278.8k a this AM

Start of the load! 1325g gone in today.

Got up 3 hard rounds posing 11 minutes on the video.

Then a round 90 mins after every meal and post workout 10 full rounds posing plus legs plus 13k steps

8 litres of water. I have gradually got drier and fuller as the day has gone on.

Tomorrow we will repeat on rest day. Which will potentially have us about at peak glycogen saturation if not a touch overX which will keep us nice until the weekend and allows us to dry and come in hard and full for Saturday.

I have never been so excited to compete. And show off my hard work.

Lots going off but still staying focused on the task at hand. As we have new coaching sheets to transfer clients to and a lot of competitors also showing over the next 2-3 weekends.

We are now up to

7 x class wins
3 x runner ups
2 x top 3
15 x british final invites in multiple feds

We would love to end the season with 2 British champions and 25+ top 3’s

Next year we will have an IFBB pro debut and hopefully an IFBB pro card.

+2 coaches who also have there IFBB pro cards!

Morning guys….

Update from after 2 days front mock loading. No diuretic use or water salt manipulation in the mock.

the aim was to more or less spill me….so we can wash it off and manage fullness across the rest of the week.

2 days of 1325g carbs

Pics are attached!!

I was pretty panicked when I saw the scales but I looked at the video and pics and I was happy. We have reached full glycogen saturation at 290lbs which should wash off nicely and be full hard and dry at 282-285lbs on stage. Which will be very nice 👌

I’m excited! Let’s get after this leg day 🚀

I fully agree with Meg here on both the points of volume, recovery and frequency

You are still super new to training and will be getting a stimulus from just training, eating and recovering.

But…..if you want to maximise progress then I would be looking at:-

Upper
Lower
Rest
Upper
Lower
Rest
Rest (or throw an arms/abs/calves in)

Or

Push
Pull
Rest
Legs
Rest
repeat

Your systolic is slightly elevated but this will also be due to your body still trying to fight off some infection if you still have an illness hanging around….

I would run bloodwork as if your blood has thickened and you need 1/2 let’s then this could also be a factor…

High haemoglobin and haematocrit will lead to high blood pressure.

What’s your hydration been like? As kidney function will also have a correlation to this.

There’s nothing overly concerning here. with a few tests and tweaks this can be back within a perfect range very quickly.

Especially once your fully recovered and cardio goes back in.

Rest day today 282.2lbs 280.2lbs post 30 mins cardio and steps.

New low weight…new condition, new lines, Cal is happy.

Even though I’m tired. And I’m hungry. I feel like I’ve moved into a new gear.

When I say this I mean of mindset. I want it bad. And I’m here for it…..

Had a walk into town today and bought Pheebs and my mum a little gift each for there birthday as it’s in the same day 2 days after our first show.

I also know Pheebs wants some new sunglasses so we will go together for those so I choose right!

Finish up the day….go again. Push tomorrow

Legs was tough in this heat today!!! Wow! But we got it done and we are getting closer! Day by day.

Rest day tomorrow. Another lower day of food. 2 more days before we trial a little back load and reduce some output.

So hopefully we should just get tighter and the physique will come to life. No more spike meals now.

Just all business!
