How to have a productive offseason 📝

Nail your food
Nail your recovery
Communicate with coach and make adjustments when needed to continue progression

Major key!!! Get stronger on the same damn movements! has been on the same program for 15 weeks. That’s 15 weeks of constant progression on the same movements.
That progression in training really adds up over time!
Only 5 small adjustments to his food when needed to continue the progression.

8kgs up and leaner than we started, with a lot more room to continue the growth in this offseason!

Results like this aren’t for everyone. You need to put in the work 👊🏻

Weekly dump 👊🏻

Lots of hours on the computer
Trip down Melbourne to learn from some 👑’s
Managed to squeeze 4 sessions into 3 sessions 💀
Caffeine & ni****ne usage 10/10

Life is good ✌🏻

1 day post NSW show here for

This was also at 6 days out from Nationals.
So no real ‘peak’ for this shoot, as comp was the main goal.
Some clients can get away with enjoying a meal post show when there is a quick turn around.

Unfortunately Yacoub isn’t one of them, we know his body quite well and know it likes to hold water like crazy, so after the first show we kept it in control and calculated 👊🏻

That’s the benefit of knowing your athletes and getting in multiple trial high days leading up to stage 🙌🏻

Throwback to the first prep with 🔪

I remember standing on the side of the stage as he walked out and just seeing the lines in his glutes as he took each step and thinking ‘we are fu***ng on’

Which then resulted in a first and third place.
The 2 that beat him are both pros now too.

Just waiting for Trav to tell me he is ready to run it back 💯

Week in review 🔬

Training, mrs, sushi, clients, ni****ne, ✌🏻, work.

2 weeks out for

Very moderate amount of carbs in yesterday and today (1000g total), to trial and see how the body responds.
From today’s check in, I can tell he definitely can hold some more, so next high day will be a bit more aggressive.

Currently watching things very closely on a day to day basis to see where weight goes and if adjustments need to be made.

Right now it’s about finding the look, making slight tweaks and bringing the best to stage 👊🏻

Complimentary last night, tonight I chose different 😂

I wish I was kidding about the toilet one….
I’ve literally seen it so many times 🤮

If you also take this post personally, well probably not a good things 😂

Some goooood fat loss tools.

Nothing magical, not a necessity, but can be a major help 🙏🏻

Anyone that knows me, I eat boring AF when I’m dieting (even when I’m not dieting too lol), because it keeps things simple, easy and less thinking for me.

But small things like low calorie sauces, diet drinks (monsters are key) and caffeine can make a massive difference when food starts getting boring AF.
Giving them taste buds a little loving (little, don’t abuse these).

If your meals taste like cardboard, and it’s making you hate the process and not stick to it…that’s when the discipline can slip. Maybe add some flavour.

Also, Monsters are 👑

They taste good, give you some caffeine and can help with energy during a deficit.

Just don’t be that person having 4 a day (possibly me during prep), sleeping like s**t, then possible GI issues and then recovery is cooked

Use them as a tool 🛠️

Don’t abuse them like a degenerate 😂

Compliments to those who do these things 👏🏻

But on the other hand, you really should be doing this s**t anyway. Especially the first one 👊🏻
Don’t be that guy or girl 🙅🏼‍♂️

If you do these things, you’re a bodybuilding green flag 😂
