Ooo hey there
Cool to see pro log buddy… makes it all so real I bet
I like that you don’t mess about with slowly adding 2 gram of carbs each week… straight in with healthy macros

Thank you dude!

[ajmorris]

@joseph – I will only do 2 sets bicep two sets tricep at the beginning ( super setted, bi-lateral )

[ajmorris]

Congratulations on your pro status well deserved.
Really looking forward to following your log through the off season phase .

From your diet listed how high have you set your protein intake ? I assume looking at it it’s over 1 gram Per lb of complete protein ? King regards

Thanks Adam. 260g Daily – mainly for satiety at the mo

Off Season Starting Point, Goals & Objectives

So here it is all laid out…. this is basically me thinking out loud on the plane back from Italy yesterday.

Any questions please ask 🙂

Main Objectives

– Bring up everything.

– Add another 8-10lbs of muscle. I really do believe I can do this

– Finer details being my ‘top line’ – chest, delts… need my front relaxed & front double bicep to have more pop to close the gap on top pro’s. I will do so by continuing to get strong across all presses and ensure I do not b*tch out on range of motion, ensuring every single press is taken to full depth.

– Need thicker abs for when I’m standing relaxed on stage

– Need to start next prep in 2022 leaner, so I can get everything off fat loss wise & present a true pro level physique. I estimate this will mean starting prep around 180lbs.

– Remain meticulous, yet enjoy some of the finer things in life with great people in this year away from competition. A few COVID free holidays would be nice.

Next Goals

– Compete with UKDFBA 2022

– Compete in the European Natural Championships 2022 PNBA Pro Class, and some of the other shows in the European Tour

– Compete in the PNBA Pro Natural Olympia 2022

Full diet will be listed on my Trained By JP log & my training split remains unchanged…

So…

I won 🙂

Natural Pro Card achieved. Still in shock / overload of emotion mode. Love it.

Congrats from here as well buddy! Amazing package!?
Which was the BW difference between the 2 shows, now you didn’t have to make any weight? Did you surpass the 165 mark?
Is this pro card going to change your future plans? Like are you going to focus on competing at PNBA Natural Olympia in Vegas, or chasing the WNBF pro card as well, from British finals and worlds afterwards?
I guess it’s hard to focus on both of them as there are too many shows and too close.

Hey dude, thank you!
I was 159.8 morning of UKDFBA and I was almost 164 the morning of NBFI. I had to weigh in at 3pm at UKDFBA though so it was much harder to predict being under 165.
I will now aim for Natural Olympia 2022.
More on that later ?[/quote]
Thanks for your response buddy!
I get it!? This was a significant BW difference
Sounds like a plan!?[/quote]
Congrats Aj phenomenal achievement looking forward to hearing the future plans and following along with the offseason [/quote]
Thanks Myles!

Ok so yesterday….

I won my pro card 🙂

& narrowly missed out on the overall.

It was a much much better look this weekend. Was really happy to nail it. Pumped even before I did any pump up backstage, better quad fullness, overall just a much improved look.

Very happy chippy today. Will give an update on diet / next plans soon

Enjoyed a pizza last night / dessert, woke 1lb up, will have one relaxed but sensible day today, then back at it tomorrow with off season diet!
