Suboptimal off season ➡️optimal

@_danmaskell 108kgs… fat, lethargic, zero pumps, struggling to pose and couldn’t hike up a mountain if he tried….

Fast forward to MUCH tidier 100kgs LEAN, pumped every session, healthier, eating way more carbs because actually utilising the nutrients efficiently, leg growth, lat growth…. Has walked up many mountains…..

Heavy doesn’t mean better off season…. Thrive where you perform the best and that’s how you grow PROPERLY.

Also…. Better beard….

Can’t stop eating? There’s more to it. LOADS

Can’t stop eating? There’s more to it.

LOADS of videos and info now out there Abi it post show reversals or rebounds… how to reverse safely and property out of a dieting phase or off the back of a show.

And ALL OF THEM STATE DON’T BINGE…..

Dude and dudettes, if you have just gone through a 20 week dieting phase and got inside out lean, restricted foods and been eating plain as sin to prevent any gut mishaps - like FUCK is just being told “Don’t Binge” going to cut it.

Being that depleted and that low for that long you can’t help but cram ALL the foods into your mouth and don’t tell me it’s a question of will power because that shit is finite!

Think about a starving dog… when it has the opportunity to eat again - you think he’s going to get his knife and fork out and eat delicately?

NATURE takes over and that animal will destroy his bowl given the chance - humans are animals and jut saying “don’t binge” isn’t going to help matters much or and slamming your client calling them “weak” won’t help either.

Insatiable hunger needs to be managed on an individual basis - emotionally, physically and physiologically… not with two words via WhatsApp.

When shit doesn’t go to plan

Went in today wanting to nail the hack of death @oldschooljims and instead it nailed me.

As you can see by the end I got slightly annoyed…. But after throwing my toys out of the pram I just cracked on with the remainder. (Plus @jase_345 nailed his hacks today so I HAD to prove a point 😂)

Not every session goes to plan - heck not ANYTHING in life can go to plan sometimes but it’s the reaction you take that sets you up for the remainder of your day.

Don’t allow one wrong to derail all the other rights that could happen.

Sex and libido - ooooo a TABOO Why don’t we tal

Sex and libido - ooooo a TABOO

Why don’t we talk about libido? The DESIRE to have sex, or even the LOSS or LACK of desire?

Because it can be embarrassing to admit that libido can tank, that you don’t WANT to have sex and would much rather sleep or fantasise about a burger and fries.

Libido is something I talk about A LOT with my clients in ALL phases of their programming, it’s a signal that needs to be addressed when it changes - if you’re a horn dog with a bone all the time and then suddenly the thought of having a shag makes you sigh with effort then this is a red flag 🚩 the same goes for the opposite, if you’re not a sexual person with a high sex drive then suddenly you’re looking at your other half like a rapist again something is slightly out of line…

Nutrition, training, recovery and sleep PED’s, supplements and a lot more can influence these specific changes in feelings or arousal and shouldn’t be ignored so regardless of whether you’re dieting, gaining, maintaining or simply changing your lifestyle take your feelings of arousal seriously - TALK about them with your coach so you can put things in place to monitor changes and keep hormonal response in check.

Ah the SKWAT - but does it HAVE to be a barbell?

Ah the SKWAT - but does it HAVE to be a barbell?

The squat is a beautiful pattern (IMO anyway) building and hitting all aspects of the leg muscle but some people just aren’t builds for a BB back squat not do they want to do to it.

Guys it’s 2023 and there are so many other options out there to choose from so yes if you want some nice Thicc pins do a squat BUT you can choose one to suit your leverages and your abilities

⭕️ The smith machine squat - heels elevated or sumo

⭕️ The pendulum squat - a personal fave - think hamstrings to calves

⭕️ The belt squat - drive through your heels DONT pull yourself up from the handles

⭕️ The hack squat - 🤢🤢🤮🤮 but immense for hitting the quads, don’t be afraid to allow the heels to lift and drive through the ball of your foot

⭕️ The safety bar squat - ideal for people with shoulder issues and replacing a front grip squat

So as you can see you don’t HAVE to use a BB or a Hack or a pendulum, there’s always more ways to get some thiccness to your thighs 😜

Guess I can off-season a bit…. Quality shit tak
