You’ve been THINKING about your health and fitness (or lack of) ideas for MONTHS.

You saved that reel about protein timing, the screenshot of that recipe and bookmarked the article about sleep and cortisol. You’ve got a phone full of “I’ll definitely do this later” content.

But your belly calls BS on that still there. It’s still hanging off you an making you feel like a right old Scrooge.

Getting in shape isn’t about having the perfect plan. It’s about picking a decent one and following it for longer than three weeks.

You already know what to do. Eat more protein, lift some weight, move more. You’ve watched enough reels to teach a masterclass on it.

The difference between the bloke who drops 15lbs and looks like he lifts and you is he stopped collecting information and started doing the work.

father Christmas isn’t going to bring you a better body so you’re gonna have to pick up the slack.

Comment ARGOS below and I’ll send you my free 5-week Look Like You Lift diet and training program. It’s everything you need to stop thinking start doing.

‘I don’t eat that much’ - the classic BS that I hear most often when people can’t fathom why they’ve gained weight.

If you’re doing it properly you can eat a F**K TONNE of food and still lose weight.

The biggest issue is eating tiny portions stuffed full of calories.

The first picture is my lunch yesterday which came in at just 570 calories and includes 2 eggs, 2 slices of thick ham, a bowl of konjac noodles, an entire bag of salad, half a large cucumber, a whole pack of cooked chicken breast pieces, an apple (forgot to include it in the pic.

Needless to say after that absolute banquet I was STUFFED.

The second photo was my dinner and although the portion size was as disappointing as the modern star wars movies, it probably as double the calories and I was still hungry afterwards.

It’s not about eating less, it’s about consuming fewer calories. You don’t have to spend hours planning food or prepping meals into containers. Just pay some attention to what you’re eating.

Change the rules of the game in your favour.

Have you ever seen such a pathetically puny portion of chips in your life?

Remember Ronseal?

“Does exactly what it says on the tin.”

Simple, straightforward, no BS.

Getting in shape should be that simple too.

But most blokes (me included) try to turn it into rocket science.

I used to time my meals down to the exact minute, weigh food to the gram and track every macro like my life depended on it.

All that effort, precision and obsessing over details that didn’t matter.

I thought more effort and perfection separated the blokes who looked good from those who didn’t.

Turns out the secret is........that there is no secret.

Whether you’re trying to drop fat, build muscle, or just look like you actually lift, the basics work.

Train consistently, eat enough protein and don’t eat like a t**t at the weekends.

That’s it.

Just the fundamentals done properly for long enough that they actually produce results.

I’ve wasted years and hundreds of quid on absolute bo****ks so you don’t have to.

If you want a straightforward plan that does exactly what it says on the tin. AKA helps you ditch fat and build muscle without the faff, you need my free program, Look Like You Lift.

STRIP INTO CHRISTMAS - WEEK 3

Scale weight continues to be an absolute stubborn bitch. It stays the same for days on end then randomly drops, seemingly for no reason.

This is the head f**k that comes with focusing solely on scale weight.

I am really starting to see things tightening up from a visual perspective which is all I really care about.

Christmas is fast approaching which brings with it a lot more temptation and social events. Including a meal out for burgers this Friday.

All I can do is control what I can control and see what happens.

This isn’t a full on ‘shred’ anyway, it’s just a tidy up and that’s going really well.

Looking forward to seeing what I can do while navigating lots of festive fun.

PS - this has to be the best workout song ever written 🤘🏻💪🏻

25/11/2025

This week is going to be different. You have a ball sack full of best intentions, ready to hit the gym and finally keep your diet under control.

But then.........

Life comes flying in like Chuck Norris to deliver a swift but powerful kick to the balls and it all goes to s**t.

Your kids get ill, you feel obligated to work late when you should be prepping food and your life admin list is longer than your king sized trouser snake.

Most blokes crumble when their perfect plan falls apart.

They miss one workout and write off the whole week. One dodgy meal turns into a three-day bender of whatever’s in the cupboard.

But the T-1000 from Terminator 2 had the answer.

Adaptability beats perfection every single time.

Arnie shoots him. He reforms. Freeze him into a thousand pieces? He melts back together and keeps coming.

You need that same energy.

Short on time to train? Do 20 minutes instead of an hour.

Meal didn’t go to plan? Nail the next one and move on.

Progress isn’t lost when things go wrong. It’s lost when you stop adapting and start using chaos as an excuse to bin everything off.

The blokes who stay in shape aren’t the lucky ones with perfect schedules and zero disruption.

They’re the ones who morph around the problem instead of moaning about it.

Life will always throw chaos at you. The question isn’t whether it’ll happen. It’s whether you’ll adapt or crumble.

If you need someone to help you navigate the chaos and keep moving forward, check out Project X 1:1 Coaching. Link in bio.

“I’m trying to eat better.”

