Closing in on 6 weeks out
Feeling much more myself now
Lesson learnt – the giants needs fooooood
I do know this obviously but at times as athletes and individuals we want to give it our all and quite simply our all is sometimes too much
It’s the old saying that trying to hard can work against you and for me this prep slashing food and going balls deep ruined my look
I actually went from 305 post holiday to 290 in under 3 weeks
At 305 I could still see lines in my ass and at 290 just a soggy mess
Anyway as I said lesson learnt, patience is key, listening to the body, managing fatigue and FOOD!!!!

Hi Jamie. How frequently are you incorporating intensity techniques into your training sessions? 1-2 per workout? 1 per exercise? I’m curious.
TIA
I would say 2 per session typically 1 cluster and 1 rest pause or drop set ??

I’m the same as others here, I don’t see much benefit in doing over 2iu in one hit and yes that’s what Kuba meant.
Ansomone used to be good. Very hard to suggest which is best right now, hgh is always a gamble in my eyes

Kicked off my me and routine today
Wake at 5 am
Travel to a 24hr gum for cardio and sauna then meal 1 in 7.30-8am
The sauna felt amazing and the aim is to do this 3-4 days per week ??

We’re back in the game
Last high day yesterday complete and a real good push session
Weighed 303 this am and now we can start
To bring things down from a much better position ?? -
Spot on answers here! Hilly covered all points well ??
-
Rest day today
Looking forward to hitting next week as we head towards the 6 weeks out mark
Seeing everyone compete at the weekend was definitely inspiring and lit the fire to Krush the back end of the year ??

Saturday session at Rotherham went down nicely
Still feeling very flat and have a soft appearance
Lesson learnt on this occasion
Patience will always be a bodybuilders nest friend but more often than not we just push that little too hard, too quickly
I came back into prep 10 weeks out, body came to life after a week and since then just looks tired and deflated, why?
My calories are too low, I set them up and ran them by Jordan but they were very near where we finished off last prep as I just wanted to be in shape now
It doesn’t happen like that guys
It’s a process and we need to feed the body what it needs to perform and respond
This weekend I’ll take in some more food and touch base with Jordan when he’s back from spain as his focus needs to be Corinne right now
Just me honest thoughts guys ??
-
Yeh keep lats engaged by trying to retract but knee bend and bar depth/back angle look spot on here ??
Obviously a video would be better but this still is a solid piston

Hey guys yesterday was instructed by Jordan to feed back up.
It’s been a week where I’ve been pushing hard.
I knew as soon at 8 weeks out but I’d flick a switch and everything would be perfect but if anything food has been too low at baseline and it saw me drop from 298 Monday am to 290 Thursday am.
Yesterday I put in 850g carbs from clean sources so me and Jordan can fully track these loads and this am I’m 2lb up.
Just hit a crazy leg session so will likely be 290 again in the am and see what the boss man says.

No buddy I just track macros so chicken is protein, oats are carbs etc
That’s how I program my clients too
If your are consistent with your plan and food sources you won’t need to track micros plus when it comes to something like protein you want a certain amount of grams of fully bio available protein so you don’t want to be making up your targets from the scarps from
Oats and bagels for an exampleOnly thing I track 2 macros in is whole eggs, salmon, red meat and dark choc

As Adam said very specific to diet, goal and body fat levels
In terms of cycles I’ve used primo and mast in prep so I’ve had to use zero ai to combat estrogen
Vitamin C and high water intake are best ways to combat water retention naturally
I have 3000mg vit C and 6ltr water minimum year round ??

Do you find that you lag at all from only having 6 hrs sleep?[/quote]
Nope definitely not buddy – I’m not productive in bed. Reproductive maybe hahaBut 6 hours and I’m good to go!
5-10am I get most of my days work done tbh

I always take split dose as half life is 8-10 hours I believe

Soreness shouldn’t prevent you from training again. As Clare said if you can perform and beat your book you are good to go within reason.
If you are super sore where it hurts to sit and stand then you need more time but typically after 2-3 days you will be good to go.
