All of the above is true, every show my girlfriend has competed in who’s also a pro bodybuilder her cycle has gone, something that’s part of the process to get the level of conditioned needed. So be mindful of this and work to get her cycle back post show as soon as possible

Do you have one set food plan each day? If you do, I’d then introduce a rest day food plan where you can pull carbs down a little lower. This way you will have two food plans to follow and further create a calorie deficit. Do you count your daily steps? If not this is something I would suggest as you can increase this over time and not so taxing on your body if your spread your steps out throughout the day

Fasted cardio 20mins on the stairmaster, followed by abs and some shoulder rehab bits. Been out with my daughter today with kerry, they both got their nails done and we also went window shopping getting ideas for her 8th birthday coming up soon. Going to get an off plan meal tonight, not sure what we are going for but Kerry keeps saying sushi so I guess that’s that lol. Had just short of 8 hours sleep last night so I deffo want to keep that going.

Completely agree with all the comments above here. It happens and we can’t push through. Take a step back to help you reset before you get back to growing

Hi guys
Rest day for me today and deffo needed. Been a busy day, client work ticked off early morning, then a day spent with my youngest daughter who I’ve got overnight also.
Average bodyweight is up by 0.1kg this week so Kuba has bumped my food up. Visually this is the best my legs and looked in both condition and size at this bodyweight of just over 128kg. Simply a case of rinse and repeat!

I count overall fats from direct sources and trace. The team have covered it with 60g not being too low. If your aren’t doing so already you could have a food plan for both training day and rest day with slightly higher fats and lower carbs on your rest day

Good end to my training week. Energy has been down the last few days and I won’t lie I was not up for today’s leg session at all. But I turned up, gave it 100% hit some solid numbers and even set a new pb on the Cybex squat press of 11 plates per side for 10 reps + 1 set. Definitely happy with that and goes to show even on the days when down with energy and motivation there’s still a job to be done!

Not something I’ve experienced from one working set. What is your rest sleep like in terms of duration/ quality?
-
Rubbish night sleep yesterday, I didn’t get more than 4 hours sleep even with me going sleep early mind was active. Definitely tired today, managed to drag myself through the day to get work and gym done. Hoping for a better sleep tonight

yes this is a very normal approach – just be careful of Hypo issues as the more sensitive we become during a cut the more likely these are to occur – even on a low dose
Agree with this comment.

Midweek check in today. Kuba is happy bodyweight is climbing slowly and body comp in a great spot. No changes today to food plan, everything is as it was. Rest day today, sports massage this morning which was deffo needed. Majority of the day filled with client work and some consult calls. Off to sleep now, got a date with the stairmaster in the morning lol

I always find taking my morning supps with meal 1 and my PM supps 30 mins pre bed is fine bud
This is how I do my set up with supps also and found it’s worked best for me

Solo leg session today and it was a good one. With no spot for the majority of my sets so I didn’t get a spot for some force reps, I made sure on the straight sets I pushed for that extra rep and I pretty much got that. Gym Leco hip leg press new pb 3.5 pps top peg and 3pps bottom peg 7 reps + 1, so I was really happy with that. I feel like this is the best my legs have looked so this gets me extra fuel to keep on pushing for more

Get your rest in from now. Then from there have a rough idea when you plan to have you next de-load. This could be 6 weeks time, but you may get to 6 weeks and feel fine. It might not be until week 7 or 8 you start to see signs of needing a de-load or some rest days so that at that point you plan to take it. You will get tired at times, so having good sleep, nutrition and enough training volume for your goal whilst allowing recovery is key for progression
