Hey Jack – Personally from looking at your photos I would carry on steadily bulking. If the need to diet isn’t there and you feel good while performance in the gym is still progressing and composition is good (which I would say it is) then keep pushing. Yes, we look at body weight as a variable to track but visuals are key here. You might get to 105kg and still have a relatively good composition, so make decisions based off of that. Just because it’s over the 101kg mark doesn’t mean you suddenly have to start dieting. Just keep doing what you’re doing and progress will continue to come 🙂

A pretty standard day for me today! Massage this morning and then client check ins this afternoon! I am running a short 3 day deload as decided between me and Cal , which is timed well as I’m away this weekend doing a paranormal investigation, so I’m looking forward to that! First day of the new diet , which is gooood! 🙂 onwards we go!

Happy Thursday everyone! Hope you’re all well! So 15.5 weeks out from the first show of the season today and it marks the first changes of prep. Prior to this, I was just sitting in a maintenance phase, removing anabolics and any off plans. During this time , I’ve gone from 86kg to around 84.9kg , so a little drop off which is normal when coming away from cycle.
Changes to see food dropping off – TD calories have gone from 3777 to 3391 and NTD have gone from 3586 to 3295, so this should push a good shift in this first phase. No other additions, steps or cardio added. Bloods are to be done in the next couple weeks with a blood let, previous bloods showed hematocrit to be a little on the high side , not out of range but high, so better to air on the side of caution and get it done.
Very VERY ready for this season and feeling confident! So let’s get this prep under way !

Agree with Hilly here. 90 mins pre training is how I’ve taken Anavar before and then if you’re taking it on a rest day, just take upon waking.

Legs today! Very happy with today and how the session went ! Things are still creeping up which is good! Recovery has taken a little longer this week though, so will discuss with Cal what he wants to do going forward regarding potential deload before we fully dive into prep. Tomorrow is a rest day, I have posing scheduled for 10am which I’m looking forward too!

Good evening everyone! Hope you’ve all had a good day! It’s been a busy one but good! Training was a little hit and miss this morning due to being so sore still from the weekend, so I still did the session but just moved some blood around and did some stretching – hoping the DOMS subside soon! Tomorrow is legs so should be a good one! In the warehouse as per usual and then client work in the evening!

Hi Mehdi – Can you provide us with some pictures of your current physique, where you calories are, what your output it etc. We need to know the entire picture before advising on PEDS.

Rest day today and my lord is it needed! Very very sore today, so today has very much been about getting my steps done and prepping for the week! All of which have been done already, so it’ll be an afternoon of the Winter Olympics and chill! In tomorrow for upper , the warehouse and client work! Standard Monday!

Hello all! I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend! Today I travelling up to Birmingham to train with Martyn Ford, which was bloody brilliant! It was very much one of those sessions, where you just go until you can’t go anymore aha! Lots of volume, lots of intensifiers and just lots of everything! Sessions like that, where you forget the logbook and just go and create memories (while also getting the work done!) are just the best. It’s a reminder as to why we got into this in the first place! I must admit though I am VERY sore now! Thank god for the rest day tomorrow! Nothing but a chilled day on the sofa tomorrow I think!

What do you do for work? Are you in manual labour? or are you at a desk typing all day? Repetitive tasks that are done outside of the gym could be contributing to what you’re feeling.

100% agree with what other athletes have said here! I used to do my own made high calorie shakes when I was powerlifting in uni because they’re far cheaper, and are 100% whole foods. Some of these mass shakes now a days are filled with sugars/ other crap. So you’re better off making your own!

Another Thursday done and dusted ! Busy day! I had a catch up with my accountant today then had therapy in the afternoon, which is always a good way to free the mind up a little! I’ve been working with James Elliot for a while now and I cannot recommend him enough, hes brilliant! Tomorrow I have a massage in the AM then posterior and then an evening of DnD with some friends so should be a good day!

I think a huge thing for you right now my lovely, is to ensure you’re enjoying what you’re doing and to not over complicate things! Too many people now a days , do too much , get confused and then end up hating the process. Pick something that you’ll enjoy, get really good at it and then do it over and over again, thats how you’ll make the best progress. When I started I did the most bro split ever, I made sure I benched , deadlifted and squatted through the week because I loved doing that! The more you enjoy the process, the more you’ll get out of it!

Good evening people! Hope you’ve all had a good day! Today was a steady day! Had a catch up with a posing coach this morning to solidify a posing slot for the next 16 weeks! I also had a call with someone to help design a landing page for the buisness , so all in all a good day! Pull was generally good, as mentioned previously I haven’t been feeling 100% and must admit felt it today but pushed on, so this evening I’m having a hot cup of lemsip then off to bed! Rest day tomorrow with another couple of calls dotted around and just fully sending the client check ins and content work! should be a good day!

To follow on from Adam I would recommend getting some deep tissue work on the area. A contributing factor to any tendon issue can be tight musculature around the area , causing activation patterns to change, placing unnecessary tension on other areas resulting in a tendon overuse issue aka a tendonopathy or Tendonitis.
