HEAVY DEADS TONIGHT 🏋️‍♀️

280x1 (previous PB from around 5 years ago)

270x1

Don’t often go for singles but seeing as the comp is now out the way I just fancied seeing what I could pull. Only started deadlifting again around 3 months ago after not doing them for nearly 3-4 years as just didn’t need to when I was bodybuilding.

280kg was the most I ever pulled back in the day with the hopes to join the 300kg club one day but that disappeared when bodybuilding.

Tbf i think 290 is there when I am fully fresh. so who knows I could perhaps join the 300kg club after all give me a few months ✌🏼

Rocking my new ATHX GAMES ATHX Games Community shirt from the weekend 👌🏼

Big thanks to my sponsors for fuelling my race 💪🏻

Going into my first hybrid event it was important to make sure I had the correct supplements with me to help me preform at my best.

My top 3 picks were -

Intra carb+ taken pre and during the event to ensure my glycogen stores were fuelled for a very physically demanding race.

Pre stim+ used pre race the same way you’d use it before a training sessions. Focused and stimulating

Electrolyte+ front loaded going into the race day to ensure good Hydration and then straight after the race to help replenish what I lost through sweat 💦 and sick 🤢 🤣

It’s been really good to use these supplements in a different format to how I have used them in the past for bodybuilding. Still essentially doing the same job but for a different goal this time ✌🏼

ATHX GAMES weekend round up ⬆️

So where to start what an incredible weekend. Wow I am literally blown away with how fun that was.

So me and Adonis Georgiou | Online Fitness Coach only decided around 7 weeks ago fully that we were going to enter this competition. Each never done a hybrid event before, myself bodybuilding for the last 10 years and ado also heavily strength focused with multiple world records.

We knew this would be a challenge but set out to be the best we could in a short space of time being two big lumps trying to move quickly.

On the day we finished in 4th place overall out of the group of 17 we were against. This put us contention to qualify for the world championships in November. However there were another 25 pairs competing today which meant we had to try and hold out in 4th all day.

Unfortunately right at the end 1 group of the 25 today managed to just move in front of us overall pushing us into 5th overall and out of the qualifying. Absolutely gutted I can’t lie 😩 so 5th out of 34 in the end.

However we did manage to finish first overall in the strength section and set an overall world record total for any male pairs overall. This was pretty cool and we actually left quite a bit in the tank on this too.

The endurance section was actually very close and we were only around 500m of first place which shows how close it was and that for two big guys not far of the pace at all. With further training this could improve massively.

The metcom - unfortunately this is where we lost most of our placings. Annoyingly we were actually in first place right up to the last ski erg and ended up having a mare on our techniques which dropped us right down. Again some very small changes and it could have been very different.

But that’s comps for you. You learn each time and look to improve. We definitely have it in us to be very competitive in this field with further training.

I’ll do a separate post on the on the individual sections later this week.

But huge shout out to our support team this weekend. Natasha and Emma our cheerleading gang and then mum and Amy joining the party too ❤️ loved it. You guys were the best.

Onto the next 💪🏻 big love

When’s the right time to let the scale weight go up?

It’s always hard when you come out of a dieting phase and you start too see the scale weight increase, the lines and vascularity disappear too.

It’s hard to let go of that look and feeling, however it’s important to understand that in order to grow new muscle tissue coming out of a deficit into a surplus is needed.

Now how you do this is the important part. If it’s rushed and calories are pushed to high to soon you will end up looking like a bag of milk 🥛 🤣

Nobody wants this. Slow and steady wins the race. Now I know that to some people this is still hard to workout and will be unsure of the amount of foods they need to consume in order to grow at a good rate.

If this is you, drop me a DM NOW and i can help you really get the most progress out your next phase 💪🏻

MAKING THE MOST OUT OF THE TIME YOU’VE GOT!

Life can get busy, routines can be stressful, sessions can be missed.

That’s life it happens.

The main thing is to make sure whatever you can do. You do well and effectively. Don’t just give up after one bad day.

Sometimes being able to adapt a workout plan is all you need.

If you’re someone who struggles from time and often finds themselves missing sessions. Let me help you create a program that’s actually going to work for you and around your lifestyle.

Remember if it doesn’t work that’s a good chance you just won’t do it!

Drop me a DM now and let’s workout something that’s works for you

Class day out at the DP World Tour BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth today my first time ever watching and what a day to watch. Some of the best players in the world. Watching it live is something else. The way these guys hit the ball is no joke 👌🏻

Great day out with the lads rich, Steve and Jordan. I even had a hit on the long drive simulator. Wasn’t my best of drives still further than most but poor for me haha

Not sure how i managed to get a picture with the Rory board 🤣 also even had a go on the long drive simulator comp wasn’t my finest of drives but still was further than most haha.

Finally big shoutout to In The Drink Golf for sorting me out with their brand new white golf tee too wear today. Mega fit and love the big collar on the top. Make sure you go check them out lads 👌🏻

Then an easy 220 x 5 back off set today - probs got one more big deadlift session in the bag until we start to taper things down slightly before the comp
