It’s funny how changing ONE area of your life can make you realise how much you’ve been settling in others.

You start with the gym.

You decide you’re fed up with going through the motions and actually commit to getting yourself into shape.

Your training has direction again.

Your nutrition has structure.

You start doing the things you said you were going to do, even when you don’t particularly feel like doing them.

And slowly, your expectations of yourself start changing.

You stop being as willing to settle.

Not just with your physique…

But with your career, your relationships, your environment and ultimately the direction your life is heading in.

That doesn’t mean getting lean suddenly makes you quit your job and start a business 😂

But there’s something powerful about proving to yourself that your current circumstances aren’t fixed.

That when you take responsibility for something you’re unhappy with, consistently make better decisions and give those decisions enough time…

Things change.

And once you’ve experienced that in one area, it becomes much easier to apply the same mentality elsewhere.

This message came from a client who originally just wanted my help improving his physique.

Now he’s leaner, happier, running his own business full-time and, in his own words:

“We’re only just getting started.”

This is why I believe the direction you take your physique and health will often become the direction you take your life too.

This is exactly why your gaining phase shouldn’t just be judged by how quickly the scales are moving.

I shared Robbie’s first transformation after we’d dropped 7kg and taken him to his leanest-ever physique.

But getting lean was only phase one…

We didn’t spend months dieting just to throw calories back up, chase scale weight and cover the physique we’d built with body-fat again.

We used that condition as the starting point to build from.

82kg → 75kg → 82kg.

17 weeks into his gaining phase and he’s regained the entire 7kg we previously lost, yet compare the 82kg Robbie we started with to the 82kg Robbie now.

This didn’t happen by just “eating more.”

We finished his diet on around 2,300 calories and now he’s eating 3,500 calories per day.

But as food has increased, we’ve made sure there’s somewhere productive for that additional energy to GO.

👉🏼 Training performance has continued progressing.

👉🏼 Volume has increased alongside his ability to recover.

👉🏼 Additional work has been directed towards the muscle groups that actually need bringing up.

👉🏼 Calories have been tapered upwards based on bodyweight, performance, recovery and visual response.

👉🏼 And we’ve maintained enough structure that getting heavier hasn’t simply meant getting softer.

This is where a lot of experienced lifters get it wrong…

They know how to diet…

They know how to “bulk”…

But they struggle with everything in between.

Get lean → push food too aggressively → gain weight faster than they can productively use it → lose the condition they worked for → diet again.

And repeat.

The goal after getting lean isn’t to stay as light as possible.

It’s to earn the right to become heavier.

📈 More food.
📈 More performance.
📈 More recoverable training.
📈 More muscle.

🔑 While keeping body-fat gain under control.

Robbie is now back at the exact bodyweight where we started.

Except this time, 82kg looks completely different.

And we’re nowhere near finished…

Getting lean is one thing. Knowing how to turn that condition into a bigger, better physique is another.

📩 If that’s the part you’ve struggled to get right, my DMs are always open 🤝

The fastest route to lean isn’t always a straight line…

Taking 1-2 weeks OUT of a deficit can sometimes help you get leaner more effectively than spending those same weeks trying to force more fat loss.

Especially when you’ve convinced yourself that the quicker you finish your diet, the better.

So when progress gets harder, your instinct is:

😤 Eat less.
😤 Add cardio.
😤 Push harder.
😤 Get it over with.

And often, that IS what you need to do.

But there comes a point where pushing harder starts giving you less in return.

👉🏼 That’s where a strategically placed maintenance phase can become incredibly useful.

For 1-2 weeks, calories come back towards maintenance predominantly through additional carbohydrates where appropriate - while training, steps and your normal structure remain in place.

❌ You’re not “coming off the diet.”

✅ You’re reducing accumulated diet fatigue, supporting training performance, making adherence easier and preparing yourself for another productive push.

And there’s another benefit that gets massively overlooked:

🔒 You actually practise MAINTAINING your physique.

Because eventually your diet HAS to end.

🚨 If the only two modes you’ve practised are aggressively dieting or eating whatever you want, it’s hardly surprising that maintaining your result feels difficult.

This is why a longer fat-loss phase doesn’t always need to be one continuous push from A → B.

Push → consolidate → recover → push again.

Could you have spent those 1–2 weeks losing more weight?

Potentially…

But the goal isn’t to lose as much weight as possible, as quickly as possible.

It’s to reach the physique you actually wanted…

👉🏼 With as much muscle as possible.
👉🏼 With productive training.
👉🏼 Without crawling to the finish line.
👉🏼 With the skills to KEEP the result afterwards.

💭 Sometimes the smartest way to move forwards is to temporarily stop pushing.

You don’t lose the race because you took a pit stop.

You take the pit stop so you’re capable of finishing it.

Cardio doesn’t kill gains… but poorly implemented cardio can.

