Just wrapped an off plan pull session with Rich Ellis filmed for the site. Although it was a good session I’m feeling really fed up and annoyed with my glute pain. Neural shooting pains are so horrible. Excruciating. The most annoying thing is I know I am good at pulling but this is an issue that’s just holding me back massively. Tried snatch grip rdls today and they were no better at all. I think it’s time to try something else. Might have to swap them for racks potentially as loading my hams and glutes is just unbearable. I could fall asleep right now as that’s how it leaves me feeling. A completely different kind of pain.

Chest supported row 1×6, 1×13
Snatch grip rdl 2×6
Single arm machine row 1×8 1×20
Upper back row 1×12 1×25
Pull down curls 3×12
Machine curls 1×10 1×12

Got some neural hamstring stretches from rich and was really good to train with someone who’s so strong and immaculate with form. Really cleaned my technique up on the rdls just a shame I can’t bare the pain they cause. :’(

I think the way the whey is made now it can withstand an amount of heat that isn’t going to affect it. I often put whey directly into very hot oats and cream of rice. Whey is used in a lot of baking recipes nowadays too

Just took a trip to the uks mecca of bodybuilding the one and only ultraflex Rotherham for my delts and triceps session and obliterated my log book !! So so happy! Surprised I even had the balls to try it tbf I added 20kg a side to the Atlantis shoulder press and matched my reps from last session on it. Love ultraflex. Literally the best place ever to train!

Atlantis shoulder press 1×7 PRS 1×12-4-3 1 forced 1 iso
Dip machine 1×8 PRS 1×14-8-4 1 forced 1 iso
Atlantis single arm tricep press/extension 3 point rp 10-5-3
Single arm cable extension into dc stretch
Lying cuff lateral 12-6-3 rp
Single arm lateral raise machine rp 15-8-4
Would have usually done a cable fly too but doing it yesterday there was no need

Looks a short session on paper but any season with the pivotal rep system in place is an absolute killer ! Loved it !!! Filming pull tomorrow. Little apprehensive as there’s rdls and my glutes are giving me aggro again so might have to sit it out. Will probably try snatch grip to see how that feels too. Wish me luck guys.

I’d only ever change meats to white fish to save on calories and not alter volume of food much when dieting. Although it does digest well I know james is a very big fan of it.

I’m still trying to work out the pivotal rep system from the videos. Am I right in think it goes like this

10 reaps

30 seconds rest

Another set to failure

X2 forced reps

Then hold in the stretch position for 10’seconds

Hey guys!! So today I have had a bit of an odd day… feeling a bit rubbish. Not sure if it’s in my head or not but now I’ve stopped caber I’m waiting for the lull I’ll feel due to it being a seratonin release drug so I’ll be now without that feeling I’ve been having daily. To be honest I didn’t even know about that until I spoke to dr dean at bodypower so I think me expecting and waiting for that low feeling is me kind of inducing it myself stupidly. Gyno is sore again today. Still not visually noticeable but v annoying. Waiting for the aramosin to kick in now and hopefully wipe it out. I got some last week and decided to swap it in for adex. Today I hit the touch up session, ended up doing some exercises that aren’t in my plan anymore. Flat bench press 2 working sets
Rack pull 2 working sets
Cable fly 2 working sets
Mag grip pull down 2 working sets
Dumbbell bicep curl 2 working sets
Machine curl 2 working sets
Calf raise 3 working sets.

Also today is my 9 year anniversary with my other half so we are out for an Italian and some nice desert and drinks. Mums looking after the babies so it’s a chill for us for a change.

Tomorrow I’m going ultraflex Rotherham to hit delts and triceps !!

Evening guys! Rest day today for me and I got bloods results back!! Everything is where we expected it being on tren ace. So lipids are slightly out but nothing to worry about so we have the green light to push on. Tomorrow I was due to train back but I might have to move some bits around as I’m training pull on Monday with rich which is being filmed for the site so tomorrow I might use as a top up day as a rare one off. Then delts and triceps Sunday and pull Monday. Then rest Tuesday and start the rotation again with chest. This is what I mentioned to jordan and he seemed to like the idea. Hope you all have a great weekend guys.

Alright bud – just had a catch up on your log and you’d barely even know you had hernia surgery recently. Everything’s going really well. Dare I say having a reset and rest did you some good? Obviously the surgery was necessary, but the extra rest (not exactly a holiday mind) must’ve helped your body. Still sticking to your guns and holding off to compete until next year?

Good luck with BP – is it your first time on a stand? Can imagine it’s a completely different experience – you actually have to talk and be nice haha. Echoing yours and Clare’s comments above, absolutely hate a routine being thrown. When I can’t control the variables for training, it puts me at unease. Some people love training in a packed gym with a buzzing atmosphere – nope, hate it.

Hey buddy. Thanks mate. Yeah I’m really happy with how I’m progressing and back training. Potentially yes mate ! It does seem that way.

No mate I’m competing this year! I’m growing now in hope I gain well which I feel I am and then hit prep around August for a show in November.

Thanks bud. No mate lol, I’ve been on stands since 2014 – I was with pharmafreak then 2015,2016, reflex and 2017 Yolo. So I’ve done my fair share of bodypower lol. In always enjoy interacting with people who follow my progress and take an interest. This year was my best so far being with the TrainedByJP team it was completely different. Such an awesome buzz. Yeah mate we got lucky with dinos gym it was busy but not too much and I actually got 2 very productive sessions in. Hope your well bud.

Ah sweet, knew you were hoping to this year but obviously was all dependent on recovery from your op. November sounds like a good window to shoot for – tad late for the UK circuit mind. Are there any shows then or are you thinking abroad?

A seasoned vet then at BP! Must be surreal putting faces to names, but also sharing that passion with other like minded individuals. Plus, it must be a source of inspiration coming away from it and realising how lucky you are. Heard very good things about Dinos – spit and sawdust kind of gym. Surprised you got on any equipment over BP weekend though. Yeah all’s good matey, just trudging along. Around the 13.5 week out mark now so starting to feel a tad more real.[/quote]

Yes mate I’ll miss the uk shows but there are 3 im looking at. 2 in November. Iceland and Amsterdam and then Italy in December.

Yeah it’s pretty surreal tbh. You never get used to it but it’s also really cool. Your bang on you definitely feel very humbled. I do everyday tbh. Very grateful for all the opportunities I get.

13.5 weeks! Awesome. Which show you going for ?

A good non stick pan requires nothing and i did this for years. I will occasionally use 1 cal spray now and again for chicken etc but beef and salmon with its own fat content doesn’t require anything
