You hit every rep. But how much did you have left? šŸ’Ŗ

Completing your sets is one part of deciding whether to increase the weight. Your effort matters too.

RPE tells you how hard the set felt. RIR estimates how many more reps you could have completed with consistent technique.

šŸ”¹ RPE 8 ā‰ˆ 2 reps left
šŸ”¹ RPE 9 ā‰ˆ 1 rep left
šŸ”¹ RPE 10 ā‰ˆ no reps left

If your programme calls for RPE 8 and you finish every working set with 4 reps to spare, a small increase may be appropriate.

If those same sets leave you grinding out the final rep with nothing left, adding weight probably isn’t your next step.

Judge all your working sets, keep your technique consistent and use your planned rest periods. These estimates take practice, so look for patterns across sessions.

Progress can also mean the same weight feeling easier, cleaner reps or more consistent sets.

Save this for your next session šŸ“Œ

Can you lose body fat and build muscle at the same time? Yes. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. šŸ’Ŗ

Body recomposition is absolutely achievable, but it takes more than simply ā€œeating healthyā€ and going to the gym.

You need the right strength training stimulus, nutrition specifically aligned with the goal, adequate recovery, good sleep, stress management and, most importantly, consistency across all of them.

The science isn’t particularly complicated. Executing it properly is the hard part.

That’s also why coaching matters. Body recomposition requires ongoing adjustments based on how your body is actually responding, rather than blindly following a generic programme or diet.

You don’t necessarily need to choose between losing fat OR building muscle.

With the right approach, you can work towards both. šŸ“‰šŸ’Ŗ

Train with purpose. Eat for the goal. Recover properly. Be patient.

I’m currently accepting a limited number of new online coaching clients at my current rate. Once these spaces are filled, my fees for new clients will be increasing.

My coaching isn’t about destroying you every session or judging progress by how sore you feel.

Progress is what you can consistently do better over time.

More weight. More reps. Better technique. Better recovery. Greater capacity.

Your training should adapt as you adapt.

If you want individualised programming, weekly progression and accountability, DM me ā€œCOACHINGā€ šŸ’Ŗ

I love getting stronger. Hitting a goal I’ve worked towards gives me a buzz, and that confidence stays with me long after I leave the gym.

But my reasons for training go beyond the weights I lift. I do it to look more athletic which makes me feel Iike I look good.

I train to feel good in myself. To look after my health. To stay capable, active and independent as I get older and to understand my body more.

It makes me feel safer, and more able to de-escalate situations. It gives me the sense of accomplishment that nobody can take away from me.

I want to give myself the best chance of a longer, happier life with my family, more adventures, more walks, more moments like this with my wife and Fur baby.

The personal bests matter to me. So does the life I’m building around them.

ONLINE COACHING — NOW TAKING ON CLIENTS

12 years of coaching experience. From complete beginners stepping into a gym for the first time, to experienced lifters and competitive athletes.

But experience isn’t where the learning stops.

Since starting my own fitness journey, I’ve never stopped training, studying, experimenting and developing my knowledge. I’ve gained qualifications and education well beyond my initial Personal Trainer certification because I believe being a good coach means continually becoming a better one.

I’m not interested in giving everyone the same programme and calling it coaching.

Your goals, your experience, your lifestyle and your needs all matter.

My approach is to work with you, not just train you.

Whether your goal is building strength, gaining muscle, improving your technique, changing your body composition, getting back into training or simply becoming more confident in the gym, your programme should be built around you.

I’ll coach the individual in front of me — not force you into a generic system.

šŸ“© I’m currently taking on a limited number of online coaching clients.

If you’re serious about training and want a coach who will actually work with you, send me a DM and let’s have a chat.
