MARCH NO-SUGAR CHALLENGE 🔥

I’m setting myself a challenge for the whole of March — and anyone who wants to join is welcome.

👉 31 days. No refined sugar.

This isn’t just about nutrition… it’s a mental battle. Most people don’t realise how dependent they are on sugar until they try to cut it out.

The Goal:
• Reduce sugar cravings
• Improve energy levels
• Feel leaner and less bloated
• Build mental discipline

THE RULES 👇

✅ Natural sugars are allowed
(Fruit, vegetables, plain dairy, natural yogurt)

✅ Bread is allowed ONLY if it has no added sugar
(Proper sourdough, 100% rye, or breads with minimal ingredients like flour, water, salt, yeast)

✅ Carbohydrates like rice, pasta, potatoes, oats, and quinoa are all allowed.

❌ No refined sugars
❌ No chocolate
❌ No sweets
❌ No crisps
❌ No pastries or cakes
❌ No sugary cereals
❌ No fizzy drinks or diet drinks
❌ No alcohol

Keep it simple:
👉 Stick to whole foods where possible.
👉 Check labels and avoid anything with added sugar.
👉 Be mindful of sauces and dressings — many contain hidden sugars.

Commit for one month and pay attention to how your body feels. Notice your energy, your cravings, and how your body shape changes.

It won’t always be easy — that’s the point. Discipline builds results.

TRAIN LESS. GET MORE RESULTS.

Sounds backwards, doesn’t it?

But here’s what I mean 👇

Most people think the answer is more sessions, more sweat, more grind.

In reality…
It’s about making every session count.

You don’t grow in the gym.
You grow when you recover.

If you’re constantly training without intent, without structure, without progression — you’re just burning energy, not building results.

What actually matters:

✔️ Training with purpose
✔️ Hitting the final reps with real effort
✔️ Following a structured plan
✔️ Progressive overload over time
✔️ Proper rest days
✔️ Sleep and nutrition on point

Three focused, intense, well-structured sessions will outperform five average ones every single time.

More isn’t better.
Better is better.

Train smart.
Recover properly.
Progress consistently.

COMPOUND MOVEMENTS ARE KING 👑

“If you just did legs, like squats, your arms would grow a little too. It’s a systemic effect — you’re working the biggest muscles in your body, and it has a knock-on effect, like dropping a stone in a pool.”
— Dorian Yates

That quote from Dorian Yates sums it up perfectly.

When you train compound movements, you’re not just working one muscle — you’re training the body as a system.

Think:
• Squats
• Deadlifts
• Bench press
• Pull-ups
• Overhead press

These lifts recruit multiple muscle groups, demand stability, and create a huge hormonal and nervous system response.

Why they matter 👇

✅ More muscle recruitment – Glutes, quads, hamstrings, core, back, shoulders… all working together.

✅ Greater strength gains – Big lifts build real-world strength that transfers to sport and life.

✅ Higher calorie burn – More muscle working = more energy used.

✅ Systemic growth effect – When you challenge the biggest muscle groups (like legs), the whole body adapts.

✅ Efficiency – If you’re busy with work, kids, life… compound lifts give you the biggest return for your time.

Isolation work has its place.

But your foundation should always be built around the big lifts.

No more “chest day” only.
No more chasing a pump without progression.

Train movements.
Train the body.
Get stronger everywhere.

Train with purpose, not just presence 💪

48 hour fast ☑️

People often think I’m crazy when I say I’m fasting and not eating.

But honestly — my body feels so much better when I do.

✔️ Less bloated
✔️ More relaxed
✔️ Better mental discipline
✔️ Fewer cravings

During the fast I only have water and black coffee (no milk).

I don’t train when I fast.
I take a proper break from the gym and let my body switch off and recover — which I think is just as important as training hard.

When I break the fast, I genuinely appreciate the food I’m eating instead of constantly thinking about food all day.

This isn’t something I recommend for everyone.
It’s just something that works for me, physically and mentally.

Everything has its place.
Train hard. Rest hard. Eat with purpose.

Make Training a Habit, Not a Chore

I grew up playing rugby, running, and training — for me it’s just a habit I’ve built over a lifetime.

But for a lot of people, training doesn’t feel like a habit… it feels like a chore. Something they have to do — the same way I see housework 😅

The thing is, training does so much more than just “burn calories”:
• Releases endorphins
• Builds confidence
• Improves mindset
• Keeps you healthy
• Makes you more sociable
The list is endless.

The key is finding a way of training that suits your body and fits into your life. When you enjoy it and have a routine, consistency becomes easier.

Over time, it stops feeling like effort — and just becomes part of your weekly lifestyle.

That’s when real change happens 💪
