    Have you had a conversation with his coach if he has one about any specific training outside of the sessions that would benefit him?

    Not the best workout today by any means. My shoulder wasn’t feeling to good during todays pull session. Attempted to change some exercises but was still feeling some pain / restrictions so I thought better of it trying to continue as I didn’t want to make it worse. Definitely frustrating as it’s the last thing I wanted to do but I needed to listen to my body here so I didn’t make things worse

    I’m with the guys who say get it done privately. Just like getting/having your private blood tests, do the same here and go private.

    Hi guys

    Today was a rest day… client check ins, sports massage, haircut, and an in person posing client. Also went to see my parents for a little while too.

    Mid week check in sent over to Kuba and positive feedback. For where I am in this maintenance phase my bodyweight is holding well and we really are solidifying this new muscle tissue. Exciting times!

    It’s important to look at your physique and know what needs the most attention. The example density day from JP is a guide. If there’s anything you think you would like to adapt / trial give it a go. Key is progression, so be sure to give it a good run before you change things around

    Solo Leg session today! Session went ok, still on a de-volume this week getting back after some rest days so no pbs were hit today but was good to load up some decent weight.

    All my usual exercises today;

    Adductor
    Lying leg curl
    *sldl
    Leg ext
    Leg press
    Hack squat
    Seated calf raise

    *I actually didn’t do SLDL, my shoulder / lat was feeling pretty tight and after doing a few feeder sets I thought better of it than making it worse.

    Back at it today after my rest days last week. My session went really good. Mentally locked in, body felt rested and I had a really good session.

    All my usual push exercises today, but I swapped out cable flat press for the nautilus leverage chest press which felt good. The narrow cable stack was in use and to be honest I was going to wait over 5 mins for it today I just wanted to crack on.

    Happy with the session overall. Just a point here that listening to your body / communication with your coach is key!

    Day at the arcades today with the family, some downtime before back at it tomorrow in the gym with de-volume push.

    Feedback from Kuba today, a few more weeks here in maintenance before heading into a deficit. Bodyweight is holding around 133kg, so this last 3 weeks not much shift really just around 1kg with some water dropping off. Looking forward to coming down a few kg to see how I’m looking before the push back up

    Great work here Luke. If you wanted to wait another 2 weeks you could, but equally if you wanted to start to push back up gradually that would also be fine to do. Set some timelines for your push up also so you don’t stay in that phase longer than you need too

    Solid work! Don’t focus on what could have been now though, focus on the hear and now. Keep mailing each day and the rewards / progress will soon stack up!

    Not much happening today. Been a day spent with my youngest daughter and Kerry. Check in pics / update sent over to Kuba this morning for feedback tomorrow.

    Watched the pre-judging for Tampa pro show. Hunter definitely has that show in the bag. Excites me watching these shows, can’t wait to be back up there next year

    Legs was on the menu today. Plan was to go in with de-volume. Felt so tired as the day went on so decided it’s best I didn’t train so I took today as another rest day. I hate resting, but I also know I need to listen to my body so that’s what I did today

    Guys thank you for your kind words. I feel like my body does not need to cut to grow right now. So in 6 weeks i will show check in and then decide what to do.

    This is a good move bud. Rinse this growing phase a little longer and again if unsure come
    Back to us and let us know. Solid work!!

    If your weight is going up then you are still in a surplus so need to adjust your food by eating more carbs. If your weight is going down you aren’t in a calorie surplus so you will need to increase your food.

    Hi guys…

    Rest day today, second rest in a row on the back of how my first two sessions went for this week.

    I had my massage today instead of my usual day yesterday because I went to Sheffield for the tbjp clothing shoot. Client work, steps and haircut made up the rest of my day.
