    My hips were feeling sore and very inflexible today so I didn't squat. I’m also coming toward the end of my ‘bulking phase’ and It’s been a while since my last break... I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and take a deload week. Hopefully should be fresh and ready to hit it harder than ever after this

    Still a lingering pain when I try to squat, somewhere between my groin and hip area.... Did a load of stretching, but couldn’t even get low enough with just the bar. May have to replace these with some machine hack squats as they don’t aggravate it in the same way, don’t really know what else to do. Hopefully a short break from squats coupled with some stretching will sort it? I don't want to brute force my way to an injury :/

    On a side note; I’ve started my transition into a cut. Aiming to get as lean/leaner than I was last summer, hopefully with some added mass from my winter bulk...

    Will be going from ~4000 calories, 220P, 120F & 500C.... down to ~2500kcal, 220P, 250C, 65F. Quite a big initial drop in calories, but I think I was gaining a little more than 1lb/week toward the end of my ‘bulk’. I’m pretty disciplined with hitting my macros and will adjust them as my weight changes.

    Only thing I’m not sure about is what to do with my routine. Not sure if I should drop the ‘hypertrophy days’ in favour of more low rep work. I’m just thinking that if I’m not going to be able to build any more muscle, I should put more of an emphasis onto holding onto as much strength as possible? Or would this be too exhausting? Not sure if I buy into the over training theory though.
    Appreciate any thoughts

    Decided to skip legs today, there's still a lingering pain in my hip/groin area so I can't squat anyway. Figured the extra days rest may do some good. Still feel guilty even though I did them earlier this week.

    Diet is going well I suppose. Mad hungry, but it's gotta be done! Weight is dropping, but feel sooooo flat.

    it may or may not help you but i picked up a Dynamic-Stabiliser-Band and it worked for me as I developed pain in my left groin after heavy squatting (1.75 x BW)

    i found out that my knees were caving in when squatting and this was increasing the load in my groin area

    all I know is that groin pain is well annoying!

    great progress pics by the way

    keep on smashing it

    Thanks bro, sounds very interesting... we could have the same problem. How does the band work, do you put it around your knees while you squat? I’m hoping it sorts itself out if I just avoid barbell squats for a little while

    The pic is from back in November; think I was around 168lbs... much has changed since then

    Weighted Dips; BWx8, +20x6, +40x5, +50x5,5

    EZ Curl; 30x6,6 45x5,5,5,5,5

    Shrugs; 80x8, 120x8, 160x8, 220x5,5, Increase in Weight


    Have noticed that since I've cut my calories, I seem to struggle with high rep work. Strength hasn't really dropped when working in low rep ranges, but I'm struggling to hit the same number of reps when working 10+
    5x5 seems to be a good scheme, with slightly longer breaks than I was using previously. Not going to drop the higher rep work tho

    awesome my current cut is almost over and I can only hope for results like yours. How long does a session of your PHAT programme tend to last?

    Yep its just a little band, its good for warm ups and yeah you basically put it just below your knee then squat. It helps to ensure they are really forced out. I got it from absolute gold (I can't post links yet) It looks like I wasn't squatting properly as there are so many little things to look out for to ensure good squat form and I overlooked ensuring my knees are pushed out!

    I also found that having a too wide stance also resulted in more pain, so I narrowed it slightly. I have currently de-loaded on barbell squats and started from a lower weight doing ATG squats and slowly increasing the weight. I am hoping going low with ATG squats will help all the smaller groin muscles out which are causing my pain. I really want to get back to doing heavy squats as I want to improve on my PRs.

    Keep up the good work

    Keep up the good work

    Cool, I'll probably pick one up and see if it helps... add it to my bag of goodies that I cart around the gym!

    My workouts usually last around 90 minutes. I like to take my time tho, don't superset anything. But since I've started cutting they've taken a little longer, I try to make sure I'm fully recovered between sets so I don't have to drop the weight. I'm not there to burn calories/lose weight, I'll let my diet take care of that. Just focusing on keeping strength now.

    How long have you been cutting now? Shredded for the summer?

    As far as squat form goes, I thought I had it nailed pretty tight. The safety bars are set so that the bar would rest just below parallel and I touch those a couple of times during warm-up to find depth. I do squat with quite a wide stance, and make an effort to push my knees out. I'll try an throw a video up, may look a little weird asking randoms at the gym to film tho since I usually train solo.




    ^^ Is a great series if you haven't seen it already

    good stuff, yeah have seen this video but I'm always watching them again and again as I always pick up something new when watching them

    I wish I was shredded, training has been good, strength is increasing but I don't think I have a good base of lean muscle mass to start with to look properly shredded. At only 132lb, 62kg 12-15% bf (not sure) and 5ft 7in, I want to put on a bit more mass then go for another cut. After my holiday next week will reasses everything and take it from there.

    keep on smashing it man

    I was in a similar position after my last cut; I think that’s just the nature of the beast, you’ll always want more mass! Being lean is an illusion tho, I had people telling me I was looking bigger as I got toward the end of my cut.

    Had a sharp pain in my shoulder when warming up for bench so decided to use the chest press machine to try and isolate the chest and take my shoulder out of it as much as possible. Decided to skip shoulders all together in this workout

    Apologies for the lack of updates been really busy. Seem to be carrying a shoulder injury as well now, goes well with my groin injury!

    Not really sure how to approach these. I really don’t want to take a couple of weeks off to recover, but at the same time it’s defiantly affecting my training

    Weight is down to 170 as of first thing this am when I weighed myself before breakfast... a little over 10lb loss in 5 weeks.

    Haven’t really noticed any strength losses yet, but do generally feel pretty exhausted a lot of the day. Not doing any cardio atm, dropped it some way into my bulk when my weight gain stalled... figured I’ll add it back in once my weight loss stalls this time.

    Quick example of my diet from today...

    Breakfast; 100g oats, scoop of whey, 250ml milk, coffee, multi & fish oil
    Lunch; Tuna sandwich, salad, 2 packs of Snack a’ Jacks & coffee
    Snack; 4 Low fat sausages with hot sauce, more coffee
    Dinner; 250g Mince Turkey, 250g stir fry veg & 250g rice

    Comes out at ~2460kcal, 212p, 260c, 64f... it’s defiantly not a lot of food!

    Am going to introduce a weekly reefed, probably on a Friday, where I drop protein & fat and bump my carbs up to something more respectable... maybe around 500g. I could lie and say it’s for the leptin boost, but realistically I’m not at that point yet and it’s more for sanity... and the fact than I’m flat as anything and can’t hold a pump for the duration of my post workout shower! :@

    Been a little while since I updated... sliced the inside of my left arm with a knife trying to cut some cable ties; not been the gym this week, and will have to stay out at least until I have the stitches removed and regain full ROM

    Despite all this, motivation is still high, can't wait to get back in the gym... Diet is unchanged, not going to use this as an excuse to lose focus. Week or so out of the gym may even help the other two niggling injuries I've been carrying and reluctant to take time off for.
