79kg then and now.
About 9-10months difference between these shots.
As a natty and training a long time I don’t expect huge differences year on year but it’s good to see I had a productive push up phase🫡.
Great celebrations however it’s completely corrupt that they voted to not continue the season whilst in 8th to sneak into the playoffs. Tranmere were relegated whilst being the in-form team in the league without a chance to fight for survival.

94kg down to 74kg (April-Sept)
20 weeks to lose 20kg without reducing calories drastically or killing myself with cardio.
Consistency and drive is 🔑.
Very cool get a magazine cover published today all the way out in the Phillippines.
Going over my 2021 prep; losing 20kg, training through lockdowns and managing this along side a 9-5😁

“Just seen them lose to Watford” ?!? That was three months ago. Adrian Durham is a bottom of the barrel journalist who’s only insight into sport is bait commentary.
Carb load begins.
Fasted vs PWO with 350g carbs in.
Plan is to hit around 800-900g carbs today, another high day tomorrow then hold the look through Saturday before competing Sunday🤝
Weight: 77kg
Training: Upper Body pump
Cardio; none
Fluids: 5L
Steps: 13,000
It gets that little closer. 275kgx4 tackled at 88kg Bodyweight.
I try to pull mostly through my back so keep knee flexion/leg drive limited.
Follow up these sets with higher rep deficit pulls and rows. 🤝
Pre stage shots - So how’d I get on?
I placed but no trophy, feedback was be bigger overall especially in the chest.
Personally Imo I could have brought in leaner ham/glute tie in.
No complaints, the standard at UK shows is insanely high right now.
Onto the next👊🏻.
@CoachFHM
Guys that brag about these kind of numbers are usually also nursing some big injuries.
It always “I used bench 400 till I picked up a back injury”…hmmm wonder why that was🤣
TOP 3 DEADLIFT MISTAKES
The deadlift is one of the most productive exercises you can do
It builds muscle, strength. Better posture, stronger spine & posterior chain
But you Need to do it correctly, Otherwise you risk injury
These are the most common mistakes I see made…
Busy few days but here’s pre stage shots.
Super happy with how I brought in my physique - the standard at UK shows this year is very high, the guy that won my class won the entire thing, absolute freak of a physique so can’t complain 😂

Recent studies favouring muscle growth in the lengthened range has given me an excuse to bring DB Flyes back in.
Prior to pressing, keeping in the lengthened range for tension on the chest, then I’ll move into some partial presses to get some sets in that 25-30rep range. 🤝
@AJA_Cortes
So accurate, your coworkers will try all sorts for you to join in on snacks at the office or a pint after work.
Luckily once you say no a few times and show you’re disciplined they’ll begin to stop.
And once you get to your goal they’ll ask how you did it.
My mums full on lost it with retirement, just rung me buzzing about the Christmas decorations for the house and she’s gone and put a lit up VELOCIRAPTOR in the garden 😂😭
Okay - last post on this thread hope it’s been useful.
Few stage shots to show the final result.
Any questions on perfecting your own peak let me know📩.

8L of water to get in by 3pm, it’s been a fun morning 😖
Crazy to see my physique continue to get tighter. Condition coming in crisp🤌🏼
Time to see if this look can be improved upon!
Oompa Loompa mode engaged🍊.
Top coat on, I will have to have another in the morning + a final set before going on stage😂
Water got cut at 6pm, last meal was 7pm.
Hopefully, I can flush out any excess water to bring a tight and full package tomorrow🫡.

Will do a short explanation on why we fat load later✌🏻

Moving my training to 5:30-6am before work was a game changer. Means you go into work already charged up and get all your evenings back.
Let’s face it even if you don’t train the morning you waste a lot of time getting ready - put it to use!
If they restrict all outdoor activity should be based on certain cities. Less then 100 cases in this region, don’t need to have southerners fuck it up for all of us

Using this fellas poor choice in mortgage agreement isnt a good example to try and highlight the above though?
A house purchase carries risk like any other investment, nothing to do with the boats and woke.
@_NOMICS
Think a charge for missing a GP appointment or unnecessary call out is fair and would solve most issues. This is a disincentive to some of the worst off groups

Someone tried to beat the market by choosing a variable rate mortgage over a fixed rate term and was wrong, how is this a voter concern?
As I said it’d a poor example to use as no party manifesto is suggesting changing mortgage agreements…
Arguing for increased immigration to prop up poorly paid key sectors rather than fixing the root cause of the issues we have in our economy and public services.
Migrants don’t only enrich London’s social and cultural life, they’re absolutely integral to our economy & public services.
The Government’s proposed changes could be a disaster for key parts of our economy - such as hospitality, health & social care.
260kgx4 for stiff legs at 83kg. Held this lift through my cut.
300kg still the aim this offseason and edging ever closer. Best was 290kg at 89kg last push up.
If I can hit that again at ~85kg, 300+ will be a certainty when I get back to 89-90kg.
Really think football is missing the mood here. Using up thousands of tests on footballers isn’t right when they’d be better used for hoslital admissions etc. No real fans want to see the season played behind closed doors, this is all driven by greed.
300kg moving yesterday @ 88kg bodyweight.
Weight PR for me, looks like I had maybe a double or triple in there but I was too buzzing at getting it and lost composure😂
@Unkle_K
Pretty sure Lewis Morgan from gymshark owns a % of MDV and helped him start it from what he’s said on podcasts.
Shows how well FB ad spend works though for brands as every time this fella trends it’s always him upsetting (potential?) customers.
This country voted in December overwhelmingly for a party that has aggressively cut the NHS for the last ten years and now we pay them back in this half hearted gesture of a clap? Some brass neck on people🤨
Actually may hinder cutting
Your body has adapted to exercise movement patterns in the bulk allowing you to retain strength in those movements when you cut.
New exercises ➡️ new movmenent patterns ➡️ new adaptions ➡️ less intensity ➡️ slower fat loss
There is no reason or benefit to changing your training style when cutting
There are 0 training methods that will secretly just burn fat
Going from normal, moderate-heavy weight to a bunch of high rep stuff won’t do anything
The training that put the muscle on keeps the muscle
20kg weighted vest ordered.
Current prices of DBs, bars and plates is ridiculous.
IMO weighted vests and sandbag equipment best value equipment if you’re after additional load.
Almost topped out on the DB rack on my presses wjth 60kgs here.
I have bench set as on a low incline, feels better on my joints/stability.
Getting to the stage where a machine makes more sense but the 70kgs are within touching distance of a decent set😂.
@finkmoney_
We’d have to completely rip out and redesign how our public sector works to begin getting value for money.
Problem is you’re going to be asking the current lot in post, who are the issue, to drive that change

absolutely sickening view on the Yemen situation.
‘Saudi Arabia will buy the weapons anyway so we may as well sell them then to ensure they’re used correctly’.
Britain is 100000% guilty of war crimes here.
