Update on the minicut…weight has stayed the same this week from last week even though I had a slight drop at the beginning.
Check in has been sent over to Kuba so will see what he says in terms of plan of attack for the next week so I’ll keep you updated.
I’m feeling great when I’m training because I’m allowing a good amount of rest time between using the same muscle group
Some pics below ????
I’ve been off anavar now for 4weeks prior to that I was from Jan -March I don’t feel much different when training and not with recovery either hope to keep muscle and still improve whilst nothing extra is added

I always use the stair master during prep, except the last couple of weeks we switched to bike to reduce water held.

Stair master is hard but again I only did AM cardio so had all day to feed into my training

Stubborn fat will eventually come off we all have areas which are harder than others..

Session went as follows:
Incline DB Press
Smith Machine Shoulder Press
Single arm lay raise
Laying lay raise
BB front raise
Rear fly on machine
Bicep Curl (EZ)

All lifts I do a warm up, the a second awake up on heavy lifts (presses) then set 1 reps 8-10 and 2nd set reps 12-15

I’m seeing some development in upper body but really want to see more progress in my lower now…coach seems happy but I’m not haha!

I stick to higher proteins/fats and low carbs on rest days, I struggle to get carbs down on those days, gives stomach a break after heavier carbs on training days

The Strom Sports Vacumax from supplement needs is real good. However I get no crash or itchy/tingly feeling from Prepare either 🙂

Zero carb after a couple days of relaxing is good to get body comp back to a good stead to then start upping cals gradually. If you up too much too soon you’re digestion won’t thank you ☺️

Had a really great upper session today which went as follows:
High incline chest press( target front lat here and upper pec tie in ) v2 high incline dumbell press
Seated shoulder press / v 2 smith machine
Single arm side lat cuffed on cable v2 side lateral machine
Lying cuffed Side lateral
Reverse pec dec v2 bent over lateral
Front raises ( dumbbell seated on incline bench ) v2 use barbell or cable front raise with bar
Tricep dip ( use benches ) v2 use bodyweight on dip stand
Bicep curl ( use ez bar ) v2 bicep curl machine
So almost like a push session with som extra top ups.
Still feeling strong but also having one of those days were I’m not too sure I’m “big” enough/developed enough for Figure just yet only time will tell!

Had a really busy day today…
I started work at 8 over in Leeds so needed to walk the dog & sort breakfast before leaving.
I had 2 appointments today with clients one was a fraud presentation to a group of 60 lawyers and then my second was sorting some lending agreements with a customer. All went well & then finished off my admin before my back ham and glutes session.
I love this session starting to get a real connection in my glutes like I do with my back so hopefully will help with development. Tried out the new Prime kit and new Prepare both are amazing ???? Got a busy 10 days off work now, all will be revealed soon…….

Morning all…
I’ve been really struggling with tendonitis in my knee for the last few months, but I’ve added in a couple anti inflammatory supps in the morning as I wake up and finally starting to feel less sore and able to train legs without my knee strap it’s the curcumin (1 teaspoon) and 1 tab of the boswellia serrata both from Supplement Needs. If your struggling with any tendon/ligament issues maybe give it a go ????????
