Wednesday means a non-training day. If anything, it’s actually one of my busiest days as I get massage work done every Wednesday and then 4-6 PT clients as well.
Last night was one of those ones where I woke up beyond ravenous during the night, all have in my flat that requires no cooking are rice cakes and jam, so 5 those down the hatch allowed me to get back to sleep.
As I mentioned above, reverse dieting is so much harder than dieting during the/a prep as you’ve got that end goal laser focus, but now that immediate goal is a bit lost on me.
Mood wise, I feel a bit lost, and my training partner correctly pointed out that I’ve worked 12 years to achieve a goal, and now the door is shut on that. Being lost post-show is something new to me, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced what many describe as “post-show blues”. I’m by no means “blue”, I just feel a touch off direction wise.
I know that next September time will be my pro debut, and that’s filling me with a tonne of motivation, but on the flip side, it’s still 13 months away.
Have a good one guys!

Just like that, it’s back to leg day. I touched on the topic on my Youtube and Instagram, that I need more density and hardness to my glutes in order to get the detail I want through them.
I’ve only managed to get them inside out once, but my upper REALLY suffered from doing that, so the plan is to add a little more muscle and hopefully next year find out if it adds to the look from the side and rear.
Volume is still very low (for me);
1 working set per exercise, either 8-12 or 12-15 reps;
BB squats – I will eventually put my isolation work in before these, but for now, I want to build them back up after doing pendulum squat for months.
SM hip thrusts
Prime lying leg curls
Walking EZ-bar lunges – I cover the whole distance of the gym which is roundly 25 reps per leg
Seated calve raises
Decline crunches
I’m still getting used to finishing sessions in 35-40 minutes, but it has it’s place for now.

Hello everyone,
Finally getting my blog up and running!
That’s me now in week 2 of my reverse from the prep diet, something of which I’ve never done in the past.
Usually, I’d eat everything in sight and sky rocket my food from the get go, and ultimately put on body fat relatively quickly, although, I was never to worried about that because I would get super strong, super quick so that was always my way of justifying it.
Now that I have a IFBB pro status, I’ve felt a new sense of motivation, and this has lead me to the decision to keep things as tight as humanly possible going forward.
The goal is simple, to continue to add 200cals per week (from carbs and/or fat) over the next 12 weeks or so. I’m hopeful that where I land is being on really high food, and still super lean. I’m excited for it as it’s a whole new territory for me.
Dieting for a show is very easy compared to this, as you now have the freedom to do what you want, but I’m keeping my head down.
Stay tuned!

I’d take it out at sat 2 weeks, if nothing else changes diet, training or cardio wise and you were to lose any kind of “pop” prop brings then you can put it back in the following week. If you’re to drop prop then perhaps a 50mg to tren a and 50mg to mast so 150mg of each EOD. So long as you’re ready this may sharpen up the edges a little.

Depending on your look, I’d pull prop in the next couple of weeks and subtlety push up tren ace and mast p. If you’re full, dry and hard then keep the test in.

MemberSeptember 7, 2018 at 8:50 pm in reply to: deficit for better composition or straight into bulk?If you’re dieting for this holiday, when you come home just go back on to the plan you have/had in place. Once your body is stable again (condition & weight wise) then slowly push calories up. That’s assuming you’re in good nick now.
That’s what I did this year.Instagram - amsmuscle
