3 years later & what a feeling

This first show back, the step up from novice to open class but even more than that it was a chance for me to display something I’ve worked on over the last 1000+ days, something I’ve visioned time after time and finally getting the chance to put it on stage

Once again this has just confirmed to me how much I love this sport for every single part of it

UKDFBA INTERNATIONAL CHAMP & NEW PNBA PRO

Another fantastic outing for Vita, taking her class win, the overall and the pro card

Going into every show I always have big goals for Vita as I just know what’s possible for her but this day couldn’t have gone any better, her best yet and she was very rightly rewarded

I remember when Vita and myself first spoke about competing, I actually advised her to push back her first prep because I could see the potential but knew time was needed and thankfully she put her trust in me and did just that and was deservingly rewarded

So coming back this year after an already successful season the pressure was higher but like a true champ she didn’t let that get the better of her and again was rewarded & I have no doubt the pressure will continue to come as she climbs up the ranks but I also have no doubt in her ability to thrive with that pressure

Next Stop. Denmark

Ex 1 - Cyber Kneeling Lateral

First delt movement of the session, great chance to load the mid to shortened range when fresh as well as a nice intro into the session physically and mentally

Ex 2 - Hammer Strength Incline

Extremely heavy in the shortened range so the perfect option as a first press & set up with the intention of bringing in a little bit of front delt as well as pec to tick 2 boxes with one movement that can be loaded pretty well with room to progress

Ex 3 - Gymleco Flat

Really smooth press with an aggressive drop off in the the shortened range which compliments the hammer stress press beforehand super well & being later in the session allows for a little less load which works lovely as its a heavy piece in the stretch which can leave you feeling pretty vulnerable

Ex 4 - Cable Lateral

Second lateral of the session set up with the cable around hip height creating a nice drop off in the contraction & completely opposite to the lateral that started the session allowing me to finish the delt off throughout its entire range

Unpopular opinion... feel is limiting your progress

I think internal feel is one of those things that gets massively overvalued in training

Yes, feeling a muscle work can be useful, but the sensation itself isn’t what builds the muscle & focusing too much on this will more often than not leaving missing out on progress

A common theme i see with clients is the desire to reduce load because they feel it less but there is a reason heavier sets often feel like you have less of that internal connection & that is completely fine in my opinion

When the weight gets heavy, more of your focus has to go towards actually moving the weight, staying tight, maintaining your position and producing force, which means less goes to feeling it That doesn’t automatically mean the target muscle is doing less or you need to back off the load

For me the best signs that you are good to keep going with a movement & load is the execution that had you feeling it before stays consistent as the weight increases

If setup, range of motion, control & tempo is looking the same with 4 plates as they did with 1 plate, that’s all you really need to know that the muscle you want to train is being worked

First legs of the week wrapped up, first hinge in a good while & excited to chase it down as always

Mega work from Greg

Roughly 25lbs down, our best look ever & probably the smoothest diet we have done

Greg is a great example of how time is so important in physique development and also why spending time with a coach is invaluable

Myself and Greg started working together in 2024 and in that time we have developed a great realisation and understanding of how we work together which is why we are able to be so successful in whatever phase & at attacking whatever goal we set for ourselves

Pull ticked off to wrap up the first 3 sessions back

Pretty solid session overall & picking up very close to where I left off in terms of strength

A common theme with client when coming back to training after being away & training elsewhere or just having extra rest is the stress that they have lost strength & are now playing catch up

However the reality is when we have time away from a movement we likely just need to develop the skill again & get used to what failure on a specific piece feels like more than regaining strength

In my opinion strength similar to muscle is pretty hard to lose and after just a session or two you can except to see your numbers back up & ready to progress

This is the exact situation for myself, next session im excepting to see some big jumps forward as I get familiar with these movements once again

Building Momentum 👷🏾‍♂️

A term I use very often with clients about each of their own physique development journey as it’s such an important part to long term success

It’s common for people to except to hit the ground running and except everything to come at once but the reality is physique development is a long game & positive momentum is what carries you all the at to the end goal

These first few sessions back for me are simply about create a positive start that will then carry me forward without having to really think

Also new @teveo training joggers (L) & zip hoodie (2XL) as well as the new bag, if you want anything USE CODE lCAV”

First session back on Uk soil, leg day!

Time away leaves me super excited to get into my usual training and also grateful for what I have available to me on a daily basis as although training was still ticked off while away it was pretty different to what I usually do

After a good bit of time away, a holiday, sickness, an injury whatever it is I actually like to use it as an opportunity to reset things a little

Some changes in exercise selection, a few different set structures/warm ups as while away we did a good bit more “volume” which I think I’ll continue on some bits as I enjoyed it

Also held back a little today as although training while away as I said it was different and I pretty much have not touched a leg press or hack for weeks so wanted to not be super sore and also give myself the best shot as progressing in the coming weeks without ruining myself day 1

You don’t need to “diet” on holiday to stay on track

A few simple habits can make a big difference while still enjoying yourself

Training should be fun 🤓

Yes follow your plan but also learn to understand your body, know when you can and can’t do more

Not only will it bring you more progress but it will also bring your more enjoyment which in turn will bring more progress
