What do you do for your knee problems? 🙂
Use a lighter weight especially on compound exercises and use more tempo and ensure range of movement is good. I always have at least one unilateral exercise in my workouts to ensure each side is focused on solely. Supplement wise I use tbjp join-in osteo pro and cure-coming daily which really do help. I do find knee sleeves when training help to keep my joints warm too

what did your coach say when you asked him bud? Its this stuff you pay him for? You need to trust in him 100%
This all to me makes sense to me tho
I thought about what you said more, the fact that I asked whether if it’s good or not means I wasn’t trusting him completely yet. I am indeed following his diet and program but not 100% trust yet which I’ve realized as I reflected on it more. It’s my first time having a coach, I will work on trusting him 100%. Thanks for the feedback by the way.[/quote]I wouldn’t say you didn’t trust him completely but you wanted a second opinion. Your coach from what you wrote has made all the right changes and your adherence to following the plan will be key. I will add unless it’s something that really doesn’t sit right with you then from here you need to listen to Just your coach. Too many opinions can ruin the process as you then begin to second guess his plan and that can be a recipe for disaster

Solid session today, I trained legs. Definitely felt tired going into the session after all the driving I’ve done the last two days… but it was a good one. Took it there with all my sets and walked away knowing I had a good one. Hunger is very high right now and weight is still trending down even after the food increases post mini cut. Midweek check in tomorrow so I’ll see what Kuba says feedback wise and let you guys know

Your runway here for pushing up is very good. I agree with the team taper food up slowly, don’t rush it and you can potentially keep growing for a good period of time here. Great work

Day 1 of increased food…. But no training today. I should have been training push today, but Kerry last minute before boarding her plane back from Romania asked if I could pick her up from the airport (quite a drive away) so instead of rushing a workout I’ve moved my 4 day training back by a day which works ok for me as I haven’t got my kids this weekend. I think it’s important to train and not feel rushed so making this change today seemed the most logical thing to do. Looking forward to getting after it tomorrow

Hi guys, rest day for me. I was up early and on the motorway this morning driving just over 100miles each way to watch my client compete.
Check in feedback from Kuba today, as expected a bump up in food. My condition has got tighter from the increased food as average weight reduced from the week before last so now we step it up with increased food from today,
Kerry competed out in Romania today, so so proud of her she placed 5th in her bikini pro show out of 18 athletes. Her and Meg did a great job, so pleased with the result. If it wasn’t for a few things I had going on here I would have been out there with her.

A day spent with my youngest daughter today, played some games at home and done some shopping too.
,check in pics sent over to Kuba for feedback tomorrow so looking forward to see what that will be tomorrow. Hunger is definitely up, which is a nice feeling compared to before my mini cut when I was sick off food lol I’d definitely take a good increase from tomorrow but I’ll wait to see what the feedback is and as always follow the plan

Can you give an example of how you would get 300 grams of protein? Peter
60g of protein over 5 meals
Or 50g protein over 6 meals [/quote]
Sir, I asked in terms of nutrition and grammage, but[/quote]
Seems like you want a diet plan writing for you but it doesn’t work like that. We help to guide you so that you can make these decisions and form a plan. If unsure seek a coach. If you want to try, Input food into an app like my fitness pal and look at the totals until you get the required number. It’s a simple as that really -
Decent last session of the week today. Strength today crept up on hamstring isolation exercises standing leg curl and seated leg curl. Today I took out pendulums as this is an exercise that feel pressure on my knee so I went with hip leg pressure which felt really good. Hunger is definitely up right now. Even with food increase from last week and two days with off plan meal my average weight is still 0.8kg down on last week. Check in pics and form being sent over tomorrow for feedback Sunday so I’ll see what Kuba says

Really good pull session today. Feeling like I’m really clicking with my training partner which has been great to help push me on.
Sent another check in pics to Kuba this morning Weight was the same this morning as yesterday so the plan was to remove a whole meal and have an off plan meal again as weight is still lower on average compared to last week even with the higher calories post mini cut

Midweek check in sent over to Kuba today. Im leaner again today even with the mini cut ending last week Friday. Plan of action was to eat my usual rest day food then remove the last meal and have an off plan meal. Eat, but not go crazy like a hungry bodybuilder was the feedback lol which I’m all good with. Tomorrow morning I’ll be taking pics again to send over, as we want to see my bodyweight creeping up.
This gives me a good idea that if I had been on prep just how responsive my body would have been which is great to know.
Today was a rest day, so my usual sports massage. Kerry flew out to Romania as she’s competing this weekend. Unfortunately I won’t be at the show due to parental duties and some important apportionments that I can’t miss.

You wouldn’t be increasing calories in a maintenance phase that would be counterproductive. Clare has explained well how you would approach this. As for peds you would drop down to a TRT dose like Jordan has said for the timeframe you run this phase for

Good to get in the gym today and train legs after last week being off with my knee. Knee felt ok today, quad exercises I reduced the weight slight and worked in higher rep ranges. Completed everything in my plan with no pain so I’m very happy about that.
Exercises today,
Lying leg curl
Leg extension
Pivot leg press
Single leg 45 degree leg press
Db SLDL
Adductor
Seated calf raise -
In for push today. Had a solid session, noticed again today I didn’t get that full feeling that i had pre diet but it’s about being patient with food and calories going up so I’m sure it will come. Hunger is high, but it’s not the focus progress is

Keep going up slowly 200 calories at a time, your body adapts up and down metabolically
As long as your training performance is up you are good 🙂
