Hahaha damn straight! My ultimate cheat food that’s a tough one. I absolutely adore sushi and I used to love a dominoes pizza so if it was dirty I’d go mental at dominos!! but my first choice is usually sushi and a close second is jerk chicken rice and peas with all the sides.
Yeah exactly I know what I can get away with. It’s recently started giving me a bit of pain. After my session with jordan actually haha shows how hard we pushed. But it’s fine again now. Tbh no. Not lightened anything I’m getting stronger and working to my max every session so it’s a just a matter of give everything until I get booked in for surgery or die haha. Joking
Yeah it’s a bit difference I know. I connect well with it though so it’s not too much of a worry. Just annoying I’m weak as piss on it ????.

Favourite is high incline plate loaded press and dips
The most challenging for me is Deadlift from the floor
Rack pull, hack squat/leg press, high incline plate loaded press are the 3 I wouldn’t go without_________________________________________

Hi Haider
Been dipping in and out of your log for a while now, but now I see something worth commenting about – sandwiches haha!!! Do love a good sandwich but not something I really eat anymore unless it is a treat. However, your New York Deli is right up my street. The peppery hit from the pastrami and rocket, so good. Have to say one of my favourites is a roast dinner sandwich on Christmas Day. Everything I had for my dinner stacked between 2 slices of bread or in the case of this year, club style. Whip a side of dunking gravy and good to go.Training seems to be going really well, even with the underlying hernia and shoulder. Are you nervous about pushing up with the hernia? Even though I’m sure you’re aware of the limitation, there must be some conscious or self-conscious holding back? I’m with you on incline smith. Such a pain to progress – micro plates are the way forward. The smith in my gym adds about an extra 20kg of resistance because it is so stiff. Anyone pressing two plates a side is definitely a freak using that particular smith.
Hahahaa now this is a man who loves his food. Very descriptive! Yes mate I have to agree with the Xmas dinner sandwiches! They are always epic! I miss turkey, stuffing and cranberry on buttered thick bread ????.
Yes mate it has. But I know I can do so much more. I feel like a caged animal at times if I’m honest. Im not nervous to be honest no. I mean I feel it constantly and on the big lifts I’m probably making it worse but I’m kind of used to it now and I know I’ll get a date sooner or later so why wait. NHS can take forever sometimes and I just want to be making progress. I’m not getting any younger. So will deal with it when the time comes. I’m glad someone feels my pain about the Smith It’s really annoying me tbh I’m only just getting 5 reps on my loading set so I’m not even ready for the micro plates haha. We will keep preserving. Heavy smiths ????. Is it an old school type?

@Haider – things are good…next 6 weeks I think I can add a lot – sooo we shall see…im genuinely not getting on that plane if im not a bit bigger and better then last time!
I can see its going well for u, a lot more quality size already….despite all the injuries etc
(and when I say family day out…me and Jordan will invite ourselves along too haha)____________________________
trainedbyjp@hotmail.co.uk | http://www.trainedbyjpclothing.comThat’s awesome!! I think your potential is endless. Proportions are spot on now imo. Just bringing everything up a touch will be deadly. And I’m 100% sure you will be better than last time it’s you we’re talking about!!
Ah thank you. I feel I’ve gained some tissue despite still only cruising. Everything’s moving well despite all the crappy injuries. So I’m just so excited to be injury free and see what I can do in this off season. The guys all smashing pbs and having similar exercises is really motivating. I’m just constantly trying to reach their numbers.
Aww seriously I’d love that!!! ❤️

I like to keep on top of the important stuff…you know me! haha
very specific!! I have NEVER had a NY deli …I think the pastrami put me off, as im not massive on it…however the combo here would work well
hmmm…I think prawn mayo on granary with salad….BUT not a shop one, it would have to be a real good ‘cute cafe’ kinda sandwich
OR the turkey – slaw from Bagel Man…if you have every heard of that shop?
hard question!
____________________________
trainedbyjp@hotmail.co.uk | http://www.trainedbyjpclothing.comHahaha yes! Try it! It’s good! Mmm I do like a prawn and mayo sandwich but like you say it needs to be a good one! Thick sliced granary ????????. You’ve got me thinking about sandwiches now!
No! Where is it? Sounds like I need to know about this shop!