The argument against cardio during a gaining phase usually assumes you’re doing so much of it, at such a high intensity, that it actually interferes with your ability to gain muscle.

But that’s not how we use it.

The goal isn’t to turn your gaining phase into half-marathon prep.

It’s to use the minimum effective amount to gain the benefits highlighted above, without creating enough fatigue to compromise your training, recovery or calorie surplus.

For most people chasing maximal physique development, that means:

👉🏼 Keep the majority low intensity.

👉🏼 Choose modalities that create minimal muscular damage and fatigue.

👉🏼 Keep sessions relatively short and manageable.

👉🏼 Avoid unnecessarily hard cardio around demanding training sessions.

👉🏼 Account for the additional energy expenditure within your nutrition.

👉🏼 Progress cardio based on what you actually NEED - not because more must be better.

Because yes, excessive endurance work can interfere with strength and hypertrophy adaptations, particularly as the volume and resulting fatigue increase.

But that’s a very different conversation from doing strategically placed bouts of cardio each week.

And removing cardio completely as soon as you enter a gaining phase can create its own problems.

As bodyweight increases while activity decreases:

❌ Cardiovascular fitness can deteriorate.
❌ Work capacity can fall.
❌ You become more easily gassed between hard sets.
❌ Managing body-fat becomes harder.
❌ The general health supporting everything you’re trying to achieve can decline.

Eventually, the physique you’re trying to build is being supported by a body that’s becoming less fit and less healthy.

That’s backwards.

You don’t need to choose between being muscular and being cardiovascularly fit.

You need to make cardio support your physique development rather than compete with it.

Cardio enhances gains when it’s implemented correctly.

And like most things in physique development…

How much and how hard you do it is what makes the difference.

The approach that BUILT your physique can eventually become the approach that STALLS it.

Callum’s the perfect example.

His first couple of years training went exactly how you’d expect…

He trained consistently, ate a well-rounded, high-protein diet and built a good amount of muscle.

But eventually, progress stalled.

Same approach to training.
Same approach to nutrition.
Same inputs.

Months passed with very little change in his physique or strength.

He was still turning up and doing the work, but he’d reached the point where he didn’t really know what he was doing anymore.

He was just going through the motions.

And this is where a lot of experienced lifters get stuck.

The approach that got you results initially won’t necessarily keep producing them indefinitely.

👉🏼 If your approach is stagnant, eventually your progress will be stagnant too.

So when Callum started with me, the answer wasn’t MORE.

It was DIRECTION.

Training with clear progression rather than simply hard sessions.

Nutrition with a clear purpose rather than simply “eat well and get enough protein.”

And after spending the previous couple of years around maintenance-small surplus, we used these 10 weeks to get considerably leaner and create a better position to grow from.

But here’s the best part…

His strength started progressing AGAIN during the diet after months of plateauing.

So this wasn’t one step backwards to take two forwards.

The diet itself was a step forwards AND created the runway for MANY more.

✅ 90kg → 82kg
✅ Leaner
✅ Stronger
✅ Training with purpose again
✅ Excited for what comes next

Every session now has something to chase and every phase has a reason for being there.

If you’ve been training for years but your physique has looked the same for the last 6–12 months, ask yourself:

💭 Has your approach progressed enough to expect your physique to?

Because working hard might not be your problem.

You might just need to give that effort somewhere better to go.

📩 If that sounds like you, DM me “PRIME” and I’ll show you how I’d approach getting you moving forwards again 🤝

Obviously I want my clients to get stronger, to build more muscle, get leaner and finally achieve the physique they’ve spent years chasing.

But those are often just the most visible changes.

Because there’s something that happens when you start proving to yourself, week after week, that you can actually follow through on what you said you were going to do.

✅ You train with more purpose.
✅ You take more ownership over your nutrition.
✅ You truly prioritise and invest in yourself.
✅ You start seeing the progress you’ve been chasing this entire time.

And gradually, the way you see yourself starts changing too.

📈 Confidence increases.
📈 Your standards rise.
📈 You become more ambitious.
📈 You carry yourself differently.

And that same mentality starts bleeding into your career, relationships and everything else you want more from.

That’s why the first message here means more to me than “I’m stronger” or “I look better.”

“I’m now in the mindset of optimising every aspect of my life.”

That is the real progress.

Because for a lot of the guys who come to me, the problem was never that they didn’t care about their physique.

They’ve usually trained for years.

They’re already willing to work hard.

They just haven’t had the structure, direction and accountability to consistently turn that effort into something they’re genuinely proud of.

And once you start doing that in one area of your life, it becomes very difficult to accept going through the motions elsewhere.

💭 How you do one thing starts influencing how you do everything.

Build the physique…

But use the process of building it to become the best version of the man underneath it 🤜🏼🤛🏼.
