Still hitting 186’s mostly this week so fat loss has been great, around 1.5 lbs down on average which is spot on at this stage. 10 lbs down so far!!

Managed to get a Precor Seated Leg Curl for the garage yesterday so for Legs now I’m totally fine.

I have now changed my split to fall in suit with Danni so I can train with her and have a spot on certain moves, it’s one of my fave splits ever anyway so I’ve not got a problem doing it.

Pull
Push
Legs
Off
Upper
Legs
Off

Will detail each session as we go 🙂

No changes for next week!

Hit a new low today, 186.2 lbs, felt a lot tighter last night, so knew it was coming, I have gotten very in tune with my body over the years of doing this so far so I can just predict when a new low is on it’s way 🙂

Just Arms today, 10 sets Bicep, 10 sets Tricep, very simple, but I’ve also got to set up a Power Rack Cage…. it arrived today, I was also very very grateful to purchase a leg press (8 miles away from my house) for £325 yesterday in great condition, so that’s now sitting in the garage too…

Really kitting out with the best possible stuff for the next months, final piece for now is a pulldown with high /low pulley coming soon.

Afternoon guys, so yesterday was a good rest day, very productive with work at the moment and taking on a good amount of new clients to help people during this period of time so that’s been a huge focus alongside the education series content & the podcast.

Today is push, below is the session plan! This is my third time hitting this session, so I expect all green numbers when it comes to progression!!

Took check in pics this morn, here is one that I posted on Instagram.

Legs was kinda rubbish the other day and I got in a bit of a mood about it, fucking around with bands and wasting energy on high rep sets really isn’t the way I love to train, I got it done because I need to do it, it’s non negotiable for my goals, but I didn’t enjoy it. Power rack comes next week to make my life a lot easier and I’m looking into getting a hack / leg press combo for the garage too, if I can get that, alongside the pulldown I’ve just ordered, I’m set for this period no matter how long it lasts.

Here was yesterdays Pull session, which on the contrary, was epic.

I’ve also dropped 10g Fats out of the diet, to push on further with fat loss, this has brought about a good rate of loss this week. Will do my usual check in shots this weekend.

If Boris announces gym closures until October, it’s unlikely my show will go ahead, so I will simply pull food down into a mini cut set up, get lean enough to start growing, and go from there.

If not this year, will you then look to compete next year?
I know before you mentioned you had a lot of clients competing 2021 so didn’t want to compete then.
Might look to be even more stacked next year if this year is postponed.

Hey buddy, it won’t be 2021 for me as I’ll have far too much on my plate client wise, I can’t commit properly to both.

2022 if I don’t do this year.

Fantastic leg session today, this is the last one ( I hope ) before I’ll have the power rack, felt recovered enough to pull from the floor, and managed to hit an all time PB with 200, taking 9 reps.

Goes to show, when you lock in your mindset, regardless of the situation, good things can come of your sessions during this time.

I hope everyone is doing well <3

Glad to see you on here aj how you finding the bin racks ? Far superior imo

Thanks buddy – absolutely horrendous

[ajmorris]

So yesterday was total rest, a very busy day getting back to applications, setting up new programmes and also getting the online coaching education series on the site launched!! Very excited for it.

Today is Legs, still no rack… so I’ll be inventive, and see what I can do, as always, giving it my all is the goal.

Will update you on how it goes!

Hey guys! Sorry for radio silence over the last 2 days, long story short private facility is off the cards now, so all training will take place at home. Luckily enough, I’ve got some solid kit, and some more on the way.

I’ve taken off just over a pound this week, and actually starting to look like a bodybuilder a bit now, I need another 1-1.5 off again next week at least, with 24 weeks out being this weekend, the gas pedal needs to go down on this prep now, expect to see bigger weekly changes in my next check in pics.

My Pull Session at home left my hams in BITS.

Pull home 1

Deadstop Stiff leg – 120×10 / 135×10 / 167×8 / 167×7 / 135×12 ( did more ‘feeder’ sets to pre fatigue due to lack of weight, got more weight now, up to 225kgs, so I’m good).
Bent Row – 120×10 / 100×12 /100×12
Meadows Row – 20×15 / 25×16 / 30x
SA DB Row – 85×15/15/15

So great Push Session today, beat a good few numbers, felt a little flat and no huge pump during the session.

I have now re-introduced caffeine after a long hiatus, no real need for it during the latter parts of the off season, it’s crazy how sensitive I am now to caffeine, a small coffee and I’m buzzing… which is a good sign 🙂

Also got my first batch of TrainedByJP new clothing today, which is available on Monday on the site, it’s very cool!! Some wicked new designs.

Hey guys, Leg day yesterday, brutal!! Was very long, but very successful and feel properly battered today. Also recorded a great podcast with Lee Kemp & Ben Howard last night talking all about training, this will be up today on my YouTube and iTunes etc.

Total rest today, no arms! Needed, and I’m also recording another podcast with Andrew Chappell and Steff Noble, two epic natty pro’s. Alongside that, lots of check ins and client work to be done!

[ajmorris]

Nice day today! Little quieter on check ins, Arms, Food Shop, 35 min CV which I actually hit up outside, a fast paced walk, as the bike prior to leg day ruins my quads too much, I managed to hit 133 bpm average on my Polar so this is just about enough intensity for now, soon I’ll be too fit for the walk to provide sufficient cardio intensity, so I will switch to the bike, but by then, my cardiac recovery will be improved, so it won’t be so harmful on the leg day, performance is so key for me so I cannot afford to be dropping off in sessions due to my cardio choices.

Last meal then bed, Ready for a big leg day tomorrow.

[ajmorris]

So Pull today! Very good session, performance up again, felt good throughout and pumps are slowly getting better too, took some pics post workout and I’m starting to look a little more like a bodybuilder which is always a nice sign.

Weight has been stalling this week but I feel a little inflamed from hay fever being a lil b*tch so I doubt I’ll be making any changes nutrition wise ( I have not made a single adjustment in 6 weeks and still dropping well ) so we will see what the next week holds, and I’ll go off my check in shots tomorrow.

Arms tomorrow and it’s actually my b’day! Not that I’ll be doing anything special 😉 Eating meals, food shop and resting up ready for legs!

[ajmorris]

Solid session today with Push. Felt well rested and strong going into it and as with most days like that, it showed in the log book, with most numbers being beaten.

Small isolations like laterals and triceps, I obviously still try and progress as much as possible, but I’m more aware of how these can quickly turn sour in the Chase for one more rep or a bit more load, and the whole internal feel goes to sh*t. So I take my time and try and stay accurate.

Rest up this evening ready for Pull tomorrow!

[ajmorris]

Straight forward rest day today, felt battered up until about midday, then started to come alive again after getting out for a good walk in the lovely weather we are having here!

Might even have a BIT of colour in my next progress images… but I doubt it.

Been kept very busy with client work – check ins, a new set up & creating content for my own membership site / IG.

I like to finish my meals around 9pm on rest days and be in bed by 10:30 latest, which allows for a perfect sleep for the next batch of sessions.
