The Reason Why You’re Not Growing ❌

You can make all the noise and commotion in the world, but if you’re not training remotely hard it doesn’t mean anything.

Following on from that if you’re training hard and your diet is piss poor… you guessed it, also a waste of time.

You don’t have to be perfect but don’t take the piss.

Training Montage 💅🏽.

First time on the new Hammer Strength Incline here at corpus! It is a beauty! Easily up there with my favourite plate loaded presses already.

Happy to take 3 plates a side to set that baseline, backoff I ran 2 plates for a 12 which was lovely.

Blue tee clips were from upper B last Thursday, another great session 🤝.

Just over 2.5lbs dropped this week. Happy with how the look is holding, not super flat yet either.

Last 2 weeks of this diet phase 🤝.

No rear shots in the slide today because they were super shadowy whoopsie Daisy

The response to a binge isn’t to starve yourself.

Of course when looking for fat loss a binge is one of the things we want to avoid, however sometimes they do happen.

And how we deal with them can allow us to mitigate the damage as much as possible.

🤔

Understanding the route cause of why you binged in the first place,

Can we optimise that extra food and push harder in sessions or even use it as a small refeed if the circumstances align well?

But the plan of action should never be starving yourself.

Cracking on with legs, have had a bit of a flare up with the right knee causing some pain but nothing we can’t work around.

Taking progressions on pretty much everything today apart from a couple sets on the seated ham.

Weight Loss Myths:

Doing endless Cardio without weight training ❌

Cardio is a fantastic tool to help us drive up expenditure and burn calories.

BUT it’s not the be all and end all, weight training will improve muscle tone, allow hormone balance and support your frame giving you that ‘toned’ look!

Some Upper B Clips.

Thursdays Upper session is a favourite of mine and in a really nice groove.

Gave the life fitness OH press a go after a while on the Gym Shop as it was taken that day. Very nice press and first time I’ve stacked this for a half decent set which is a big win at this body weight 🤝

Also a video of my ab Training because I promise I do train them

Stuart’s Testimonial:

Stuart and me started working together a few months ago with the aim to lose bodyfat and Gain muscle mass.

In this time we’ve dropped nearly 8 Kilos of Bodyfat and massively increased Muscle Tone.

Stuart has been super open and honest through this process, checking in with me within our sessions and every week in our check ins online.

It’s this determination that’s enabled him to make such great progress in a short time!

Are you on the fence?

Something I try and remind people who enquire but are a little on the fence is you are in control of whether you take the leap and make progress or don’t.

Before you know it 6 months or a year have passed by and you’re in the exact same position but wishing you had started sooner.

Take the leap.

Away Day @nortongymwgc

Hard to argue against this being the best gym I’ve been to Kit Wise!

Everything you can think of X2 😂. A real museum for the Gym Equipment Nerds 👏.

Trained Upper Today, using a few of the Flex Leverage pieces which were a novelty to me, 10/10 especially the pulldown.

Will definitely be back 👍.

Mega Session yesterday Afternoon.

Bodyweight down to 182.5 this morning which is 3lbs lighter than last time I hit this session.

All numbers up very nicely which is ideal, just plodding along nicely 🤝.

Before and After for @simonpiechowicz 🤝

Me and Simon have been 1-2-1 PT’ing for a few months now with the goal of shifting some bodyfat whilst retaining his muscle mass and we did just that dropping 8kg of bodyfat.

We began with a fantastic foundation from years of training with the guru @luke_nichols who made the job for me so much easier as Simon had years of knowledge and expertise from Luke first hand.

Simon didn’t want to sacrifice social occasions too heavily being retired and wanting to still live his life so we made sure any social occasions were catered for in advance and guess what, we achieve great results around them…

Well done Simon! 🤝

Magic Upper B 👊🏽

Probably my favourite session in the split currently, all movements ticking along really nicely and numbers increasing.

