Client shoutout 🎉 - 100kg back squat PB 💪🏻
Big well done to Hayden today who managed to squat 100kg, having only started lifting weights, for the first time ever, in July! 👏🏻😍
An absolute pleasure to coach ✅ and just look at that pose next to the 100 keg 👌🏻😅
He's one of the hardest workers I've ever met 👏🏻 night and day difference in this guy's physique and how he thinks of the gym. I couldn't be prouder 😁
Over 3 stone lost since we started and he's only just getting warmed up 🙏🏻

Most people want 6 pack abs, I just want massive triceps 😂✌🏻
Really back into my groove training wise again and enjoying every session 🤗
I could be so many things nowadays - bigger, leaner, stronger... 🤔 but I'm trying to switch my mentality to mostly just caring about enjoying training and feeling fit for football 😂⚽🏃
One thing I was doing before covid was consciously trying to take the pressure off being what you think everyone expects you to be... 💭
I lost sight of that after the lockdowns and started giving myself a hard time again 🙃 but I'm trying to get back to that 2018/19 vibe and just enjoy the process and look how you look as a result 👌🏻 it worked back then and it will work again 💪🏻
Anyway, long post. Tried to link it to triceps. Probably didn't 😬

⚠️ Bring back good form ⚠️
Everyone starts somewhere, absolutely. It's not about being perfect from day 1, because nobody is... 🏋🏻‍♂️
But social media has everyone thinking you've got to squat 200kg at 20 years old and if you don't, you ain't s**t 🤦🏻‍♂️ as a result, a hell of a lot of people are squatting, pressing and deadlifting with the worst form ever and then putting a caption like "next we work on form" - I'm sorry, what was that? No lol. No ⛔
Please, just learn how to do the tough exercises properly... and then add weight ✅ please, for the love of god! 😩
Nobody cares what you leg press. I promise. Because if you're doing it with the depth of a paddling pool, it's about as impressive as my hairline 👍🏻 Same goes for squats. Same goes for presses. Same goes for everything 🙂
I've given out quite a few compliments to young lads (not like that) in Dedicated the last few weeks... not because they were squatting big weight, but because their form was awesome. And as the years go by, the amount of weight they can shift will increase - with that good form locked in 🔒
I know we're all addicted to likes and attention - I get it 🧠 But let's bring back doing things properly and let's take our time to learn and get them right first, before we try and do what lifters in their late 20s, who are advanced, are doing, okay? 🤓
Promise... It's not worth the pain of the cringe you'll experience watching videos back in 5 years when you realise 🤷🏻‍♂️

Over the last 12 weeks, I've been coaching my awesome client how to lift weights for the first time in his life 🏆😊
He's listened, learned, and most importantly, completely fallen in love with lifting 😍
Yesterday, we went on the hack squat and I asked him to do 10 reps, but with a controlled negative, a pause at the bottom and go as low as he can whilst keeping his heels flat on the pad. Sounds simple, but I know plenty 'big lads' who can't do that on the hack 👀 especially the depth bit 😂
Anyway, a hell of a lot of effort and 2 minutes later, he finished the set. Absolutely fu***ng brilliant 🏆 30kg a side on there, too 🤓
He's still improving every session, but that depth and control on a hack squat is something a lot of people can't replicate 👏🏻 mostly because... it fu***ng hurts doing it right 😂
Top man, Haydn! 😬 Plenty more to come 🏆

8 years as a PT and messages like this still get me all in the feels 🥺
This is from a previous client from 3 years ago when I first started at JST, completely out of the blue; along with an update as to how he's doing. Pretty bloody amazing ❤️
You can't change everyone's life in this job, but you can definitely have a positive impact on many of your clients. And that's one of the main reasons why I still love doing it 😁
🏆 proud of you my mate and thanks for the message 🤗

Legnesday in full effect with the boys 💪🏻🦵🏻
Unbelievable vibe today with Ash joining Paul and myself for a mega 2 hours of hard work and humidity 🥱🥵
Nothing beats training with people who want to work as hard and challenge themselves as much as you do 🏆 always takes my own training capabilities up several levels ↗️
PBs on leg press and pendulum today, with the usual 180kg for reps (4) beforehand ✅
Loved every minute 😍

