Client update for 💪🏼

-10.4kg between pics.

Big drop in body fat and an impressive gain in muscle mass, creating that V tapered look.

Ruairi joined last summer wanting to achieve exactly this👆

Working in Amsterdam as an electrical engineer, his work is very demanding and takes up a lot of his physical & mental bandwidth.

Due to this, trying to get into this shape alone would be a big ask.

After our consultation and figuring out what I could do for him - it was a no brainer🧠🚫

Weekly feedback with touch points midweek on top of his program freed him up to execute without all of the decision making fatigue.

It makes it easier when he’s as strong as an ox🐂

I remember him not believing we’d hit the big 50kg on a dumbbell press, and I assured him we’d get there based on the rate we’re moving.

Of course we did🎯

This, accompanied by getting his bloods tested and overcoming shoulder pain allows him to keep performing at his best.

Currently he’s on a road trip across the states🇺🇸

Setting off Lunk alarms at every Planet Fitness he passes😅

His next venture will be to go from lean to shredded.

Just the beginning.

Top class mate🙌🏼

The more experienced I got in the gym, the more I realised how much of a skill it is to be able to stabilise the rest of the body whilst controlled a heavy load.

The purpose of this is to raise awareness of how it can affect results by not doing this correctly - so you get more out of each rep you do.

Even the slightest lack of stability can greatly reduce target muscle stimulation, so be very picky with your ex*****on if you want the best results💯

Fitness programs. It’s a very saturated market.

But it’s only saturated with basic service.

“A personalised training program”
“A nutrition plan” (just calories & macros)
“Exercise vids”
“A check in”
“Progress tracking”

This is expected.

You can access all of the above from a quick Google search.

And coaches can make a comfortable living off of these basics because people simply just love the accountability - which is fair enough, the games the game.

But what do you truly deserve?

You have one life, one body, one vehicle you live in - surely you deserve more?

Over the past 5.5 years this is what I’ve personally found to be worthwhile developments on top of the above basics:

Periodisation:
Training should be intentional, working towards a purpose in different seasons and having confidence in your reasoning to do so.

Lifestyle integration:
Everyone can stick to a plan regardless of what’s going on. Understanding the depths of the client’s lifestyle allows you to program more specifically and increase adherence.

Behaviour & Psychology:
Not being a full on therapist of course, but offering understanding and perspectives for people to help them through the inevitable challenges.

Teaching independence:
This is a large component on online coaching when compared to in-person. Independence is undervalued I feel for longevity in the coaching space

Communication:
Not just a check-in message but being there when people are low to pull them out of a hole. Additionally, breaking down complicated language that’s easy to digest.

You deserve better💪🏼

So you’re already lean, and you want to get shredded this summer.

But how?

Just as well you came to the right place, because I’ll tell you how😁:

1️⃣ Purpose
We normally recommend people to use intrinsic motivation for their fitness goals (i.e. self confidence), however when it comes to getting shredded, you likely need that extrinsic form of motivation (i.e. wedding, photoshoot, holiday). The truth is, you’ll never stay this shredded - so it’s honestly about finding a good enough reason to make the necessary sacrifices in the short term.

2️⃣ Needs analysis
You need to do a thorough assessment on your current situation. What your training is like, current diet, current lifestyle. Are the foundations in place? Once you know what your starting position is like, it’s easier to make the necessary modifications.

3️⃣ Acceptance
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In order to achieve the shredded look you desire, something has to give. Now that you have discovered the necessary sacrifices - you must be willing to accept they’re a natural part of the process.

4️⃣ Plan
Based on your current set up from your needs analysis, set the stage. Including the time frame. What are the daily and weekly targets in all areas you need to meet?

5️⃣ Track & adjust
What gets measured gets managed. Looking in the mirror after your shower isn’t good enough. The more things you track the more knowledge you have to make the necessary adjustments and succeed.

Assuming you have all of these points in place, all that’s left to do is to execute.

This is the easy part😅

Because you just follow a routine.

More time needs to be spent planning rather than just relying on pure will power.

And not enough people do this.

If this is your goal and you don’t know how to plan the process from lean ➡️ shredded, then I’ll do this for you.

All I need from you is commitment, and I’ll do the rest.

If this is you, shoot me a DM or complete the form in my bio to get started👊🏼

So you want to build muscle, but don’t quite know how to maximise results🧐

I think insta’s due a proper bulk update.

Kyle came on board wanting to build as much strength & muscle as possible.

After an initial tidy up phase, we’ve landed here👆🏼

+8.2kg difference in these photos.

You’ve heard it direct from him, strength has doubled and he’s the strongest he’s ever been (so far).

We done this by:
✅ Analysing his technique through form reviews
= maximise training efficiency

✅ Provide a training routine specific to his needs
= easy to follow whilst running his business

✅ Carefully control food intake
= improve recovery

You can listen to all the clickbait content in the world about building muscle, but nothing beats being personally coached week-to-week and applying regular feedback.

The fastest way to learn.

Time to get lean again before we push even further.

This is a great exercise to target the triceps of you only have access to free weights, or just want to add a new variety.

EZ bar > straight bar for better wrist joint health.

A good alternative is also dumbbells.

A lot of tricep work involves creating tension when the triceps are full contracted, so this provides a nice alternative where nearly all of the tension is placed when the muscle is stretched.

Give this a go to blow up the horseshoe on the back of your arm🦾

I asked AI to create a visual representation of what my outcome could look like if my inputs were different.

Just kidding.

This is how I look and feel after a pint👍🏼

Inputs = outputs.

It just so happens that my decisions of the past have lead to the outcome of where I am today (good or bad, form your own opinion).

I could have went down many paths.

I could have taken gear and built way more muscle.

I could have stayed playing football, gambled and drank every weekend (sorry lads).

I could have gave up the footie and decided not to venture into a gym back in Dec 2013, potentially making me look like the person on the left.

Where we are today is a result of past inputs.

Yes, environment, genetics, culture etc all play a role in the decisions we make.

But we still make the final call.

We have choice.

If your outputs don’t currently align with what you want, you’re in the drivers seat of change.

If your goal is to be in better shape this year, you’re in charge of the inputs that determine that.

You CAN do it.
.despite everything that’s thrown against you.

I’ve seen it happen with both myself and my clients.

Inputs = outputs.

And you’re the man in charge🫵🏼

Let’s get it✊🏼

You have access to the most amount of information, ever.

You know what to do.

But you’re still not doing it.

Saying you’ll do it by yourself but you’re still no further along.

It’s not lack of information or knowledge.

It’s poor ex*****on.

But it’s fine😄

Because I’ll show you how🫡
