My Bodybuilding Show Season Recap🏆

Well here we have it, 8 months of pure dieting, pure graft day in day out. My first bodybuilding vendetta.

This year was a whole new experience compared to my first showing being in 2019 as a men’s physique athlete. (Swipe to see the 5 year transformation!)

So that’s posing trunks for bodybuilding & board shorts for men’s physique, meaning different poses, legs on show & a lot more muscle is needed.

And what a ride it was, I learnt & experienced a lot. Yes I would have liked higher placings but I know where I stand in the bodybuilding category now and I’ve improved drastically since 2019 and that’s the main thing.

I’ve improved in every aspect possible, and competing in this category back then wouldn’t have seen me placing so I’m proud of that.

I’m truly content with what I achieved this year, doing this all whilst running my own full time coaching business which back then was no where near the level it is at right now.

So I can safely say I’m happy, but always wanting more is what I strive for in all aspects of life. So me wanting to do better is only normal for me.

At the end of the day beating your former self is what everyone should be striving for & I’ve done just that.

It’s You vs You🤝

But when we do go again we will be aiming for the top spots, 2-3 years out minimum needed as we need more size aka more muscle all over.

So until that day comes we keep on growing, the gaining phase starts now!

How important is guidance❓

Well you could ask my client David

Who wasn’t seeing much change at all to his physique or progress in the gym

All because he was lacking the guidance to get him from A to B.

He was new to having proper structure & actually following a plan

That was enjoyable for him and suited his lifestyle

Which is so important!

Because there is one thing not having a plan

But then if you have a plan you don’t enjoy or doesn’t work for your work life

Then you will never stick to it & then see no progress.

So that’s what I gave David, the guidance necessary

For him to excel in his progress,

He now looks fantastic with visible changes to his midsection

And overall strongest he’s ever been.

You too can be in the same position!

If you find you lack guidance towards your goals then I can help you…

All you have to do is be ready to start & get to work

STOP Wasting Time⏳

I see this time & time again,individuals who want to achieve their goals, better their health & want to feel confident again.

But…

They keep wasting time not taking any action towards anything

You have got to start putting in the time to actually achieve any of these 3 things

I’m afraid praying really hard isn’t going to cut it.🙏

Start making the effort & you’ll start seeing the results

Nothing in life that’s really worth having comes easy

That means you have got to put the work in.

NOW is always the best time to start

when it comes down to your goals,

health & confidence!🙌

Are You Struggling To Grow Your Arms❓

Well then I’ve got you sorted, here are a few things you should be focusing on!⬇️

➡️Contractions
Make sure you are feeling each exercise you do. It's too easy to just swing a barbell up and down without actually using your biceps, all you are doing is using momentum. Drop the weight, get full ROM & actually use your arms & squeeze them hard.

➡️Volume
Now when it comes to volume I like to do 6-8 sets for bicep & triceps split between two different variations of exercises. Focusing on keeping the rep range between 8-20 reps, whilst still working on progressing weight/reps each week. There is no need to be doing heavy sets for 4-6reps, all this will do is put yourself arms in a vulnerable position to get injured & isn’t worth the risk.

➡️Do your heavy pull & push exercises!
Our arms are always being put under heavy load whenever we do any heavy pulling or pushing movement, the bicep is the secondary muscle & when doing any pulling movement & our tricep is the secondary muscle when doing any pushing movement. So making sure you are not just focusing on doing curls and extensions but also training heavy when targeting our much bigger muscle groups.

You’ve Just Got To Start Now…

One thing I always hear is

“I’ll start when it’s a better time”

So if nows not a good time then when is?

It will likely end up being never

Unless you just start now.

Don’t put your goals & happiness on hold just for a couple weekends & events🙅‍♂️

They will always be there, they come around all the time.

Plus you don’t need to sack these weekends & events off

We can make sure you’re prepared for them when they come around

You have just got to start now.

Input health lifestyle choices

Proceed with starting your journey

Watch your goals become reality

And see how your happiness starts to glow.✨

Take Chris for example

He was slightly hesitant to get started

Had a busy job which involved being at a bar several days a week

Which meant booze & food was all round him

Along with lots of events

But guess what he started there & then.

What we achieved in 10 weeks:

20lbs Fat Loss✅
Total Mindset Shift✅
Confidence Sky High✅
The Best Shape Of His Life✅

Phenomenal work & you too can do the same…

All you have to do is start now!

If you’re ready then drop me a DM with the word ‘𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐋 𝐔𝐏’ & together we can make this happen!🤝