2lbs off since I last hit this session which I felt but still all progressions on tops sets 🤝.

The majority of my clientele are within their 40’s and 50’s…

Yet we still achieve some pretty awesome results, why?

Because after years of no structure or guidance implementing small changes into their lives has allowed them to gain back their ‘peak’ physical appearance and make it work for THEM.

Ticking along nicely

Training feeling good over the last few weeks, took a little hiatus from stim pre workout as had some sessions slightly later in the day.

First time taking 4 plates on the Arsenal strength row, loving this piece at the moment just full sending each week getting a really deep stretch.

2nd week running the GymShop OH press once again, I got to over 5 plates on this last time so I know the strength is there it’ll just be a case of slowly working back up.

I’m all for listening to science, but don’t take the piss.

At the end of the day the 0.1% changes you make to your training don’t matter if you don’t have the fundamentals nailed.

Train hard, enjoy your training and build that foundation of muscle before niching down training too much.

Thanks to the Sexy Sidekick for his acting in this @james.mercer_onlinecoach

Immaculate Vibes In today’s Upper Session 😮‍💨

Music for me when I’m training has never HAD to be just one genre, I understand having something heavy in the background can add fuel to your sets

But for me if there’s a song I love on like Dreams by Fleetwood Mac that euphoria I get from listening is the boost I need. When you’re having fun you train harder. And good music makes me have fun when I train. Capishe.

Starting Point of this last Push

Heading back into a short diet phase after about 6 weeks off and living normally just to get the last few bits off.

15lbs lighter than my starting point with Big Merc @james.mercer_onlinecoach back in novemeber so excited to see where we can get to this time around.

3 from legs today,

Really fun session in the books today. Still working around the wankle (wanky ankle) but still getting really productive sets and work In despite this!

Of course it’s not ideal but doing what you can in these setbacks are what seperate making progressions or not 🤝.

Are you doing Endless amounts of Cardio? 🏃‍♂️

Well bloody pack it in!

Sure I get you’ve dropped a load of weight and are scared to put it back in, but hours on the bike or treadmill aren’t the answer.

Getting yourself stuck into weight training, focusing on quality nutrition and high protein intake will allow you to truly reap the rewards of that fat loss and allow your frame to sit at its best and your clothes to fit well enough to give you the confidence you deserve!

One thing I can promise you you’ll never regret,

Investing into yourself.

As simple as it sounds you really do only get one body and one life.

Waiting for a scare or a wake up call to kickstart things isn’t the best approach, take action and start putting yourself first.

Debunking the fear of getting ‘too bulky’

99% of the time when I have a new client starting up they worry about looking too bulky. When in reality this will not happen.

Building muscle is a very hard task that requires dedication, nutritional adherence and hard training. So the fear that you’ll wake up a bodybuilder overnight is just not true.

The fear comes from the industry forcing cardio as the only way to lose fat for decades, when In reality building lean muscle tissue will not only aid your fat loss but improve posture, increase energy levels and aid hormone regulation along with many other variables.

So stop being scared of it!

Controlling what you can control.

Great session yesterday really productive movements managing not putting too much leg drive in on movements around the ankle.

When setbacks like this happen how you respond will dictate not only how quickly you recover but also the progress or at worst lack of regression during the phase.

Out of the comfort zone a little on this one.

Something I deal with day to day is health anxiety, which kicked off really this time last year and since then it’s been a turbulent journey.

Some days are a struggle and others are much more manageable but ive found confiding in people and opinions I trust to have been an invaluable tool with helping me deal with my struggles.

I’m always apprehensive talking about this subject as It’s very personal to myself, but it’s through discussing topics like this where I’ve found the most relief 🤝.

How To Make Fitness Work Around You 💆🏽‍♂️👆🏽:

Impulsive eating 🍽️ 🍔

It’s so easy to give in to temptation and before you know it they pack of biscuits is gone or that triple XL bucket of gravy is seen off…

That last one might be a bit of a reach but you get the idea.