- 232.5kg Deadlift PB 🎉🔥
Got a message a few weeks ago from Andy saying he wanted to deadlift again to see what he could do... and obviously, a PB is the logical outcome 🤔🥴😩😂
Never met anyone more structurally blessed for deadlifts 😂 he is genuinely built for it 💪🏻
PB aside, I really do miss training this lad regularly, so it means a lot that when he can do a session he still contacts me and we do what we've always done 👊🏻
Awesome work, mate 👏🏻 just 7.5kg off my PB now 😏

27/05/2021

"it's got to be 5..." 😬
✅ 180kg x 5
So close to all time PB at 4 plates now 😳
Can't quite put into words how switched on my mental strength has to be, alongside the obvious physical strength, to get more than 2 reps on this weight 😩
Only thing I can liken it to is not being the normal version of me during the set. If I was the Lee I am for work and chatting to people, I'd never lift it 😅 it is terrifying, as there are so many things to think of from getting it out the rack, foot positioning, keeping everything as tight as you can, going to depth; not to mention the actual bloody weight of it 🥺
Having the best hypeman in the game helps, though 💪🏻 🙏
It's taken 7 weeks of serious hard work to get 180 back to 5 reps, and the first 5 weeks sucked absolute balls 😕 Feeling weak, frustrated, but undeterred and remaining determined, even when I was failing after 2 reps 😑
That's the stuff nobody sees: the process. You have to suffer and go through the tough sessions to eventually get to the good ones ✅
We keep going 🚀

200kg back squat - 🥳💥😍✅
First time hitting this weight since Feb 2020 before the pandemic and probably the best looking 200 kilo squat I've ever done 😳🙌🏻
Today's session goes down as one of the best ever, no doubt 🔥
Focus, intensity, strength and hype were all through the roof and the numbers we both put up showed that 🚀
I can't put into words how hard trying to get our squat numbers back up to 2019 numbers has been, so I owe a massive thanks to for continuing in making me believe I can do more 🙏 the man is the personification of hype 😂
I'm ready for bed now, but a night of PTs with my awesome clients is about to go down 💪🏻

I thought sharing the Daily Mail article on my weight loss journey would be a good idea... 🤔
Seeing as a lot of people are trying to get back into their pre-pandemic shape and lose some weight, I figured my own journey could be a good source of inspiration for you on yours 🤗
The link to the article, which is from 2015, is in my bio if you want a read 📖
I went back through my IG and I haven't done a post about my weight loss journey, the 8 stone loss, or anything "I used to be fat" in well over 3 years, so I don't think I'm repeating myself too much with this today 😂
A lot of you never knew me as the old me...
In short, I had always been one of the bigger kids at school, then I progressively got more overweight through college, until I reached university and became morbidly obese... 🤦🏻‍♂️
I had more stones of weight than I had age - 22 stone at 21 years of age 🥴 Not good 😞
I decided to change my life. Managed to lose 8 stone in a year through serious dedication and, well, hard work life you wouldn't believe 😖
After I lost the 8 stone, I then started to fix what I had broken during the years of obesity. I looked terrible 😂 Better than before? Of course. But I knew I could continue to change my body and, as a result, hopefully everything else in my life ↗️
Lots of trial and error later, I became a personal trainer, started bodybuilding training, and began that journey 💪🏻
Without dragging this on... Trust me on this, if I can do it; you can, too. Anyone can ✅
I'm yet to meet anyone lazier than I was at 21 😂 Losing weight fixed everything 🙌🏻 I became a far better version of myself, with everything changing - from motivation to figure out what career to go down, to going out enjoying life and trying new things. It was a complete rebirth - as cringe as that sounds 🙏
If you're obese or overweight now, believe me, you have no idea what you can look and feel like. Seeing into the future is difficult, but I'm proof of what is achievable if you dedicate yourself to the goal 💪🏻

When you've got the gym at 12 and a basketball game with the 1996 Chicago Bulls team at 3 🐮🏀😂
This is my current shape in a vest, after lockdown 3, under very good lighting, with a pump, and posing ✅
Not happy whatsoever, but it's a start! 👍🏻
Main goal is to just drop some more body fat and get my delts and triceps popping way more than this 🚀
Despite having no calves, they are easily the leanest part of my body - football once a week for you that ⚽
Glad I haven't lost any size, but definitely time to get back to looking good in all lighting again - not just anabolic, flattering lighting 💡
We keep going ↗️
