morning. no log entry last night as I didnt get in until v late and just had to get straight to bed to get enough sleep in. We were at the trainedbyjp team Christmas party and had a great time, a huge thankyou to corinne and jordan for looking after us. I’m currently just relaxing in the hotel, we are going to train at MJs gym this afternoon so I’ll get another meal in and hit up a push session with kuba over there.

Good evening all. Legs went down tonight at ultraflex and a very productive session. Sometimes mentally it can be hard for me to attack legs hard as I’m so dominant in my lower areas it sometimes feels as though I’m unbalancing my proportions even further. However after a lot of tinkering and trial and error I feel like I’m in a place that doesnt blow my legs up with size but enhances them in quality and detail. It may just be a placebo but the look to my legs is definitely different for the better. we will keep on this set up for as long as its productive.
session tonight was
seated leg curl x 2
smith squat x 1
leg press x 1
single leg press x 1
leg ext x 1
seated ham curl x 1
adductor x 1
seated calves x 3Instagram: jimmytonk

The caffeine is in there as stan believes it accelerates the uptake of all the nutrients. Like a lot of the guys say, I take bits from his methods but not all. Stan says for the vertical diet to work how it should you must follow every aspect of it to the letter.

Another late one for me again tonight, we didnt get going until gone 4 again so that needs tightening up as it will most definitely start to effect my recovery with the later nights having to stay up and eat. ideally I like to get going for 2- 230 I feel I preform best training around that time after 3 meals. Todays session was pull, the session was good and numbers are up however we sped through it too fast, I understand enthusiasm and aggression is high in the gym at the minute and the desire to smash every session is allowing us to build a decent amount of new tissue but I feel like sometimes this speeds things up and in terms of rest periods I definitely feel like we are almost in a crossfit workout Haha and this will interfere with muscle contraction, control and strength. Slower is most definitely better in terms of building muscle and strength. Todays session was
SA extreme row x 2
Tbar row x 2
pin loaded prime row x 2
PSP attachment pulldown x 2
rev pec dec x 2
barbell shrug x 2
cable bicep curl x 2

Rested up again today. Had a lot of little jobs to do with wrapping up the sale of the gym so I’ve been kept busy but managed to keep activity down. I have been a little flat today and seemed to flatten out more as the day went on which I wasnt expecting as I’ve been a lot fuller since food has gone up. double burgers and chips last meal on all rest days will top me up. looking forward to hitting some pull tomorrow and smashing the logbook up ????
Hey Jimmy, loving the log, been following along in the shadows!!
If you don’t mind me asking and your OK with answering, how come your selling/sold your gym?
Can’t wait to see your condition and the next show![/quote]
Hey mate. No not at all. For me the gym was always a stepping stone, I worked as a joiner before I bought the gym 3 years ago and the job had a negative impact on how I could progress from how manual it was. I bought the gym more as a way to be able to concentrate on becoming a better bodybuilder really. I refurbished the gym and have now got it to a point where its doing well which allows me to live the lifestyle I need. However its located in a small town and has no potential for growth there and with how things are going I have less and less time and from a longevity point of view the gym will eventually suffer so I will flip a profit on it now while it’s at its peak of where I can personally take it. Running a gym is so time consuming and leaves for nothing else and I really enjoy coaching, I’ve always had a good team but can never expand due to the time constraints. I ultimately want a career in the industry and I felt it would be difficult while running a gym and the coaching will allow me to work from wherever I am. Very long winded answer there bro but that’s the reasonsInstagram: jimmytonk

It will put you in a more natural squatting position, it also helped save my knees so its something I wish I had used sooner but ultimately it’s what feels best for you.

No mini cut needed here Josh. Nowhere near infact. I can tell by look alone. I’m assuming digestion and everything is fine. plenty of room to push, probably another 15-20lbs easy
thanks Jimmy. tbh I don’t really understand digestion. I go loo once twice a day normally 1st thing and before bed. I use digestive enzymes every meal and Glycomax by Strom. I use AcV greens n eaa/glutamine 1st thing. I actually struggle to hold bodyweight at 92kg with 300g+ protein and 600+carbs daily. I’ll keep pushing and probably post on here once a week. hoping to get a coach in the new year[/quote]
Ok so in basic terms digestion is mainly down to how your food sits in your stomach once you have eaten it. if you eat a meal and it sits heavy on your stomach for a long period of time and you still feel full or bloated by the time you are due your next meal the chances are digestion is not very good and nutrient partitioning wound not be optimal. We want to eat meals and feel ready to eat within 2-3 hours this means you are utilising a lot of the food you are eating and digestion is good. Taking your food up in smaller increments will help keep digestion on point, Usually when people push food up too fast is where we see problems.Instagram: jimmytonk

Hey Kelly. The key here is like some of the guys have said. Try to get in a nice relaxed state before you go to bed, get all your jobs and meals done as early as possible and try and have at least an hour before bed where you just let your mind and body wind down otherwise you can feel restless throughout the night even if the session was in the morning.

My first thoughts was possibly anxiety especially if it was away from any exercise however 180BPM is very high for a relaxed heart rate. I would do as Hilly advised and get yourself to a doctors asap

Solid push session in the books tonight. Everything felt a lot better and moved well in comparison to the last time I hit this session. I feel the key here is as I said yesterday and using the less is more philosophy on the leg session the day prior leaving me fresher. Resting up tomorrow and I have a busy day so an early night is needed.
session today was
gym shop shoulder press x 2
flat hs chest press x 2
close grip Smith x 2
pec dec x 2 2nd set rp
Atlantis side raise machine x 2
lying cuffed lateral x 2 2nd set rp
cable bicep curls x 3
ez bar cable pushdown x 3
single arm pushdown x 1Instagram: jimmytonk

As everyone is touching on. more is not always more either reduce volume or frequency and build up from there. If you believe execution to be correct then it’s a case of just getting very strong on your chest movements and growth will occur. Be meticulous and patient and it will come.

very late one today. we didnt get going until gone 5 and it was legs which is always a long one. I felt good tonight and went about the session a little more methodically than last week where I just went to town and more on every exercise with maximum weight, this definitely had a negative effect on the push session the next day. Tonight was about a slower session and with precision. The weights were still an improvement in the logbook but the aim was to expend as little energy as possible and progress which we did.
session was
lying leg curl x 2
power squat x 1
precor leg press x 1
Atlantis single leg press x 1
leg ext x 1
lying db ham curl x 1
adductor and abductor x 1
seated calf x 3Instagram: jimmytonk

Do you track your step count? I like the idea of moving as little as possible on rest days

I count steps on prep mate but not in the off season. I just go on feel, look and how my digestion is. I will move more if any of the above are out but if not I try and rest as much as possible.
