Had a great hams and glutes session today starting to really get a good connection in my glutes now I’ve really struggled with it previously. I’m not sure what the switch has been but I really think about where I want to target each time I start a rep, I’ve started using my bands when competing movements like leg press and stiff legs plus I’ve taken weight down at the start of offseason focused on form and then built back up with weight and also started doing some activation work at the start of each workout…so maybe I just answered my own question on what is different haha.

Anyway session went as follow

Hams and Glutes
Single leg curl x2
Single leg hip thrust x3 and hip thrust
Banded leg press x2 second set RP 20 second go again 15 second go again
Dumbells stiff leg dead’s banded
X2 10 15
Single leg press x3 6 10 15
Seated leg curl x2 Rp on second set
Calf’s x2

So yesterday was leg day…felt a little sluggish going into my session, sleeps been long but I don’t feel rested when I wake so not sure what’s happening.

After my pre and warm up felt good to go though (PREpare is amazing good pump no come down)

Session was:
Leg press pause at bottom
Pendulum
Smith Split squat (foot on bench)
Hip Thrusts
DB Leg curl
Single leg curl
Lightweight stiffs

All set 1 8-20 reps, set 2 12-15

Hey meg question for you

With the hip thrust machine would you say you move way less load than you would with a barbell ?

I struggle to feel a good contraction like I do with bb with the same load maybe @kuba1000hotmail-co-uk-cielen would know as well

Depends on the machine, best way. Disregard load and nail form first and foremost. Suck your stomach in contract glutes then proceed with the rep. You will find connection is 100% better but reps will be a ton harder

Thank you I’ll give that a go today , where should the belt be on me as well maybe I’m doing that wrong [/quote]
Hi Jeannie,

I used to focus on load do moving it for moving sake & saw no progress in glutes. Now like Kuba said I focus on form and timing of my breathing to get a good connection. I don’t move as much weight as before but I’ll work up to it with great form x

Hi Meg ???? thank you so much that means a lot! Yes I totally agree! I usually wear a weave on show day as my own hair is super thin at the ends and is also naturally curly so just looks so messy the moment I feel the stage heat haha! So I’m thinking the weave but a natural wave ????

Ah yes definitely helps thank you! I agree, that first time you use a chest pad after and its like ‘woah what the hell!?’ haha! I don’t know if you’re the same, but I struggle with movements that include a hang or stretch – like a lat pull down, pull up, hanging leg raise – the sides of my pec are just sooo weak now!

Hope you’re well, looking awesome as always! ???? x

Yes I definitely think a weave just adds thickness I’ve never used them but trailing them now and I never want to take it out haha, think your hair looked bang in last year!

Yeah I find I have to get my body in a specific position to not feel uncomfortable and stronger. I’ve got to have mine re done this year so got to start all over again xx

Apart from my heavy leg days I don’t suffer severely from DOMs as long as your making progress in the gym & body is improving don’t worry!

Most important meals are all day got to fuel all day just certain macros should be hit pre and post for maximum recovery.
Set your macros, split that off into 6/7 smaller meals and then just split them over the day don’t focus on having specific time between as long as they are split evenly.
I like to split mine for longer though the day then have more closer together at night because that’s when I’m most hungry ????

So today is check in day! And I’m down by 0.5kg (57.2kg) mini cut is going well and lost 2.5kg so far.
There are some improvements that NEED to be made before I step on stage – back density, all lower body and delts especially so they pop more on my side pose!
I’m still completely off any AS and training is still feeling great a little less strong this week but I’m back at work so not felt AS fresh going into sessions.
PICS ARE BELOW

Today is back day I will post my session later ????????

For the following 6 weeks post show I wouldn’t change anything it’s worked in prep so why not now.

Give your body a week off training but don’t go silly with diet.

You’ll get more enjoyment back once more foods introduced trust me ????

IMO
