Another very snowy day here in Yorkshire, I love the snow but it’s crazy how much things come to a stop, very annoyed my food shop didn’t come haha. Ah first world problems.

Looking forward to getting in to get my glutensession tomorrow going to be absolutely fantastic

Today is a normal rest day – work, walk, food prep, eat, more work and sleep

I agree with Clare –

Going very basic with food and no added sauces / sweetners / seasonings.

Adding things in one thing at a time over a long period of time to figure out what it is that’s causing it

I’m unsure and looking at it I’m guessing you’re in more of a push – sometimes I find when it’s time to diet / pull back and re set with that, this can be one sign the body is ready for that

It’s a SNOW day here in the UK.

I love the snow, it was nice to get out with the dog this morning she gets the zoomies and so excited when she gets out in it. For me snows like the sun for most haha it’s a feel good.

But the worst thing is the UK comes to a halt lol they don’t salt the roads etc so everything closes, not like when I was little that anyone who do anything to make things keep functioning ( I sound like an old lady )

The easiest to eat / digest is person dependant

For me in a gaining phases sushi rice always is best as it’s easy to cook very low vol

If you can recover you can for sure train a body part more frequently especially if it’s need to come up for you is great

I don’t think 5% is bad – just the 0% is a leaner choice which is why as bodybuilders we go for it

Hi Meg

What have you done to help your knees recover so you can barbell squat again?

I had stem cells 2 years ago – plus honestly just learning to train well with good tempo

Eval blood analysis did great post on this yesterday

Good blood testing companies will ask what you’ve done prior to bloods eating drinking etc

I’d just say make sure your hydrated, ideally before you train not after and if you’re eaten it’s all good

My question to you is

Is your physique progressing?

Are you your lifts progressing?

Are you truly training to failure

Leg Day

Was a good one –

Leg curl x 3
Leg ext x 2
Squat x 1
Leg press x 1
Hip thrust x 2
Press through x 2

Strength block starts here, thanks to the gods for stems cells for painless squatting for knees now that I’ve waited over a year and recovered from my prep

As the guys mention above

Lat work gives you the width, getting them bigger will make them wider and more dense over time

Thickness to your back will be your upper back, mid back, erector and trap thickness

Hey All

It depends on your goals?

Do you want all round physique then you probably need to hit legs more often if they aren’t a “strong” body part

So instead of this why don’t you do PP OFF L OFF repeat and just lower leg session volume for now
