Working hard but still look and feel the same?

Every week feeling like you’re trying hard but getting no where? Constantly second-guessing yourself - is this what I’m supposed to be doing? Am I doing it right?

Getting strong, lean and more confident comes from a few simple habits done consistently.

Train hard, eat and recover well - but you probably already knew that.

The real problem I see is usually:

You think you know what to do. But your implementation is s**t or inconsistent.

Your expectations are skewed. You expect 10x the results 10x faster than is realistic, healthy or sustainable.

You don’t have someone keeping you right. So when things go wrong, you think somethings wrong with you.

You’re already stressed out your nut with work n responsibilities. You’re trying to do more when you’re already running on less.

You compare where you’re at now to where you think you should be or to where you see other people are at. So you’re blind to your own progress.

You eat your emotions because of your s**tty stress management. Too much on your mind, not enough hours in the day - foods a fast way to feel better.

You don’t know where to start. How to do things right. You doubt yourself. You get frustrated. You give up. You think you’re a failure…

Never really knowing what went wrong.

You can break that pattern.

All it takes is a decision. Message me. Tell me if this resonated. I’ll point you in the right direction.

I train for my SELF, meaning

For
Strength,
Empowerment,
Love &
Fulfilment.

Because when I am strong, empowered, loving and fulfilled -

I automatically help others realise that in themselves.

If all else fails, you know where I’m @

But on a serious note -

I can’t fail because I can’t quit.

The only real failure is quitting altogether.

I used to take failure personally.

But now I realise that, like in the gym,

Every time you fail, you get closer to success.

And without the failure, you’d never learn, never grow, never change…

You’d never succeed and achieve what you want.

Because success n failure? They come as a pair

Trying to get one without the other doesn’t work.

That’s the fantasy that I used to live in.

But detaching from any perceived ‘successes’ or ‘failures’ and focusing on the mission and the vision -

That changed the game for me.

Let neither success nor failure interfere with your pursuit of purpose.

And if all else fails,

Could always start an OF, sell pics of your toes or something.

Know what I mean?

I literally just done 3 things consistently…

1️⃣ Start walking more.

I walked with a 10kg backpack everywhere.
45 min every morning and night.
Longer hill walks at the weekend

It was brutal. Felt like I was carrying a cross at times.

2️⃣ I ate the same meals daily.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks all dialled in.
Same time. Same prep. Same meals

Same removed the decision.
1 less thing to think or worry about.

I’m a man of effectiveness and efficiency.
I find what works and stick with it religiously

3️⃣ Train like you mean it

This was the easiest for me because I love training (more than restricting calories)

I loved following a Chest/Back, Shoulders/Arms, Legs, x2 split.

I done this for 12 weeks.
Challenged myself to get as lean as I could.

It was as challenging as it was rewarding.
But same goes for anything in life, right?

And I think that’s something worth noting -

My experience with a fat loss phase was it was depleting, demanding - it did not feel good to look this good.

I’d say I feel much healthier and happier NOT being this lean.

But the experience is something I think a lot of people would benefit from -

It’s not about the outcome of how you look,
It’s who you become in the process.

Reflecting back, I’m glad I pushed myself and proved I can do it.

And if I can, so can you

I got humbled yesterday

I studied a 90-minute presentation from a mentor I respect

And walked away realising I’d been doing it wrong.

The effort was there,
but the approach was wrong.

I’d been learning strategies and tactics without understanding the principles underneath them.

And without the principles, none of it sticks.

I’ve been making decisions in the dark.
Trying everything.
But nothing working.

Keeping busy.
All for nothing.

I think about this with training too.

Most women I speak to aren’t failing because of a lack of trying.
They’re failing because they’re trying an approach that wasn’t built for them.

More workouts.
More restriction.
More willpower.
Still no result.

The problem isn’t the effort.
It’s the approach the effort is applied to.

Sometimes the most honest question we can ask ourselves is:

Is what I’m doing actually working?
Not “am I trying hard enough.”

Is the approach sound?
Because if it was working, we’d already see it.

Maybe it isn’t always about doing more,
But doing better.

Have you been trying more but getting less than you expect?

Let me know if you can relate.