Hey guys. Just finished up a very good leg session at empire fitness in Hinckley. Drove half an hour to use the hammer strength leg press and they only went and removed it as it wasn’t getting used enough! Wtf! I was gutted. I think I’ve convinced them to get it back in the gym I hope. Anyway so the reason I traveled for this is doing a PPL split with a rest day either side of legs and using the hack as the main losing exercise in each session is wrecking my knees and I need to train smart. So anyway today I had to improvise and luckily this gym is very well equipped. Pretty much all hammer strength and nautilus. So I used the nautilus pivot leg press but it’s not the usual angle as you can sit the seat upright and it’s similar to a hammer strength seated leg press. Strength curve is very nice. Another improvisation was no pendulum so I saw a funny looking machine ‘try squat’ google it, jumped on that after a quick message to jordan whether to or not lol. Loaded the quads very nicely. So yeah pleasantly surprised. No knee or lower back issues on first 2 loading exercises. Full session below
Hammer strength single leg seated ham curl 2×8 1×15
Nautilus leg press – 9 plates a side – 7, 7 plates – 15
Tru squat – 4 plates – 7 reps, 3 plates – 13
Single leg leg press – hammer strength- 2.5plates 2×12
Machine rdl – 75kg each side 2×15 (should have went way heavier)
Adductors (nautilus) – stack – 1×15
Hammer strength leg extension 2×12
Hammer strength front underhand pull down- 3 plates 12-6-3 rest pause
Nautilus bicep curl machine 12-6-3 rest pause
Seated calf 3×12tb-jp.com/collections/clothing - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Remember I mentioned my incline smith sticking – we’ll still no improvement here so I’ve ordered some 0.5kg plates to hopefully get me over this. That being said I pb’d on the high incline plate loaded press from 80kg a side for 6 to 90kg a side for 7. Also 65kg dips for 4 reps to 67.5kg for 4 just missed the lock out on 5th. Some would have counted it haha.

Hey guys. Couple of days successful training in the books. Push and pull. Have to be really careful with my shoulder/lat – I assumed I’d fully recovered but it’s not there yet. Certain movements in my pull session very nearly put it out again so I’m going to have to be super careful from now going forward. The right movements. Extra strict. Which is good anyway. Can work on execution. Did an inbody test yesterday. Not sure if you guys are familiar with it but it’s 99.9% inline with a dexa scan. So since my show I’ve gained just under 2kg of lean muscle. This made me v happy. Considering I’ve been on a cruise dose of 250 test since October and had illness, injury. I put it down to jordan’s programming and execution of the right exercises! Really happy. Jordan even sent me a Yessssss when he saw it on my Instagram story. I’ve attached a pic below which shows a test in July , 2 in October and one from yesterday.

As you all know I’m still awaiting my hernia surgery date… but I just can’t stand hovering around anymore and after speaking with jordan he’s agreed it’s time to push and go ahead with this off season. When I get the date for the surgery whenever that will be that’s when we will go in for surgery no matter what stage of the off season I’m in. It’s not preventing me from lifting heavy and pushing in the gym so why not make some head way with gaining some tissue.
Jordan wants a gain of 16-17lbs total body weight from where I am currently – that would mean a rough diet of 25lbs to come off and around 5lbs of stage weight to last year. I feel I can definitely be competitive with that much muscle in the right places. So let’s hope I can stay injury free and push hard. I know I need bigger delts and a thicker back so aside from legs they are the priority. I’ve booked in for my second blood test on the 30th so let’s see if I’ve brought down the markers I wanted to ready for a push. Liver- ALT – needs to come down and my cardiac marker also. I’ve been blasting tudca, nac, citrus bergamot, vitamin k2, and ubiquinol in high doses so hopefully that and giving blood will have done the job. We’re going to add in npp, masteron and a bit more test. Not sure on eq currently but that’s what we’re working with – when bloods permit. To say I’m excited is an understatement. I just want to get stronger and grow! I’m determined to make this my year by hitting a few shows in a row and not betting all on one like last year!
