Evening All ❤️

Had a great day – got up nice and early and took the pups on a walk and then went to the hospital for my post op they are super happy with how I’ve healed so quickly & have minimal bruising so that’s great said I can do some light weight exercise (so going to do my version of lightweight exercise as obviously that’s different to a “normal” person)

So in the afternoon I went to the gym and did session attached – still staying off upper for a while but felt good to get my legs moving going to do a one on one off for lower and focus on lots of single leg work for now till I can go back to my failure sessions. I did the single leg hack variation that is on Kuba and Jinny’s leg video which was posted today and it is a killer!

Then I spent the evening with my lovely friend her 3 dogs and my 2 which was amazing.

Really struggled with appetite today well for the last week but felt more hungry tonight so loaded up my meal to make up for the lack during the day.

Tomorrow is a rest day I’m getting my lashes done, my hair blow dried (felt like treating myself seen as it’s my birthday on Thursday ????) and dog walking plus going to see my grandparents ????

I’ve personally seen more progress with my physique doing a PPL
however it’s very much down the person

Hi,
I have a lifestyle client currently who can only commit to 3 training days in the gym due to having a small baby too.
She trains Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
We’ve programmed:
upper
lower
hams & glutes session with some top up work on lagging body parts.
She enjoys it more than full body as it’s more lower specific & most females want that to grow rather than the upper body. It’s really been good progress wise in her physique
I make sure she stays active every other day with dog walks/pranks walks too.
Hope that helps ☺️

So we’ve just finished off at the 2bros show in Watford. Had one of the boys from our Gym competing in the morning and he took 3rd which was amazing to see & then the pro show was absolutely incredible to watch – I know my end goal and what I want but seeing that level of competitor really gets you fired up. Was great to see James take home 3rd too he’s hard working, humble and a real good role model for any young competitor he does it for his sheer love for competing so great to see him do so well.

Back home tonight & up in the morning for cardio with my little doggies ????

Due to having dodgy feet and knees I feel much better when doing leg press over squats- I still add in variants of squats within my lower sessions using belt squats and Smith squats as good for targeting the glutes

Hi All,

Hope you’ve had a lovely day – so today I got up prepped everything for Watford then went on long walk with the doggos they were struggling though with it being super warm so got them home with lots of water and a cold towel on there back

Then I went to the gym and did a little bit of a light leg session felt good!
Now to make our way to 2bros for the comp tomorrow ❤️

Hey!
So from my accident I had to get my left calf to catch up to my right. Which actually made it bigger than my right within a couple months. I feel unilateral work on lagging parts really helps to fire them maybe try some single leg calf work alongside the usual. I also hit this each lower body day so 2-3 times per week

Check in day and I’m down 1 kilo since my op – obviously no training this week just walking with the dogs to stay active. It hurts to flair my lat at the min so pics aren’t great but Kuba is still relatively happy

It’s a meal of your choice that is different to your current meals to replace one. I like to go for a carby meal ☺️

I always find this happens when I come down deep into a deficit that I find it hard to put weight on stick to the reverse diet plan when body is back to normal it will start to increase

Evening all ☺️☺️
Feeling much more myself today so I’m happy about that I just can’t seem to wake up in a morning since my op do not like me ???? so tomorrow I’m setting my alarm for 7 and getting up and checking in.

Anyway today was good I saw my parents, went house shopping and saw Toy Story 4 if you haven’t seen it you must it’s a lovely watch.

Yes definitely I started having it at the start of my offseason and loved it

Meg Sylvester IFBBPRO

Agree with Clare completely it does definitely depend on how active your rest days are.
Personally I do my fasted cardio – then I lean more towards pro fat and protein through the day as my job isn’t very active. Then at night I walk with the dogs and get ready for the days training so add in a carb meal as my second to last meal.
The pro fat/protein also helps me with appetite on training days as I was struggling before when I was having lots of carbs in on training days. Again there is no one size fits all play with it and see which is best for you

Setting goals helped me this offseaon – whether that be progress within the gym or another aesthetic goal it’s good to keep them rolling as you have less time to think about being less conditioned

Feeling so much better – went out walking with the dogs yesterday, did some stair master and went out with the dogs again this morning and feel better for it.

I’ve got my post op checks on Monday so kind of holding off with anything until they’ve said they are happy with everything. As it’s my second time having the op doctor said recovery should be much easier and quicker but I don’t want to rush too early and get problems further down the line ☺️
