Rest day today. Mid week Check in sent over to Kuba and feedback on a few exercises was really helpful. We had a good conversation on environment especially around training. I definitely know there’s some levels to go with my training and i genuinely believe my environment will play a part here, so there are things for me to think about.
Massage today also, some work on my back and legs – much needed
Really enjoying watching your journey mate. Environment is something I need to consider myself as I end up training in where I’m working and or on shift[/quote]
Hi Eamon thanks mate. I’ve been there before in the past when I worked in a gym as a PT I also trained there because it was convenient. But there came a point where I had to put my own progress first, because you can’t commit fully when people still think you are on shift and ask questions all the time when training is your time. Be selfish with your journey. If something doesn’t sit well with you, take action -
I think beginners should spend the majority of their time in a surplus and growing, only tidying up when absolutely necessary. I would go by the visual look, as well as performance, appetite and digestion as to when it’s time to pull back. Then I’d get as lean as possible in the first cut to prime the body again for another decent push up. If you take things slow and steady you’ll be able to get a long run in a surplus before needing to diet again.
X2 I completely agree with this

I agree with all the comments above. I also believe putting yourself in the right environment to maximise your progress is equally important too

I agree with Ryan and Clare. Continue to diet and get leaner as this will definitely help with resorting appetite and also put you in a better place to steadily increase calories when you push back up.
In terms of your injury, If you haven’t already I’d get an assessment to see what’s causing your injuries and how you can work around this / improve the areas that cause you pain so that you can progress your training

Hi Jack
I have just come across your question. You’ve been given all the right advice here from the guys with pushing back food up slowly,
But what I wanted to say is great work bud, really solid work. You should be proud of this, keep up this work ethic! I’m impressed

Hi guys
Coaches order was to rest as a busy weekend and from travelling back from the expo. Sleep last night wasn’t great, in bed for over 8 hours but just over 6 hours recorded rest so definitely feel rested.
So day spent doing client work and an online client bodybuilding posing session. Appetite has definitely picked up this last 7 days or so in maintenance phase lol typical this is my last week now before heading into a deficit, but it is what it is.
Training volume has been adjusted also for when I’m back in the gym, so I will keep you posted on what that will be when I’m training next.

If it’s not something that you’ve noticed before until recently and the fact it’s on your mind go and get expert advice from a doctor.

Day travelling back from london after the tru athlete games yesterday.
Checked in with Kuba this morning, he’s happy with were I am at currently in this maintenance phase. Bodyweight held consistently the 3 days at 133.1kg which we are both very happy about. I’ve also seen my appetite pick over this last week which is a good sign…. But, 1 more week to go in maintenance before heading into a short cut.
Nipped to see my parents today also 46 years married today!

It’s mad that this is even an issue, I could understand if it was something like salmon but this isn’t even bad.
For me when I worked in a sports centre and they wouldn’t let me eat regularly, I would eat in the toilet. Maybe not the best place to eat, but my goal is my goal.
Same for yourself. I’d eat in the toilet or see if your work would allow you to shorten your lunch break into smaller breaks to allow you to get your food in

Day at the tru athlete expo today with the tbjp team! Great to catch up with the team, as events like this don’t happen very often.
Was good to see Corinne smash her comp today too.
Watched some of the bodybuilding show and spoke with other coaches, friends and people who follow me which is always cool.
Long few days! Looking forward to a decent sleep tonight before heading back home tomorrow

Legs ticked off a little earlier than usual today before heading down to excel london for the tru athlete expo tomorrow and Sunday with the tbjp team.
Caught a little of the amateur bodybuilding show today and also watched the 212 pro show, really good standard.

I had no idea ur suppose to weigh it raw, also, ive been thinking ive been having 150g of rice krispies just by taking 1.5dl of it and eating it from the cup, apparently 1 dl is only 10g weighed 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Raw or cooked weight comes down to your chosen method for the foods you are eating

Enter the product into myfitness pal or look on the back of the packet. Always calculate the raw weight though to be more accurate.
All different on my fitness pal[/quote]
If you are using my fitness pal I would then scan the barcode in of the rice that you are using. There’s often discrepancies when using these sort of apps, so if this is your preferred choice stick with the same rice you choose for consistency
