Back from the trip and no training but eating restaurant food and fry ups every morning.

Had a decent pump today so took this... It's not the worst 😂🙌

Another progress post.

Absolutely awesome work so far from who's defied expectations and absolutely destroyed any goals she had initially. Amazing results thus far.

She's had 4 kids and in her 40's. So any woman that thinks it can't be done, I'd like you to refer back to this picture and see it absolutely can! Your only limited by how much you're willing to work and how consistent you're going to be.

Absolutely nothing but basic stuff done here too. Lifting heavy, often, with intent.

Just the beginning this too. Michelle has big goals now she's seen what is possible :) love it!

As promised, here's what the full 18 months transformation looked like..... Sorry, there wasn't many pics or videos when I was at my worst, I actually hated taking them.

From suicidal depression and being in the worst shape of my life to being physically and mentally, the strongest I've ever been. A total weight loss of 48kg over this period.... The first pictures aren't me at my biggest.... I never took any back then due to shame.

Proof it can be done. With the right mindset and consistency. Sticking to nothing but basics, and with food. That's it.

These days I'm grateful for these times I struggled. It's made me infinitely more compassionate towards clients and friends. Too many fitness professionals spout moral high ground rubbish without ever actually experiencing what it's like to have crippling anxiety, or have other challenges that many people face daily. Life isn't black and white... But hopefully this video will serve as comfort for people that think they won't improve, set a goal and take it one step at a time. You got this!

I'm quite excited to see where I can take things in another 18 months now. I want to put on as much muscle as possible now and see what I can do in that respect.

14/15 kg between videos here and the goal from this point is to grow grow grow. Eating a ton of calories now and training like a mad man... Eating so much in tilhis heat is hard graft but nothing worth doing is easy!

Wasn't going to post this but I'm really chuffed with the progress of my back. Not seen it in years literally and always felt it changing but never saw it. Can't actually wait to see how it looks when I really lean out now :)

Another results post - Liam has been an awesome lad to help out. Took on board everything and applied it from the start... When he first spoke to me it was actually his girlfriend that asked me to talk to him because his training was getting him down, not seeing results he wanted and getting very frustrated by it... So we sat down for a few hours and in that time I explained the bigger picture. Explained that what really matters is consistency, nutrition, rest and intensity in his training to be high enough to stimulate change. Nothing else...

The difference between these pics is around 4 months. With holidays in between too... Fantastic results.

43kg down between pictures. Gained back some weight in the last few weeks.

More motivated than ever now to absolutely smash the rest of this year :)

Another results post.

Work horse looking his best ever now before his holiday on Monday. Rich wanted to get fuller and leaner for his holiday so we got a plan together and he hasn't skipped a beat. By far the biggest and leanest he's ever been and now it's time to enjoy yourself mate!

There was nothing fancy. Just consistent hard work. And sticking to his food.

Here's something you don't see often. A progress picture where the after picture is actually AFTER a 10 day holiday binge. I wanted to post this to illustrate that when your primary concern isn't rapid weight loss, and you eat smart enough. Then when you go on holiday it doesn't mean you blow up like a balloon by the time you're back.... Has he gained bodyfat? Yes. Did he enjoy himself on holiday with zero guilt? Once again, yes! That's way more important than whether his abs are showing right now.

Josh has done incredibly well so far, juggling a brand new job with crazy work hours and some personal mental battles himself. Yet always finds the time to make it work and get it done....

We're using this after picture to set a new target for the end of the year and we're focusing on improving everything... Mass, condition and strength.... Josh is and always has been a pleasure to work with and a friend!

Here's to the next progress pictures mate!

Here's my final picture I'll be posting of myself until I hit my next target. Yesterday marked 12 months since I decided that things needed to change. I did it without telling anyone, I kept a hoody on, with my headphones and just worked my arse off. My initial goal was to get back in some semblance of shape, but as time went on, my strength skyrocketed my belief got stronger and stronger and as such, the goalposts moved along with my progress.

I've been pretty open about my battle with mental health recently, and have had so many people speaking to me about theirs and it's amazing that it's inspired others to charge of their own lives, seriously, you're all going to go on and inspire others yourself... Keep going! :D

In the first pic, I'd already lost a decent change of weight (believe it or not) so the difference here isn't as stark as it could have been, but it serves as a great placeholder and shows what tangible progress actually looks like. It's not something that happens over night. It takes time to reshape your body and the slower the progress, the more likely it'll stick, and the more likely you have your habits in place to make even better gains in the future.

My goal now is to grow, I won't update anything on it until I'm done... I want my right picture here to be my before picture in the next one, I want to level up now and put on so much more muscle.... I'm excited for the journey :D

If there's anything I want people to take from this it's that no matter how hard things seem right now. You absolutely can conquer your demons, and please, speak to me in the gym if you want a bit of motivation too, I'm always around :D

Here's another transformation post, indicating yet again that the basics never fail!

is a lifelong friend and she approached me during lockdown to help with her weight and wanted to turn her life around. She was seriously in the dumps, drinking quite heavily and needing a bit of guidance... So I got to work, explained what we needed to do and the timeframe we were looking at. Explained that, she's not going to do this in a few short weeks/months to undo the damage of almost a lifetime of neglect. This didn't phase her and she got to work on being consistent...

As the months went by, we posted pictures to show her dropping and used this to inspire and motivate others to do the same (hopefully it worked). The real goal however, was to find a balance, not the weight loss.... The goal was ALWAYS to improve her life, confidence and have her feeling her best.

Now, months after losing her weight, she's kept it off and kept a much healthier relationship with food and enjoys a night out like everyone does. This is about being patient and understanding that these results do take time but there's nothing more worth it IMO.

Weight loss between pictures is around 45lb. Absolutely tons considering her frame.

Zoe has done exceptionally well here, been ruthlessly consistent throughout most of the time and hasn't restricted herself in a way that she couldn't sustain and above all, she enjoyed the process as she did it. Now she's getting married and feeling the best she ever has. Proud as a bastard of you Zoe, you've smashed it 😆💪
