Compartmentalising reps = GAME CHANGER.

This is something I started doing myself, back in the day, when I grinding out the German Volume Training (IYKYK 😮‍💨) - it got me through the insane (and unnecessary 🥲) volume! Now I use this approach regularly with clients to great effect.

…because sometimes the hardest part of a workout isn’t your muscular endurance… it’s your MENTAL endurance 🧠😅

So, instead of thinking:

“Ugh… I’ve got 12 reps 😩”

Try thinking:

“Cool — I’ve got 4 mini-sets of 3 😎”

Same work.
Same results.
Way less mentally torturous.

Honestly, my many years of training have taught me that the key to pushing to that place that forces REAL adaptation is the ability to fool yourself through it! 🤷‍♂️😂

Thought I would drop some literal nutrition nuggets for the anabolic bulb gang this week💪🏼💡

Pulled one straight out of my client recipe vault as it’s too good not to share with the masses 😌🤌🏻

This Taiwanese style chicken is awesome as a snack on it’s own or classically paired with sticky rice and a sprinkle of spring onions 😮‍💨

Alternatively soya noodles also make a great pairing if you want to add a tonne more protein and fibre as well as keep the carb content low.

Give it a craic and let me know what you think 😎

More detail for the 0.01% that read captions…

📈 Supports Lean Muscle Growth

Creatine supports hypertrophy through multiple pathways:

Indirect: Increased training volume and intensity, therefore greater mechanical tension

Cell volumization: Creatine draws water into muscle cells, triggering anabolic signalling

Molecular signaling: Upregulates pathways related to muscle protein synthesis

(Obv when combined with lifting 🤓)

💪 Increases Strength & Power

Creatine increases intramuscular phosphocreatine (PCr) stores. PCr rapidly donates a phosphate group to regenerate ATP, the immediate energy currency used during short, high-intensity efforts (e.g., heavy lifts, sprints).

More ATP availability = greater force output and improved power production during maximal or near-maximal efforts.

🏋🏾 Improves Workout Performance

By replenishing ATP faster between sets, creatine improves:
• Repeated bout performance
• Peak power maintenance
• Total training volume

This is especially relevant in workouts involving short rest intervals or repeated explosive efforts - potentially more reps/repeated efforts 💪🏼😤

🔄 Enhances Recovery

Creatine may:
• Reduce exercise-induced muscle damage
• Improve calcium handling in muscle cells
• Support faster phosphocreatine resynthesis post-exercise
• Can lower markers of inflammation and oxidative stress

This equates return to baseline strength and improved readiness for subsequent training sessions 💪🏼

🥊 Boosts Muscular Endurance

Creatine improves the ability to sustain repeated high-intensity contractions (sprinting, lifting etc…) by:
• Maintaining ATP availability
• Delaying fatigue from phosphocreatine depletion
• Supporting buffering of metabolic byproducts (indirectly)

🧠 May Enhance Memory & Cognitive Performance

The brain relies on ATP just like muscle. Creatine:
• Increases phosphocreatine availability in neural tissue
• Supports energy metabolism during cognitively demanding tasks
• May reduce mental fatigue, especially under sleep deprivation or stress

So, if creatine isn’t in your reppy repertoire, what are you waiting for? Go get you some ergogenic excellence 🏆🤌🏻

ORTHOREXIA; an unhealthy fixation with following a “perfect” diet.

Not good.

There is no perfect diet.

Hyperfocusing on a “perfect” diet often backfires because perfection in nutrition doesn’t really exist—and trying to achieve it can create stress, rigidity, and guilt. When food choices dictated by rigid rules set by perceived ideals, things can start to spiral. This mindset is linked to increased anxiety around food, social withdrawal (avoiding meals with others that don’t meet your standard 😬), and a higher risk of disordered eating patterns.

Ironically, the mental stress and all-or-nothing thinking can undermine physical health just as much as a less-than-perfect food choice.

Flexibility, on the other hand, supports long-term consistency. Allowing for variety and imperfection makes a way of eating sustainable in real life—across holidays, busy weeks, cravings, and changes in routine. When no foods are “forbidden,” there’s less rebound overeating, less guilt, and a more stable relationship with food. Over time, consistent, MOSTLY nutritious choices—made without constant self-policing—do far more for metabolic health, energy levels, and body composition than short bursts of rigid perfection.

