29 days out from the Midlands, I’m 85 K this morning reading 6% on the scales, I’ve started on Creatine ethyl ester this week and CLA. Been a right old week with work, I’ve been up at 4:30 two mornings to get cardio in and travelling around with a cooler bag but the diet hasn’t slipped at all and I’m pleased with how I’m looking, got veins on my Hamstrings and Lat’s which is a first this far out..

While I’m reluctant to change anything as I’m looking the best I have we’re going to swap onto supersets next week.

Diet wise I’m sticking with what I’ve been doing for the last 4 weeks.

Pec stod up to a mother of a workout Thursday so I'm also chuffed aabout that - that little scare done with - still if I'd tore that one my symetry would have been better - joking ...

Got the posters in the post this morning for the Midlands and finals so off up to the gym now to train legs - been working on 20 – 50 reps – feel the burn….

Keep up the good work dude.

You're doing really well to keep the diet up when work is so stressful

24 days out now, I think I’m leaner than I’ve been to date, I’ve some loose skin around my lumbers and I can feel a little fat in the area but hopefully I can sort both out over the next 3 weeks.

I’m continuing with 1-hour cardio per day at a low intensity and maintaining diet as is, which is working out at a refuel every 5th day or so.

I’m going to cut oats out at 14 days and change on a like for like basis to rice.

We’ve had one rest day in the last three weeks, I’m feeling tired which will be a combination of the training and very interrupted sleep patterns, I’m up every hour and a half for a pee.

Work continues to be high pressure with a lot of travelling and meetings so been living out of a cool bag and Tupperware, I’m not sure how I’m holding this together at the minute but I am…

I’m looking forward to a rest day Sunday, but going to have to be an early start as H is running Stratford marathon which starts at 9:30 and must be a good 2.5 hours from home. If I’m happy with condition I’m going t skip cardio that day and at east I’ll be able to get my head down for a bout 3 hours while she’s running.

Must pick some music and start putting a routine together – maybe not vision thing this time, although I liked it. Free posing isn’t my strong point 

If I get chance I’ll have a shave and take a few photo’s at the weekend, which if I do I’ll post up.

I've also booked a hotel for the finals - hope I qualify but all being equal I'm looking better than last year - if anyone is thinking of staying over it would be agood idea to book now as a good few of them are fully booked.

Chin up Mr P.

Posing music... What about the one I suggested last time...?

Pikey

What was that those crazy asain guys dancing?

There's a Russian march that I like that you often hear on the old may day parade but I don't know what it is - any ideas?

Tall

Yeah boko dance on you tube

Bit of wrist rolling and a glow stick and you'd do fine Mr P

20 days out – had a rest day yesterday first one for at least 2 weeks, as H ran the Stratford Marathon and it’s important to support your partner – well done babe no need to repeat everything I’ve said but ballsy run and congrats on the new PB.
So anyhow walking from the car park to the start line it was bordering on being hot – well felt it – I started going hypoglycaemic, light headed and dizzy so went back to the car after H had set off and decided on having a re-feed day, didn’t go mad perhaps had 400gram over the day, I may have spilled over a little but still happy with how I look and still 83K so nicely up on October.
Proper arse to floor slow squatting on Saturday followed by walking lunges, with leg curls and stiff legs first – wow my hamstrings and Glute’s know about it.
Nothing much else to say,…still haven't settled on anything to pose to yet
