Hey Jamie
So are you going coachless now for the foreseeable future? Your still signed with the brand though right?
Oh most definitely
My decision to try it alone does not effect my relationship or sponsorship
Jordan and Corinne are fully behind me and believe a happy giant is the most dangerous one haha

Not going to email but I can vouch for rohm being gtg
If they can’t get the Raw’s they just won’t produce simple as that. Hence why there Anavar has been out for a few months now

Update for the Giant just to keep everyone in the loop.
The last 5 weeks since starting prep has been undoubtedly the most stressful of my bodybuilding career so far.
Me and Jordan really nailed a great look in Puerto Rico but not having revived the placing I felt I deserved had me question whether I should carry on competing this year or hang it up and off season which is what I know I ultimately need to be competitive at the top level.
So after much discussion with Jordan and Katie I decided to press on starting prep 10 weeks out at 305.
I’d just returned back from holiday with the family in Croatia which was lovely but at the same time holidays and international travel in these times come with a lot of stress. Add a house move and starting prep back in the mix I’d pushed myself far to hard physically and mentally finding myself at 290 within 2 weeks and looking like utter shit adding to the mental fatigue.
For the first time in my BB career I’d lost the enjoyment for training and felt the pressure of being a slave to a program and the log book. Sessions weren’t enjoyable and looking at myself less so. It was at this point I considered whether I was even coachable and quite unwilling to be the robot I needed to be.
After much thought I came to the conclusion that if I were to bring my best to the Arnold’s I needed to enjoy it all again. Jordan knew how I felt anyway but being in this frame of mind and in kind of limbo with Jordan helping me was adding to the stress so
We both agreed that if I can’t be all in with coaching I shouldn’t be in at all.We agreed that I should oversee the remainder of this prep and simply approach everyday and each session to just enjoy it and tick boxes without thought.
I take my hat off to Jordan and corinne as the level of support I’ve received is second to none.
Now I have the fire to represent the brand and the fact it’s on my own back is new territory and is pushing me forwards each day.
As part of me growing as a coach and an athlete I think although it may be a huge risk right now to do this, it definitely feels right and I can hand on heart do this prep without feeling like I’m doing anyone a disservice.
Let this be a lesson to others aswell guys, coaching is all in, you can’t be 90%.
I became very emotionally attached to J&C and for me that meant I was less adherent and inputting my own ideas which is not cool but this happened because of all the above stress factors.
I’m weirdly happier only having myself to stress out right now but I guess that’s my nature not wanting to put on others.
I’ll finish by saying a huge thanks for all the support from the JP team and this site ??
Wish me look for the next 5 weeks ?

Went to see jon lofthouse yesterday to sort a posing routine for the Arnold’s.
Something I’ve never focused on much but something I am very excited about and should take it more seriously.
End of the day although the routine isn’t judged and not sure if this being an Arnold will be but needless to say I am a professional and that means applying myself professionally to every single aspect and not winging it.
We made a great start and I know it’s going to be pretty fucking epic ??

Happy birthday ya big fucking unit
Haha thanks man

I’d question why only 1?
Both for me no matter what the goal is.
Carbs drive performance and aid recovery so either side is an essential choice in my eyes

I would have you at 1.5 per lb bodyweight buddy so 300 up to 350 per day from direct protein and not made up from micronutrients values like protein from a bagel and oats etc they’d be counted as carbs only for my planning

Post pizza ?
