep sleep, all other variables need to be in order to get the most out of the product.
Much like Phoebe , I find that my general deep sleep quality is much better which results in recovery being better also.
But as stated you’ve got to ensure everything else is covered before fully getting the most out of the product .

Pull today! Went pretty steady! Majority of numbers progressed today minus one – which I will absolutely take due to still feeling a little under the weather! Tomorrow upper session and some work in the evening!
