Thank you everyone that has had an input. The last thing I wanted to do was disrespect or undermine my coach I am just new to the process and not quite sure how I should look 6 weeks out. He’s confident and seems to have worked till now so I will put my faith in him 100%

That’s the best way to be leave the thinking to him you just do what is asked – looking great for 6 weeks out!

@kuba1000hotmail-co-uk-cielen loves it & has it with eggs, tomato and spring onion every rest day! It’s a great source of protein ????????

I don’t think you need to refeed at this point – refeed only when body really needs it not when you feel like you need it. Again like the boys said go with what your coach is saying.
Looking great through – hope you’re enjoying the the process of your first prep ????

Today was back hams and glutes day – was my first proper session since my op – managed to get 100kg on stiff legs so I’m happy with that need to work on progressing back up with my lifts again. My session is in the picture below and I did all variation 2 of exercises ????

So today was check in sitting at 58kg I’m not too happy with pics today and Kuba agrees it’s not greatest I’ve looked but training had only got back to normal since my op this week. Just so frustrating because things were going so well pre op, diets been on point and I’m working hard so I can’t be annoyed with myself (even though I am ????)

Just ensure form is perfect may be pushing too much weight – drop it down & build up again

Hi Meg,

Loving following the log.

1) What do you do for a living?

2) If you had to round up three people for the most intense training session of your life, who would they be?

3) If you could only eat one source of protein for the remainder of the year, what would that be?

4) Was there any bro myths you followed when you first got into bodybuilding that you now look back at and think “what the fuck was I doing?”

5) Do you watch any YouTube in your spare time? if so, who do you like to watch?

6) What body-parts do you think you need to bring up the most?

Have a nice day!

Hi Isaac!

Hope you’re well!

1. I’m a corporate finance manager, yourself?

2. Hmmmm… Corinne, Dana Linn Bailey and Stefi Cohen – what about you?

3. Turkey can do all sorts with it how about you?

4. A did a bro Split for a really long time thinking that would be best for my development now and I look back and think wtf how about you?

5. I don’t have too much spare time but Kuba has it on in the house I love watching Antoine Valliant – do you watch any?

6. It would have to be my hams and glutes – what about you? Do you compete?

Meg

2. Jay Cutler, Johnnie Jackson and Branch Warren
