    Today would have been a Leg day, but I’m taking 3 day’s straight rest as my body is showing signs of needing it. Yesterday was a run and usual steps, today was a full rest day with just steps as my activity and tomorrow will be the same as today. I’ll be back to it, refreshed on Tuesday.

    One is rice and one is wheat. The rice is much easier and quicker to digest. The wheat will be slower and not as easy on the digestive system, particularly for those who are sensitive to gluten.

    I would definitely opt for Cream of Rice out of the two.

    Today has been a rest day. A run first thing, catching up on jobs around the house, then an afternoon spent with the family with a walk along the coast and a nice meal out for lunch.

    Thanks 🙏 for the reply Kuba, what would you say are the HRT dosages? Cheers 🍻

    I implement HRT doses when I start diet

    Makes no sense waiting until your metabolism slows down then adding imo – I like to be proactive with this and more so use it as a preventive measure keeping metabolism in a good spot

    100 t4

    25 t3

    Is a start point then check blood work for more accuracy [/quote]

    Is they a best time to take these? Like before fasted cardio or just take with meal 1?[/quote]

    Fasted away from caffeine as it inhibits absorption [/quote]

    If also using yohimbine with 100 mg and GH, how would be the Timing? First the t3 and 20 min After yohimbine and GH?

    Thank you!![/quote]

    100mg Yohimbine HCL??

    [/quote]
    My bad!! One zero* extra added by error 😅😅
    10 mg yohimbine sure[/quote]

    Haha.. ok! In answer to your question, you can take the supplements at the same time.

    Set up looks good. You could potentially add in some veggies like peppers / mushrooms to your egg whites so you have some additional micronutrients.

    I agree with this, otherwise if everything is digesting well and the meal timings suit you, then it looks fine to me.

    Today was my glute focussed session. This was a good, but tough one. I pushed myself hard today and progressed on everything. The farmers walks finished me off and put me in a bit of a hole after, but hey! It was fun 🙂

    It sounds like you’re lacking motivation and not enjoying your training right now.

    What are your goals?

    Are you looking to compete or are you training for physique goals or enjoyment?

    Are there other aspects of fitness you enjoy aside from bodybuilding?

    Are you stressed due anything outside of training?

    Today’s been a rest day. I did a run first thing, then had a couple of posing clients this morning, as well as getting back to my online coaching clients. This afternoon I took my daughter out for coffee and a spot of shopping, then we went for a nice walk along the beach. I have a bit more work to get on with now before my husband returns for the weekend.

    Listen to your body. Feel out exercises and see what you can do without pain, see how much volume you can recover from and go from there. You may be able to stick to your same split, but adapt exercises to offer more support while you’re healing, eliminate some movements or lower some volume to allow for more recovery.

    It’s all very well listening to advice, but injuries are very individual and only you know how you feel, so adapt as you feel necessary and build back up again gradually.

    Another really good Leg day this morning. I’m connecting well with movements at the moment and strength is feeling good, so things are progressing nicely.

    I’m not particularly aiming to build any more tissue right now, but continue to train how I love to train, choose movements that I enjoy and connect with, whilst also improving my fitness through various cardiovascular elements. I want to keep my legs and glutes, but want to drop some upper size, hence why I only now have one full upper session a week atm.

    How old are you? How long have you been training? what peds have you run before? Are you working with a coach? Do you have any current physique pictures for us to see?

    This could be swollen lymph glands from an infection or blocked salivary gland, however this would usually present more under the ear and down the side of your neck. A lump in the middle could indicate a goitre or thyroid swelling, but this would all be guess work, so definitely go and see a Doctor and get checked out.

    What’s the prospective recovery time? Will you be able to train the other leg whilst you’re healing?

    Jeez.. today’s session was a hot one! A good one though. This was my upper session, which includes deadlifts. These are still feeling really nice and are progressing slowly each week, which I’m loving. I also finished the session with some tyre flips, which was good fun.. then it was home for a cold shower!
