Throw back to many years ago competing and lifting 300kg to finish off the day. These days I have no interest in competing in powerlifting but the lessons and knowledge I learnt to reach them numbers are what have helped me coach all my clients to this day. Not everyone wants to compete in powerlifting but everyone should want to become stronger, training for these events will teach you that.

Building a great physique requires you to become stronger
To become stronger you have to learn how to stimulate your body and allow it to adapt over time.
You also need to learn all the other variables such as technique and what you do outside the gym.

Motivation is emotional.
Discipline is logical.
Purpose is what connects the two.

When training, dieting, business, or life gets hard (and it will), your brain looks for the fastest exit. If there’s no deeper reason attached, quitting feels logical.

A strong WHY removes the option to quit.

This post won’t make me money
But it could change your life..

I left school with 1 GCSE
I always believed that I wasn’t smart. I went through 4 years of college just to prove to myself that I could get into university, I dropped out within the first semester.

Fast forward to today, I run a thriving PT/online business, I have a family and home that I’m massively proud off, I’m in the best shape of my life.

How did this begin? It began at 21 years of age when I picked up my first book called “rich dad, poor dad”
That was the start of my personal development journey

I met a group of people who were obsessed with personal development and learning. It was like I had just been introduced to a new life that i didn’t know was possible, it made me realise what was possible in life. It made me realise that outcomes in school were not the deciding factor to whether you’re going to succeed in life.

What was? It was going to be building skills, building your character and having a CANI attitude(constant and never ending improvement)

The point of this post… I urge you to pick up that book and read it. I want you to have the same moment where you believe anything is possible as i did.

It will help change the way you think.
It will get rid of your limiting beliefs.
It will give you new perspectives.
It will help you acquire knowledge to achieve what you want in life.
It will improve how you communicate.

Whatever problem you have in life, there’s a book out there that will help you solve it.

Today I read at least 1 book a month and will do for the rest of my life. I hope you get started on your personal development journey. If one person picks up a book just from this post, I will have succeeded with my goal.

Have a boss day

Stop wearing a belt incorrectly

So often we see it in the gym. belts are not to protect your back, they are to create more abdominal pressure which in turn then allows you to move more weight because your creating more core stability. But most people don’t know how to brace or create more abdominal pressure without the belt which means they are not maximising the benefits of using a belt.

Learn how to use a belt
Learn how to brace
And make sure you wearing a good belt
And remember a belt is not protect your back, if your wearing a belt to protect your back then somethings wrong. Fix your technique, work on your core stability or maybe you need to go lighter with your weights.

How often do you see someone lifting 325kg in the gym
Especially someone who’s never touched a steroid in their life

Here’s a few things I’ve learnt over the years that led me to this lift

1. Lifting is a skill like everything else, frequency matters to able to learn and master the correct techniques.

2. It requires smart programming, going in the gym and just having a “I’m going to lift as heavy as I can” mindset every week just doesn’t work.

3. The more muscle mass you have the greater your potential

4. Deadlifts are not bad for your back, you’re just s**t at doing deadlifts.

5. If you want to move big numbers it takes time and consistent effort.

6. Sleep, food and rest is the most important component

Strength training is one major part of my BLS program, If you want to lose 1-2 stone over the next 90 days whilst getting stronger drop me a dm and let’s see if it’s for you

Most lads struggle to drop weight and lose body fat because they over complicate, they are under prepared and they are undereducated

You don’t need to eat chicken and broccoli, you don’t need to fast, you don’t need to do keto.

3-4 meals a day to drop weight, to perform and look your best is enough
Find out what your calorie allowance is to drop 1 pound a week or even 2 pound a week
Work out your protein goal to make sure you look and feel good when you lose weight
80% of your foods to come from whole nutritious foods 20% from flexible foods
And most importantly prepare! Success is in the preparation when it comes to fat loss
Failure to prepare, prepare to fail
Choose two days a week to plan and prepare your meals
Weigh your self often and adjust accordingly if the scales aren’t going in the right direction

I’ve got a fat loss check list to help you tick the boxes of to make sure you succeed. If you want it dm me the word checklist and I’ll send it over
