Lovely rest day today. Had breakfast with Jess (got our plans to match for first meal on rest days so both have salmon and eggs first thing. Nice to eat the same meal together. Went for a 2 hour walk around Wimbledon common. Nice to see everyone out on a Sunday getting some exercise. Came back to the flat for some food and then headed out for a coffee. Back to the flat after that for some work and then chilled and watched Messiah. Got the train home earlier this evening and all set ready for a busy week. Be prepared or prepare to fail !!

Frontline seems to be a popular choice for those in central. Flex and Tone is meant to be decent too but not sure how accessible it is from central.

Good Delts and arms session this morning. Decided to drop the weight slightly with smith shoulder press and incline machine press and exaggerate the eccentric element of the movement. Result was less imbalance when pressing (left vs right side), less pain and better pump. Think the key to dealing with the pressing issue is to leave the ego at the door, accept that progressive overload can be applied but at a much slower rate and for the emphasis to be more on feel and contraction. For me this will help build more muscle.
Spent the rest of the day doing a bit of work and eating. Started watching Messiah on Netflix, defo worth a watch.

You may have maxed out that particular exercise in this run. Switch it for something else and then revisit it when you’ve maxed that out.

Rest day today. No changes following yesterday check in. Just another week with everything bang on.
When you look at Bodybuilding it really is so simple. Commit, be consistent and work hard. The results will come, they have to.
Training at Kings Gym tomorrow as down in London for the weekend.

Back and hamstrings today.
Good session. All lifts progressed.
Check in day too. Weight up from 235.2 to 243.2. Big jump but that’s all down to all meals being eaten and back training solid for the last week. Just shows you can have a set back or time away from the gym but as long as you come back fully commitment you soon get back where you need to be.

Don’t bother with it. I’m same as you. I’ve got an issue with left side and benching just causes pain. It’s back in programme now after a good year or so without it but same issue still so going to have to replace it.
Possibly try smith machine instead. Or if you absolutely want to bench add it later in the session with lighter load.www.trainedbyjpclothing.com - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Rest day. In the office nice and early, productive day. I won’t waste a second this year. Any distractions have been gotten rid of. Keeping life nice and simple.
Check in day tomorrow so hopefully back on track after the time off the gym through illness. Feeling good and strong again.www.trainedbyjpclothing.com - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Nah mate do whatever you enjoy. If the calories used are the same then it doesn’t matter which you do.

If you enjoy it and it’s making you healthy keep doing it. It’s burning calories So if staying in shape is what you want then running will support achieving this. 3 miles a couple of days a week is all good. Make sure you get the food in and recovery and you’ll be sound.

Good push session. Weight up on flat DB press. Having issues with pressing on left side as mentioned but fuck it, just get through the session whatever it takes. I accept I have to hold back on weight moved as left wrist is fucked from a bad break and nerve damage as a result so means it can’t support heavy weight when pressing. But I make the most of what I can do. Can make anything hard if you want.
Good day in the office taking on new clients. Feeling motivated for January.

Hey Tim,
Hope you’re having a good start to the new year mate.
Just asking here as I believe you work an office job, similar to myself. Some days I am busy in meetings and can’t get my meals in, which stresses me out a fair bit. It’s usually my pre-workout meal I’m in danger of missing, which is oats and whey, as I usually eat this just before leaving work and heading to the gym. I commute on the tube, so can’t eat this on the go.
Do you ever struggle with getting meals in? And do you have tips on how to minimize work-related stress, as I have noticed this is ruining my digestion up a bit (bloated after rushing this meal, not digested / absorbed properly by the time I get to the gym, etc.).
ThanksHey mate,
Yeah nice start to the year thank you. Hope you are too.
Firstly I would say don’t stress. Look at what the issue is and work a possible solution. So you say your meal is oats and whey. I would blend the oats and then add the whey and make it into a shake. Have that prepped for work each day so you can quickly neck it before going into a meeting or as soon as you come out. If this means you have your meal 2 hours before training that’s fine (have an Intra workout drink for the session).
With regards to work stress you need to look for ways to make everything else in life as chill as possible. Get good sleep, listen to relaxing music, read books, whatever it takes. You’ll always have work stresses but if you’re entering work very relaxed you’ll deal with these much better.

Legs and back yesterday morning. Good session and all lifts progressed which was nice to see. Going to have to look at my positioning when doing leg press now though as lower back got proper pumped and made the following exercises (pendulum squat and glute bridge) near impossible as lower back was wrecked. I’ll keep weight same on leg press and see if I can adjust position or if it was just a one off.
Back in the office after the xmas break and felt good to be back. Ready for a busy year again.

Rest day Sunday just spent it down in London. Had Sunday dinner as my off plan meal. Seems to be my go to meal off plan as sits best on stomach and don’t feel like shit after it.
