    Here I would get consistency. Set step target 10-15k is a big difference. Then with food stick to a set plan then you know exactly what you are eating. Until you are doing this you are not dieting you are thinking about it but not doing. Get after it and then keep us updated in a few weeks time

    Not to much to update on today. Rest day for me today so my usual sports massage treatment. A few in person posing clients and coaching clients updates. Also met up with Rob canon for a coffee and catch up today, basically talked bodybuilding lol

    Legs session today over at Shredz gym. I’ve not trained here for a while but today went back to the gym that I mainly trained out of for my last off-season.

    Great gym and environment. All my usual exercises today but with some changes with the equipment available. Session today was;

    Gym shop adductor x2
    Prime lying leg curl x2 + 1 extra set unilateral
    Prime leg extension x2 +1 extra set left side
    Leg press x2 +1 extra set unilateral
    45 degree hypers x1
    Seated calf raise x2

    Prime kit was plate loaded so 25%loaded middle peg and 75%top peg

    Enjoyed my session today, and happy with how it went.

    On a side note, I took my 7 year daughter to her swimming lesson today and she’s now been moved up to stage 5 after only 4 weeks. Proud parent moment 🙂

    Even based of these two pictures I would strongly advise to end the cut and getting growing bud. Don’t waste value time here, get into a surplus and push bodyweight up steadily for a decent amount of months

    Push session today, decent workout. All my usual exercises not much has changed with this session and for the last few weeks this session has been at different gyms. Progress wise not as easy to log sessions, but I’m giving what I can in each workout and to me that’s what counts.

    Hunger is certainly up, but training day today so a little higher with calories compared to the weekend which was rest days.

    Chilled day today as it’s a rest day. Spent the day with my youngest daughter and Kerry, played down the park today also (well i tried to keep up with them ha)

    Check in feedback from Kuba today, one week into plan and starting to see a few lines appear in my quads. Still early days, but I’m excited to see how the next 8 weeks or so unfold

    Agree with what the guys have said already, especially if your form is correct this is something that needs to be looked at by a specialist

    I’d definitely think about adding some veg into your whole meals to get micronutrients in. As the team have said already, meal 3 I would swap the Rice Krispies to something like rice instead. If you haven’t already, a rest day food plan would be a good call to have with slightly lower carbs compared to training day.

    Rest day today! Definitely noticed hunger being up today, which I’m surprised Im noticing it so soon. Im not sure exact calories that were dropped but Kuba did say if we were doing a prep cut calories wouldn’t have been cut this much, so maybe a significant amount.

    Anyway, a day with my youngest daughter today I took her to the hairdressers then we went round to see some friends who were having a bbq (of course I had my prep food)

    Increase based off the plan you’ve been following and monitor progress and increase cals as you see warranted!

    sorry only just seen this but thank you. weights down another 1.8lbs in 2 days with calories sat 400 above where i finished but will see how the week plays out. i did change from 1.5g to 1g per lbs BW so 260g to 174g protein not sure if that could potentially be impacting things?[/quote]

    This will be as really there wasn’t a need to adjust protein. Just add additional carbs to your previous plan. Protein will help recovery and building lean muscle so I’d get protein back to where it was. You don’t need to drop protein to make room for carbs [/quote]

    no worries thanks but do you not think 1.5g per lbs bodyweight is abit excessive if i can get away with having it at 1-1.2g? is there any benefit to having it higher?[/quote]
    You had it at 1.5g per lbs, did you run into any issues then?

    Leg session today and last training session of the week. Sleep last night was my worst in a while, not sure why just felt wide awake forever.

    Spoke with Kuba this morning and sometimes these things happen but he said to still get at it with de-volume.

    …well de-volume went out the window. Managed to flick a switch today and I beat all of my last weeks numbers which felt good and I did not do de-volume done all of my working sets. Just goes to show the mind is a powerful when used correctly!

    The diet planner is there as a guide. Even as athletes we all have different approaches which can see effectively get us to our goals. So similar with the diet planner, use it as a template and adjust to fit what’s suitable to help your goals
