Grew my hair
Grew my beard
Cut my calories
Got a tan
Still got a weird bellybutton.. 🤷🏻‍♂️
-
First time in forever in trying to make a conscious effort to get leaner over the past 8-9 weeks
-
Definitely an interesting experience & hopefully can use it to relate to some of my clients
-
Nothing drastic.. ate is a calorie deficit 80-90% of the time, did some HIIT training for cardio a couple of times per week and continued my powerlifting training 4-5 days per week
-
As a coach I understand the principles of fat loss quite well but doing it is a different story
-
There was times when I was hungry, had low energy, s**t sessions and thought f**k it multiple times
-
I learnt to be smarter with my calories, spread them across the day, time my carbs before & after training and realise that I don’t have to eat at the first feeling of hunger
-
But..to be honest, I can’t wait to get back to eating for powerlifting 🍩 and focus on get stronger
-
Now to either get fat or more skinny over the next 4 weeks in Vietnam 🇻🇳
-
See yous soon ✌🏼

Do you find yourself putting off or skipping gym sessions because of a lack of time? It’s all something we can relate to, some days you’ve just been so busy that you really struggle to get the time. There are 101 other things you could be doing with that 60 or 90 mins
-
When you skip sessions, you feel guilty, become demotivated to train and fall into the spiral of thinking what the point of even continuing your efforts
-
If you think you don’t have time to train, that is a lie. Everyone has the same amount of time in the day. The problem is whether training is a priority in your life at the moment
-
But, there are some things you can do to make the process easier so when you do get to the gym, the valuable time you have isn’t wasted
-
You don’t need to think that you need to be spending 2-3 hours in the gym 5-6 days a week to get in shape. In fact, for many this may be counterproductive
-
Instead, decide on a realistic amount of days you can train, pick which days these sessions will fit into your schedule easier and have a plan when you get to the gym
-
As a coach, I am conscious of and respect that people have busy lives outside of the gym. That’s why I design all my 1-1 and Online sessions to get the most out of the time available. From choosing the exercises that are going to be most “bang for your buck” to grouping exercises together in a particular order and having a pre made plan before you step into the gym. I also guide you on the weights, sets and reps to use so that you can lift consistently throughout the session
-
These are just some of the tools I use to get the most out of that 45-60 mins you have to train, making it more manageable and leaving you feel more motivated to make the time in the future

A lot of men struggle with taking advice.. I know I do at times 😂. We like to think we know it all, especially when it comes to the gym. This “set in our ways” mindset can often lead to not making any progress with our lifts in the gym
-
That feeling when you start going to the gym, see amazing strength and size gains and then 6-8 months down the line, it dramatically slows down is something we have all experienced if you’ve been training for any length of time. Why can’t gains just continue forever?
-
You have two options here. Either you can try figure it out yourself by learning about programming & nutrition principles you can apply to yourself or you can hire a coach to do the work for you (also something I still do myself with ). By hiring a coach you can take away the frustration of not making the progress you want & means you don’t have to wreck your brain every week with numbers & percentages etc
-
There are 100’s of free training programs online, some of which are actually not bad and chances are you will see some progress for a while if you stick to them but there is only so many times you can rinse and repeat this formula before progress stops. The issue stemming from the lack of individualised changes & specificity you need for continued progress
-
In my opinion, coaching is more than just %’s, sets & reps. It’s about building a relationship with your client, seeing what works & what dosent work through trial & error and listening to how they are feeling on a week to week basis, all of which you won’t get with online cookie cutter programs
-
My Online & 1-1 clients receive 🔹Updates to their training & nutrition programs every week depending on how the previous week went
🔹Weekly check ins to see how they are feeling, tackling any issues they had during that week
🔹24 hour WhatsApp support from myself
🔹And most importantly, accountability (i.e. me being on their case)

About 8 weeks ago, Tom made the decision to come to me and invest his money into making a better version of himself
-
He was sick of not seeing any progress in the gym and felt he needed that guidance and support with his nutrition. Tom plays Aussie rules football so wanted to get stronger and leaner to improve his sports performance & fitness
-
Beforehand he was following a typical bodybuilding split, training each body part each session. I changed things up to 3 full body sessions per week focusing on strength and explosive power (with a few sick pumps in there aswell)
-
He enjoyed the benefits of both worlds through 1-1 and online coaching from myself allowing me to still have an overview of his training & nutrition outside of our 1 hour slot, make the necessary changes and continue progress
-
His strength & technique within the gym has improved dramatically. Here he is smashing a 110kg x 5 Box Squat PB. As well as that he has lost a total of 15cm from his measurements and just under 1 stone in body weight
-
Im real proud of the progress and work he has put in over the past while but I know there is more to come
-
No restrictive lifestyle or fancy training methods, just the basics with some hard work, consistency and accountability
