No way man. I was exactly same age when I started. It’s what you do with the time you have that will dictate what you achieve. I decided I wanted to be a successful competitive bodybuilder and committed to it. It won’t happen over night but it will happen over time if you put the work in day in day out.

Today would have been a scheduled rest day but as I’m off to Prague for a couple of day for Louis 30th I’ve Trained Delts and Arms today instead of tomorrow.
Session was a good one and all lifts progressed. Feeling strong and in a good place. A lot of size needs to be added but it’s off to a great start. Smith shoulder press was professed by weight today. Same with mid incline machine chest press. They were the main ‘heavy’ movements. All other exercises were progressed too.
Headed to Prague at 6 this evening and just got to the hotel. All meals are followed to plan and meals brought out with me. Easy to do if you’re prepared in advance. Can enjoy living life and exploring when doing bodybuilding in my opinion. Organise yourself and it’s all good. Its when you don’t plan ahead you’ll slip.

Right quad. Swelled up, bright red and hot to touch. Left it but got worse so had to go docs who gave flucloxacillin for a week which sorted it out. I think often it’s if you hit a nerve though you get a bad reaction and can cause inflammation. If you feel feverish though this can be sign of infection.

A few times. Sometimes no reaction but a couple times bit of a reaction but easily sorted. Certain sites are a bit of a no go for me though as seem to cause more agg than others so I’ll avoid.www.trainedbyjpclothing.com - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

If it’s dropping rapidly your performance in the gym won’t be hindered straight away but certainly will do very soon. With steps averaging 28000 I would cut the 30 mins cardio OR reduce workout volume OR increase food. Any of these should slow the weight loss. But this obviously depends on the amount you need to cut.

Check in today.
Bodyweight – 232.8 lbs (up from 229.4 lbs last week)
Changes – none.
No changes needed as weight has increased, strength is up, mood and energy are good. Everything is moving in right direction so we aim for another week like this. There is no point forcing more food when there has been a good increase and everything is on the up. Repeat the week and see if more is gained. If not, then changes can be made.
Bloods will be done in the next week and see how they come back. If all good then we can crack on with next cycle. Health first though.
Today’s session was a good one. Pull and hamstrings rotation 2. Eccentric deadlifts were the big movement today. 3 sec eccentric, drive up and tie quads in, then back down with the eccentric and no re-setting at the bottom, continuous movement. This is taxing but so so good. First set was 9-10 reps which I managed 180kg for 9. Next was 6-8 reps, I pushed for 220kg which was greedy and only managed 3. I will keep it here though as I really think I can hit 6 next time round if keeping first set at 180kg. Final set was 15-20 reps which I dropped back to 100kg and really worked it hard.
Feeling strong, feeling focussed, feeling offseason ????

Id feel it’s like with knee wraps vs knee sleeves. If you feel more comfortable with one than the other then do what feels best to you. If you are progressing and keeping injury free then continue as you are. I’ve tried with and without a belt and certain movements I feel I can go beltless whereas others I need a belt as feel more protected. Maybe this is psychological but I believe if your mind is worrying about your back because of not having a belt then you won’t be focussing on the lift.

Rest day today so up nice and early to get into the office. I try to take advantage of the extra few hours on rest days so I can then free up some time in the afternoon and evening to chill and see friends. So today I worked until 5 then headed off to see my godson and his parents. Can be hectic during prep and tend to miss out on times like this so important to do it now things are more relaxed.
Tomorrow is check in day and Pull and hamstrings rotation 2. Up for it!!

Another good session in the bag this morning. Chest and arms rotation 2. Session as follows :
– flat DB press 1×9-10 1×6-8
– low incline smith press 1×7-9 1×11-12
– pec dec rest pause
– side raise machine 2×10-12
– Reverse pec dec 2×10-12
– single arm cable pushdown 1×20
– single arm cable curl 2×8-10
– dual arm seated DB curl 1×15
– rope crunch 3×10-12All lifts progressed by weight or reps. Will not let this offseason go to waste, every opportunity will be taken to progress and grow. Chest and arms (along with back thickness) has to improve so giving the body no other choice but to adapt and grow.

If you’ve had issues with the tendon then I’d opt for higher rep range with a lighter weight initially. Can try things like rest pause sets, widow maker sets etc too. Just make sure you’re warming up well before, getting plenty of blood pushed around, stretches between exercises and after workouts could help too.
Slowly build the weight back up. But stop and reduce initially if you feel the same issues as you don’t want to be back to square 1.

Back at it this morning starting the week right !! Legs and back rotation 2 before work. Exercises as follows:
– seated ham curl 1×7-9 1×11-12
– leg press 1×11-12 2×7-9
– paused pendulum squat 1×8-10 1×20 (pause 2 secs in hole)
– BB glute bridge 2×8-12
– DB chest supported row 1×7-9 1×11-12
– undergrip lat pulldown machine 1×11-12 1×12-15
– adductor rest pause (aim for 12 first set)
– abductor 1×20
– calves on leg press 3×10-12All lifts progressed by weight. Really good session. Not get greedy with the increases in weight is paying off as its meant progression has stayed consistent. No big jump in weight which then causes lifts to stall and then possibly having to be reduced. Any weight added , any extra reps, it’s all progress.
Back in tomorrow morning for chest session.

I wouldn’t change it personally. You’ve said yourself you’re recovering well. You could always try push pull legs rest and repeat this as it’ll mean some weeks you’re training 6 days and some will be 5 days due to how it falls.

Nice easy rest day today. Had a bit of a lie in which is always a nice treat. Didn’t set an alarm and just let the body wake up naturally. Went into town mid morning to do some Xmas shopping and get a coffee then headed for some food at lunch. Off plan meal was surf and turf burger with homemade Cajun wedges. Went bunless with the burger as there were a lot of wedges so to keep with the macros of 50g protein, 100g carbs and 10g fats the bun went.
Later in the afternoon headed to spend time with some family as not had a proper chill and chat with them for a while. Then evening got some mortgage work done and got things ready for the new week ahead.
