What is coaching?

Anyone can write a training or meal plan, but that doesn't mean it's suitable for you.

Coaching is having the ability to get the best out of an individual by creating a plan that is suitable for them, and then enabling that person to understand how to make the most of it to achieve the desired outcome.

Another Rehab leg day.

Its not fun
I dont enjoy this

But I must do it to be where I want to be.

I am not - i will not be like everyone else.

Reaching your goals requires more than just physical ability. It requires mental strength.

Lifting heavy, relevant to your goals and potential, is important.

Are you ready to lift your heavy sets? That's what's in question here. Too often, I see people talking about saving energy for the heavy stuff. And although that is not wrong, it should not be at the expense of a well-structured and thoughtful warm-up/activation.

Being ready to lift heavy will actually help you lift heavier and help prevent injury and long-term issues.

Train with intent.
Train smart.
And you will reap the rewards long-term.

Why is your off-season food important?

Simply put, your off-season food shouldn't be very different from the food you're dieting on. The main difference should be quantity, not quality.

Same foods, different amounts, and the restriction of treats.

Keep things simple. 👌🏼

Here we go

Project Cardiff Half Marathon.

Im doing this in Support of the Anthony Nolan foundation. Inspiration can come from the most unexpected places. A close friend of mine has ignited a passion within me to take on the challenge of running the Cardiff Half Marathon on October 4, 2026. This isn't just any run; it’s a chance to support Anthony Nolan, an organization that is at the forefront of saving lives through its world-leading stem cell register and groundbreaking research in cell and gene therapy.

Every day, Anthony Nolan helps four patients in need of a stem cell transplant, offering them a renewed chance at life. This mission resonates deeply with me, as I have witnessed firsthand how vital this support can be for those battling life-threatening conditions. It is my hope that by participating in this marathon, I can contribute to their incredible work and help more individuals like my friend who have faced such daunting challenges.

I invite you to join me on this journey. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of many. Together, we can raise £300 to further empower Anthony Nolan's efforts in providing hope and healing to those who need it most. Let’s run for those who cannot and give them the chance they deserve.

If you'd like to show your support

When motivation is low, your discipline must take over.

Being injured bloody sucks.
Yet, you must remind yourself that without the discipline to rehab it, you will not fix the problem.

Take action.

Well done on starting your fitness journey.

Right here is when you either drop off or kick on. That choice comes down to the plan you have in place and the progress you have already made.

Don't allow yourself to lose track of the goal that got you started and what your WHY is.

Not everyone wants to be a bodybuilder. DM ME if you're in need of that guidance and accountability to get you to that healthier, happier place.
