I will be taking Jordan’s words as he said for total body training, and I bought the fortitude training book is some of the muscle rounds or pump superset strategies can be used in the later week on the meso, like weeks 7-8, to increase the intensity and deload?

If you are dieting using intensifies like supersets is not necessary, stick to straight sets. If in a calorie surplus you could add in the odd dropset , personally stick to straight sets and take them for every ounce of progression you can. The likelihood at 7-8 weeks adding this in won’t help your recovery at all if anything that deload will be needed even sooner -
Really good upper session today, this was mainly my pull dominant upper session with one chest exercise. Filmed this for my YouTube channel, so look out for when this drops. I will have a video coming out In the next few days also from me leg session I filmed last week. Rest up tonight, then legs for my last session of the week

Agree with Meg and Kuba, guidance from a coach will definitely be of value and give you a clear direction what how to approach this

Usual weds rest day today. It’s deffo been a tough day form energy standpoint not so much because of diet but I had only just over 2 hours sleep. My sleep really is shocking no real consistency hoping things improve. Ordered to do a little as possible today, so spent my day mainly doing client work and trying to switch off where possible

The fact that you feel great, 4 days de-load will be more than enough for you here

Another session today where it was not my most productive. Bit of a struggle and I don’t think a 2hr30 round trip on the motorway today helped me before training legs today but it was a drive that couldn’t be avoided. Numbers were down today and energy is definitely down. Tomorrow is a rest day for me but still a fair bit to get through, but I’m hopeful by Thurs I will be feeling a better than I have the last few days

Taking am and pm can help especially you are holding a lot of inflammation this is personally how I dose it for myself with an on going shoulder injury but take it very first thing in the morning away from your training window. If it will be too close to training, then go with full dose pre bed

Upper session today, trained a little later than normal to go to the gym same time as kerry to put her through some posing post workout. My session today wasn’t that good, pain in my shoulder and energy was down but I did my best for today and that’s what counts

Hi guys, back to my normal step count today 12.5k daily. Tomorrow I will be back to full training too, after an additional rest day on Friday from bad sleep. Went over the ultraflex today with kerry because she had an in person check in with Meg, which was good for her to see her in person and for me to help out with driving.

My take is when you cook / prepare your own food you know exactly what the quality is. Chicken preparation is you are trying to save time I would say to batch cook it and then freeze it. You can’t beat fresh food!

Sorry mate, it’s not clear what you are trying to say here. Can you try explaining again

Hi guys
No training for me today, another day trying to keep steps lower and resting. I did have an in person check in / posing client today but other than that and some food cooking I’ve not done much else movement wise. I’ll see where I am at tomorrow and the plan of action from Kuba

Hey Man! Much thanks for taking the time to reply back.
Firstly, i am not payed as I mentioned he is a friend. I have already practiced before as mentioned for every high day weve experimented everything and found that on the 3rd day after his high day thats when he would look the leanest, sharpest and also loaded. the questions I shared at the top is for my own growth and understanding. I am still in the process of learning various things which is why I dont charge yet unless i have more experienced. I have already asked countless people I know so I can understand how the do things. Every coach has a different way to go about and I intend to have some information from everyone as a tool I could use someday in the future. Please consider the questions generic for knowledge purpose only.
this is my very point tho – there is nothing generic about a peak week – its almost impossible for us to give advice here as its all based on learning how this client responds to the work you do during prep – that is what dictates how you run into peak week.
Then its his response daily to what you are doing that then dictates how you make any changes to the process.
so its still up to you to do the testing and see what works for him which is why I said if you have 2 weeks do a trial – I literally run a complete peak week trial with clients up to even a mock show day most of the time with a mock stage time -so I can asses exactly what we did and what worked and what may be better and then adapt things based on this feedback.
For me this is always the best course of action especially if you have not done this before or not done alot of it – this is were you learn how that client responds and what you find yourself works best [/quote]
I fully agree with Hilly and his comments on all of his replies. -
Morning guys, bodyweight has spiked up almost 2kg overnight. Another pretty rubbish sleep for me and check in feedback from Kuba is to take today as a rest day and we will re-assess where I am tomorrow. Definitely frustrating as I was stringing together some really good sessions, especially on legs but I need to work with my body here to keep moving forwards. So rest it is today keeping steps low. Have a good end to your week all!!

New low weight today, 0.4kg down on yesterday so that puts me at 122.4kg this morning fasted. Sleep was pretty shocking last night, once I’m awake with my shoulder that’s it takes me forever to get back to sleep. Had an upper session today, it definitely was not my best workout but still gave what I could to the session. Hoping for a much better sleep tonight