One thing I recommend to my clients is the 5 minute rule, give yourself 5 minutes and if after that time you still really want it then have a little. But 99% of the time the impulse to binge is just a feeling and teaching yourself to act against that will help you out tons in the future!

Upper ✌🏽 of the Week.

Very enjoyable session today and session 3/4 done for the week.

Just enjoying getting in and moving some weight, getting the blood flowing and back to full routine after Poland.

I’m a creature of habit so although I love having time away my routine and structure keeps me sane 😂.

Also still very much in love with the Arsenal Strength Row we’ve got here. What a piece of kit 👊🏽

4 Weeks In, Over 6KG Down.

Awesome work thus far for @stuartwfpeer

He came to me a month ago looking to drop body fat and put some muscle mass on.

From there I programmed him a tailored training and diet schedule which he has stuck to religiously hence why he’s made these changes so fast!

Fantastic work from Stuart and it’s only the beginning!

Don’t Try To Run Before You Can Walk.

So often I see clients before starting with me going into their fitness goals full steam ahead, being super restrictive whilst motivation is high and having no balance.

And then wondering why they fall off the wagon and are miserable 3 weeks in…

Now everyone requires different approaches and it’s my job to help you find that as a coach, but 99% of the time when you’re a lifestyle client your plan needs to fit around you not the opposite.

Training Whilst Away 🤝

Very fun session yesterday training upper here in Poland.

I never get too caught up in the small details when training away, we had a wedding yesterday so nutrition and drinking was far from optimal but we got a great session in regardless 🤝.

Setting the baselines.

Very good lower session today, the first time I’ve ever ran 2 leg days in a week so over time this should hopefully grow the 🛞 nicely.

First time taking a proper set on a hinge since my back went a month ago and felt very good, this shows why it’s so important not to rush back when you have setbacks (no pun intended)

Anyway I am toast after this so that’s my waffle over.

Legs 1 🤝

First leg session on the new split today was a success, knee was being a knob but we found ways around it doing high rep Single leg extensions and loading appropriately.

There’s no point getting angry when my knee flares up, I play football at the weekend and have played sport for the vast majority of my life so wear and tear is bound to occur it’s just about managing things when they appear.

Managing Social Occasions around results.

Realistically on a lifestyle plan allowing yourself to enjoy social occasions is a big part of the process.

Making sure you manage these times effectively can be the difference maker between making progress or not both short and long term.

For me it’s always been tricky finding the balance between being fully on or off plan so it’s definitely been a more testing period but something I’ll massively benefit from as time goes on.

What do you want to achieve from your sets?

Before I go into a working set I’ve already weighed up what I want to get from the task at hand and how I can go about that.

For example on my Lat pulldown in slide one, I’m thinking about driving my elbows down into my hips and letting the weight pull my upper arm (humerus) to really get a stretch on the Lat.

Small considerations like these before and during your set can massively impact how much you’re able to achieve from each working set over time.

Keeping accuracy and intent at the forefront of your mind.

“I Just Don’t Want to Put The Weight Back On”

One of the most common concerns I hear from clients I Coach and PT!

I completely understand the fear behind being told you need to eat more after losing weight, but the key thing is those that work with me undergo weekly checkins to make sure we’re going in the right direction and not just putting weight on for the sake of it!

You can’t diet for the rest of your life, learning to make food work for you is a HUGE step in beating that fear of food!

Maintaining Performance Whilst Dieting

Something that frustrates me is when clients say from week 1 or 2 of a diet that they’re expecting performance in the gym to slow down or stop all together.

There is no reason at all why progress on the gym floor should be stalling or regressing early on into a diet phase and having that mindset heading into a phase where performance can be harder to maintain will only hold you back.

There hasn’t been one time through this diet phase where I haven’t expected progression in some shape or form from my training and as a result of that progress has been flying.
