9 Weeks Out Update

Morning guys, so today marks 9 weeks out exactly. 63 days if you want to break it down a bit more.

Weight / Body Comp

This week has not been your typical ‘lose 0.5-1lb’ week’ I came up after the high days and have now, 6 days later, pretty much hit my previous baseline bodyweight. However, I’ve definitely stepped forwards condition wise this week, it’s noticeable through my glute / ham and quads. I’ll be taking some pics post workout today & will share a few with you. Happy with the week itself for sure.

Training

Been genuinely a very good week, felt strong in every session, the only slightly off day was Push on Tuesday as we had loads of issues with traffic getting to Normanton so the pre meal went in crazy early & with it being very hot, meant the session felt harder than it maybe should’ve done, but we got after it anyway.

Nutrition

Nothing has changed this week at all, still running the same diet, full on robot mode with food now, don’t even think twice about it.

Expenditure

Still the same 12.5K TD / 15K steps NTD and no cardio.
Introducing yohimbine for the morning walk when Kuba gets me some 🙂 

Sleep

Been difficult with the heat and getting attacked by some flies earlier in the week haha, but besides that, it’s been a pretty high quality week, quantity could still be a bit better.

Mindset

Very ready for the next couple of months, regardless of probably not being able to travel to the states this year (which probably will change my plans for next year) I will give it my all to get the pro status at the UK show.

I have less self doubt this year especially after all the time I’ve given this prep (inclusive of the off season) so I feel calm & confident at the moment. My circle helps massively with this.

Hope you all had a great week! Any questions just ask.

hi AJ, are all your food weights raw or cooked?

Should be listed next to the meal matey, but mostly raw.

AJ have you ever had your natural testosterone level tested? Great log and vids bro

Yes I did but at the start of prep I believe I was just over 20 nmol [/quote]

168.4 lbs this morning – Leg Day – exciting to get into this session after finally a decent sleep with less heat.

Hi AJ, hope you’re well.
I’m interested in hearing more about your decision to implement yohimbine/vasoburn. Why have you chosen this route rather than to decrease calories or increase steps (or add cardio)? Is it entirely as an attempt to spot reduce? If so, at what point do you think someone should do this during a prep? Is there a certain level of leanness you’d ‘require’ a client to be before taking this path as opposed to increasing expenditure/decreasing intake?

[ajmorris]

Hi AJ,
How much Yohimbine are you taking and what’s your protocol.
Thanks.

Hey buddy

2.5mg – first thing in the morning pre walk with a black coffee

I’d definitely go for

Cybex machine lateral or Hs shoulder press
Hammer Iso Pulldown

Arm day today with a little chest top up.

It’s been a pretty long day but a good one. Me and jay went over to UF Durham because they have a few pieces of equipment that are great for arms and they give me a fantastic connection. As I said it was to film for my new YouTube series. Nothing too in depth today just an intro to me and what’s to come over the next 5 weeks leading into the show.

Jamie dropped me a text and asked if i want to go over there again tomorrow and train legs. I’ve never trained legs over there and really want to take the cybex hack for a run as I still haven’t been on one so we will have another trip over there tomorrow by the looks of it.

I’m still doing a lot of driving for training but while I’m still feeling fresh it doesn’t affect me.

Condition wise I’m still a tad behind but Kuba had a look this morning with check in and reassured me that we will be fine which is good enough word for me.

32 days out!!!

Let’s see a 6 plate cybex!