In short, health is shaped by patterns over months and years, not by “perfect” days. A flexible approach protects mental well-being, encourages adherence, and ultimately leads to a healthier body and a healthier relationship with food.

Post-meal glucose spikes are normal - and obsessing over them isn’t helpful (it’s even possibly harmful! 😟)

Blood glucose is supposed to rise after eating — it’s how your body delivers energy to cells.

Temporary spikes ≠ metabolic damage in healthy people.

Glucose readings are simply a snapshot, influenced by stress, sleep, hormones, exercise, and meal size. A spike isn’t an automatic alarm bell 📈🚨

Weight loss is driven by long-term habits and energy balance — not flattening glucose curves.

Avoiding nutritious foods just to keep glucose low can hurt diet quality and adherence.

To a metabolically healthy individual, constant blood glucose monitoring offers very little other than increased food fear and added stress (which, ironically, can raise blood glucose 😬)

Bottom line:

Health isn’t about eliminating normal fluctuations — it’s about how well your body handles them over time.

Don’t make it ant more complicated than it needs to be if you’re making a change this year 🙏🏻

As the New Year beckons, it’s tempting to set all your health goals at once: build muscle, lose fat, run faster, eat perfectly, sleep more, stress less. The motivation is high, the list is long—and the progress often ends up being underwhelming.

Here’s a powerful reminder for the year ahead: PROGRESS FAVOURS FOCUS.

In training and nutrition, chasing multiple goals at the same time usually means dividing your energy, attention, and recovery. You end up making a little progress in many areas, but rarely meaningful progress in any one of them. Your workouts become compromised, your nutrition becomes inconsistent, and frustration creeps in when results don’t match effort.

Hyper-focusing on a singular goal, on the other hand, changes everything.

When you commit to one clear objective—whether it’s fat loss, muscle gain, improving performance, or building better eating habits—every decision becomes simpler. Your training supports that goal. Your nutrition reinforces it. Your recovery aligns with it. Instead of spreading yourself thin, you create momentum. And momentum creates results.

This doesn’t mean other areas fall by the wayside. It means they temporarily take a back seat while one priority moves forward significantly. Over time, these focused phases stack. One win builds confidence, discipline, and clarity for the next goal.

This New Year, resist the urge to do everything at once.
Choose one goal. Commit to it fully. Execute relentlessly.

Be resolute in one, singular resolution, not half-arsed in impractical intentions ☺️

Here’s to a year of clarity, intention, and real progress. 💪🎉

Super good to have JK Way nutrition sponsored athlete (of the unstoppable crew) stop by for a catch-up yesterday 💪🏼

So proud to play a role in this humble assassin’s journey; a journey that has led him to overcoming set-backs and dream-shattering injuries to making major statements on the world platform for team GB at the world championships this year! 🏋️‍♀️
-
I probably owe more to this lad than he owes me; guiding his nutrition through kidney trauma where high-protein approaches can pose an issue, navigating aggressive weight cuts without compromising performance, optimising recovery strategies for tough training blocks, helping to rebuild post-injury…it’s tested my knowledge and made me dig deep, but I’ve come out a more well-rounded nutritionist for it! 🤓🍎

Long live the mutual sharpening of steel ⚔️

P.S. You know I had to see how many JK reps my boy could get on the human-loaded lat pulldown! 💪🏼😂

One of my favourite parts of being a nutritionist in the fitness arena is having the opportunity to help athletes make weight - especially when we can do that COMFORTABLY and ensure they still have enough in the tank to perform at 100% on the day 🙏🏻

Loved offering a little guidance to seasoned fighter Serghei and new machine on the scene, Harry recently for their respective fights 💪🏼

Of course, it’s always a pleasure to work with my man Josh - forever honoured to be a part of this future WORLD BEATER’S journey 💪🏼😤 (look out for him at the World Weightlifting Championships in Norway next month with team GB! 🇬🇧)

Well done, folks! Thanks for trusting in your boy for guidance 🙏🏻
