I have few new followers and i have never introduced myself officially 

My name is Michael but everyone calls me Mic, pronounced like mic in microphone 🎤🤣

I'm in my 30's, a Personal Trainer Trainer, Bodybuilding Fitness Competitor and Online Bodytransformation Coach. 💪🏾

I went through a pretty torrid time in my teenage years due to being overweight, suffering with serious confidence issues & hating the person that I saw in the mirror. Through strong support and a desire to learn and improve I have been able to carve a successful career in Personal Training and have helped numerous people to Perform Better, Feel better and LOOK GREAT! 

I got into training at my heaviest weighing 110KG, absolutely hating all things fitness related & overeating on junk food. At that time my nickname was "Fat Boy"😳

Through starting in stages i was able to transform my body to one which I am proud of, compete in Bodybuilding competitions & work on a Channel 4 show 🎥 as a BodyTransformation Coach - Britains Fattest People Show. Today i love all things fitness with a clear focus on looking after my body & pushing myself into the unknown. 

For the past 10 years I have helped people lose weight, increase mobility, train for competitions, build muscle and get ready for a special occassion or event.

I love my job and helping people develop into a better versions of themselves.

If you have any fitness goals and you keep doubting yourself get in touch. Always understand you can be whatever you wish too as long as your willing to put the work in!

Attitude over Ability 



06/11/2022

The intent of this post is NOT to say that any of these 2 options are better/worse than the other. I’m not trying to promote “diet-culture” or anything like that, actually I’m doing the opposite. This is just a topic that I personally struggled with & so I’m simply sharing my own experiences 😊👍⠀
⠀
One of the big things that “I am not about” is the whole thing of saying “eat this” “not that” because this is “ ” and this is “guilty” and this is “guilt free” and this is “dirty” or any of those UNDEFINABLE words. Basically placing restrictions on yourself based on made up beliefs. I don’t wanna raz anyone using those words because they can be used in the right context where it makes sense. However, when it comes to making progress (whether that is , , improving your performance etc.) what really matters is the net/net of your whole , not if this bar you’re about too is made with ingredients or not.⠀
⠀
So what I’m trying to show with this visual, is that if you simply focus on as “clean” or “healthy” as possible without paying attention to your overall /macronutrient intake you are⠀
1. Putting unnecessary restrictions on yourself (cuz guess what ? You can still eat & reach your 🤯) and⠀
2. You are just guessing that you are eating the right amount of (according to your goal) without actually knowing.⠀
⠀
Does that mean you should weigh out/ track everything you eat?.. no not necessarily, but levelling up your knowledge about calories will put you in a place where you can easier control your progress without putting restrictions on yourself. I get the whole intuitive eating trend and I’m all for it (I eat pretty intuitively myself) but there is a difference between counting calories tediously vs leveling up ur knowledge about cals/ and by doing so u’ll be in a better position to make choices that bring u towards your .!
Long captions are back I guess🤣 hope this was helpful, love u if u read all this❤️

5 SIMPLE MOVES TO BUILD A BIGGER CHEST

Easy and effective pec exercises that will take your chest growth to a new level

Why is it then, with Mondays literally being international chest day at commercial gyms and so many guys so focused on training their pecs, that a big, strong, well-defined chest, outside of hardcore powerlifting and bodybuilding gyms, is like trying to find a needle in a haystack?

Assuming volume and intensity are sufficient and nutrition is on point—it’s the exercise selection.

Chest workout as follows

Rower 500 metres - Record your time
Incline Chest Press 3-4 Sets 10 - 12 Reps
Flat Dumbell Chest 3-4 Sets 10 - 12 Reps
Decline Chest Flye 3-4 Sets 10 - 12 Reps
Cable Chest Flye 3-4 Sets 10 - 12 Reps

Push Ups As Many As Possible 2 Sets

Two great movements to build your glutes & hamstrings.

Stiff Leg Dumbell Deadlifts
Barbell Hip Thrusters

These muscles have a huge impact on your overall body strength; they help strengthen your core, and help to support a range of compound movements and exercises. Strong glute muscles also help prevent and avoid muscle imbalances that can lead to mobility issues.

Without sufficient hamstring development, which often comes alongside over-developed quadriceps, injury risk to the knee joint as well as the hamstrings themselves is greatly increased.

“I want to lose fat and gain muscle”

How many times have you sat wondering should I add muscle or should I lose fat first?

How many times do you start in one direction, only to become unhappy with the results and go the other way, effectively using a lot of effort to yo-yo between two physiques, neither of which you’re happy with.

I’m asked the question a lot of times in consultations of “which should I do first”

My answer is usually get lean.

Now depending on the client we can get lean FAST, get lean at a slower rate and focus on retaining every bit of muscle you have, or in certain circumstances, build muscle while burning fat.

Which one we choose comes down to a few factors:

1. How well our communication is on your recovery - the more we can understand what you can recover from, the more chance we have of nailing your perfect training volume

2. Your ability to stick to perfect nutrition - results can be bad with nutritional basics, however. If your goal is to make maximum progress, we need to make sure we meet all those targets that add 1% to your result

3. You need to train HARD. Your nutrition and training need to be set up so your recovery allows this week after week, and your mentality needs to be on point to execute this as perfectly as you can.

If you’re currently putting that effort in and NOT getting the results, drop me a message and we can see where we can improve things.

Major Benefits of Meal Prep🥦🍉
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Not in the habit of planning ahead? That may be a recipe for disaster.
The solution you’re seeking is simple: meal prep. Instead of going through the grueling daily routine listed above, welcome into your life the art of planning and preparing some or all of your meals in advance. This could mean making your lunch the night before, cooking in batch, or precooking all your food and portioning it out for the week in grab-and-go containers. 🍽🥘🍲
Some of the advantages of meal prep include the following:
⏰Saves Time: Preparing 3-5-days’ worth of meals in advance, although it may take a few hours, saves you time during the week. Meal prep eliminates the time spent on cooking daily and the time wasted on waiting for service at a restaurant.
💰Saves Money: One of the more compelling reasons to do meal prep is its economic benefit: you save money! On average, eating out is more expensive than cooking at home. Take a moment to calculate how much you would typically spend on lunch and dinner each week if you ate out daily.  Although there are situations where one may have no choice but to eat out regularly, i encourage everyone to at least try cooking at home instead.
📒Helps You Stay on Track: If you prepare your meals and healthy snacks in advance, you are less likely to go out and mindlessly grab snacks that may compromise your dietary and fitness goals.
🙋🏿‍♂️There is no one-size-fits-all approach or a ‘right’ way to meal prep, Meal prepping is a learning process, and it’s meant to help simplify your routine and lifestyle. It’s a success if you’ve made your diet more nutritious while saving time and money.👇🏿 DM me for ideas, food plans or Motivation 😁
