Going to drop a few videos from the back session. Didn't manage to film it all in one go as it was to difficult to do it with out a gym partner, as well it ruins the tempo of the session.
The next month or so I'm dropping the big lifts, (I will explain in another post) working on proportions and mind muscle connection. A lot of one arm work, and volume is the plan.
To start today's session, and get the CNS firing, PIN ROWS are the one 🙌🏽 A variation from bent over row. Working

Back to work after a, sort of, restful few days at home - ate to much and drunk to much 😜 @
Even decided to decided to do a bit of throw back to the old days whilst I was at home, where my love in sport and fitness began. A spot of cricket, (picture saying that in a posh accent 😂) Always a bowler, never a batsman. Bit rusty I have to say haha! Felt weird to be back bowling after 4 years but it was good fun spending some time in the nets with the old man.

'Moderation' is key to life.
Break things up once in awhile, take time to rest and unwind, go on a holiday or something like I did. Find a balance between living healthy, having killer workouts etc and a social life. Don't block that out, a social life is vital; to your mentality, your happiness and your well being.

Hello everyone, I'm back after a crazy few weeks.
What was supposed to be one de-load week transitioning into a new phase of my training has turn out to be four weeks long 😕
From sorting out a new house out in Leeds, to work life, to severe (old injury) back spasms and finally symptoms of swine flu. I'm finally back at work (currently working on my PT of the month advertisement after being awarded it last week) and hopefully back training next week if every thing stays quiet and

If you ever want an insane arm pump, to the point where you can't even touch your shoulders give this a try.

A short clip from yesterday's back session.
In my hypertrophy week, its all about volume, steady with the reps and not burning out to early. There is a lot to get through 😬😷.
In this clip, doing bent over rows, at the same weight for:- 10,12,15,15, burn out set, burn out set and burnout set. Dropping the weight by 2.5 or 5kg after the last 15 rep set.
40 second rest in between or if you are training with your gym buddy go straight after he / she is finished. 💪🏻

As mentioned earlier I said I would give you a few points on why you need to consume Leucine when training.
- It is an essential amino acid, our bodies can't produce it, we can only get it from the food we eat and supplements.
- Leucine stimulates protein synthesis to build muscle.
- BCAAs (Branch Chain Amino Acids) make up a high proportion of the amino acids in the muscle. The muscle use this as fuel when training. (Depending on training your doing, as you can use glycogen as a

Current BCAA choice at the moment, Rich Piana's ALLDAYYOUMAY, Blue Raspberry Flavour. Incredible flavour and easy to drink through out the day. I mix two scoops in a 1.5L Bottle, one for the morning and another in the afternoon.
It has an incredible 10:1:1 BCAA ratio.
In my post tonight I will talk more about Leucine, the main amino in this drink and why it is key to consume it when training.

In terms of legs for me, I am pretty bottom heavy and legs have always been my strong point. I'm pretty happy with the condition they're in. I know there isn't going to be much definition with the training I'm doing now. However they are looking thicker and strength is going up.

Carb choices this week:-
Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Mash (to be made still.)
Brown Pasta.
I have decided to change things up from my usual carb sources of brown rice & quinoa and sweet potato as I have notice the high sodium contained in the microwaveable rice has made me pretty bloated, resulting in me holding a lot of water weight.
Good carb sources are key to a balance healthy diet. Firstly don't neglect carbs as said before, unless you are on a Paleo diet or

No slow mo video, this is real time. I was going slower in my earlier sets, but I took this video in my final set for some reason 😆.

After my shoulder workout I decided to throw in a heavy arm workout, focusing more on the biceps as I did a tricep focused workout earlier in the week. The clip shown is an exercise I have thrown in recent weeks, seeing it as a variation to the close grip EZ Bar. What I

Hood up, head down and lift!!
So I'm going to share a clip from my shoulder workout I did on Sunday. This video comes from my strength week, so it's all about low volume and slow tempo. I don't go to heavy with the lifts when it's comes to shoulders as I'm still trying to get my strength back in them after last years injury. Still along way to go with it, a few clicks and clunks when moving it but noticing small differences already.
So in terms of exercises for my shoulder

Keeping some form of abs through the heavy carb period. ✔️
Anyone that is a hard gainer like me, do not be afraid to load up on those carbs. I'm on a current ratio of 50% carbs 25% protein 25% fats. Carbs are your friend not your enemy haha.