“I’m trying to move more.”

“I’m trying to get in shape, but it’s hard.”

Yoda had it right. Trying is bo****ks.

You either do something or you don’t. There’s no middle ground where “trying” counts for anything.

“Trying” is what you say when you want credit for thinking about doing something without actually committing to it.

It’s vague enough that you can’t fail because you never really started in the first place.

‘Trying’ to move more is meaningless.

Instead, take your steps from 5,000 to 8,000, work out how and when to do it and plan ahead for what could get in the way. That’s a plan, and plans either get done or they don’t.

Your food is exactly the same. ‘Trying’ to eat better is a big old lie you tell yourself to avoid accountability. Instead set some clear, tangible plans and targets which again either get done or don’t.

The difference between blokes who get results and blokes who stay stuck isn’t motivation or genetics.

It’s taking clear, defined actions.

You need a plan with actual numbers attached to it and the bo****ks to follow through.

Grab my free 5-week Look Like You Lift diet and training program using the link in my bio.

Or if you know deep down you won’t follow through on your own, drop the word JEDI in the comments and I’ll send you the coaching details.

Stop trying. Start doing.

You know what’s cool about getting older? EVERYTHING!

I see too many people bitching and moaning about getting old but to me that’s a weak and defeated attitude.

We can’t control the fact we’re getting older but you can f*ck right off if you think I’m going to accept getting old.

At 44 I’ve never been more confident, fitter or more comfortable in my own skin and I’ve certainly given up caring what people think of me.

Getting older means being able to rock a snoodie and slippers like a grandad because they’re warm and comfy and not giving a hoot about ‘being cool’.

But not getting old means still training hard, eating well, having energy, still socialising (maybe not QUITE as much as 20 years ago) and being able to rock out like a bad ass m**o.

I love a good sofa evening as much as the next person but I bloody love owning the stage and rocking out for 2+ hours because I’m physically able to.

Being 40+ is no longer the beginning of the end. At least it shouldn’t be.

Are you really prepared to live your life moaning about your age and how bad you feel for the next 40-50 years?

F*CK THAT! What a miserable way to live.

Invest in your health, your body and your attitude and make the most of your life. It’s not as long as you think.

Don’t get old. Get Old Skool.

You think I’d be god at video making by now wouldn’t you? But I still suck at it.

Standing in front of a camera, scripting content and trying to work out how to not look like a complete k**b is a real struggle.

It still feels unnatural and I can’t say that given the choice I’d still be doing it.

But that’s the weird thing about getting better at stuff.

We expect things to just “click” one day like there’s this magical moment where it all becomes effortless and you feel like you’ve nailed it.

But that’s not how it works 😫

Although I’m still a rank amateur, I’m better than I was. I’m showing up more consistently than ever and I care less about being perfect.

You’ve been at your attempts to get in shape for the longest time. Tried and failed with countless different approaches but it still feels impossible, doesn’t it?

You’re waiting for the day when eating well and training consistently just becomes automatic. When you don’t have to think about it. When it finally feels easy.

That may NEVER happen. But it does get less difficult.

You get better at navigating life and juggling everything. You stop fighting yourself as much.

But it never becomes effortless. Nor should it.

And because it doesn’t feel easy, you assume you’re doing it wrong and give up or end up in a stop\start cycle. Then wonder why you’re still not getting anywhere.

The blokes who actually make progress are the ones who accept it’s going to feel challenging and show up anyway.

I keep making these videos even when I feel uncomfortable because I know it’s the best way to help blokes like you.

You’ve got to keep showing up with your training and eating for exactly the same reason.

The difference is, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you want a plan and someone in your corner who actually gets what it’s like when things aren’t clicking yet, send me a DM and we’ll chat about coaching.

Should I just give up on this mini diet?

Sure I lost 2.1kg in week 1 and another 1.5 in week 2 but into the third week now and NOTHING is happening. NOTHING.

In fact, my average weight has gone up 0.1kg and as you can imagine that’s frustrating AF, especially given the calories I’m on......

HOWEVER, this isn’t the full picture.

In week 1 my training was P**S POOR, last week it got better, this week it’s been ruddy ACE.

So although my weight isn’t doing much there are other things to consider here and that’s where using progress photos and gym performance are invaluable if you want to keep your head on straight and not lose your sh*t just because the scales aren’t playing ball.

What’s VERY clear to me from the photos (START - LEFT, NOW - RIGHT) is that I’ve definitely dropped fat and I’m seeing more definition.

Seeing these changes in your own body is extremely difficult. Your brain will always see the worst and gloss over any differences. You’re almost incapable of evaluating your own progress photos. I’ve learned that the hard way.

Another 4-5 weeks to go with some hefty social occasions along the way (including the Old Skool Fitness Xmas Party).

This morning I was pretty deflated but now I’m filled with optimism.

Transforming you body is not easy and it’s not quick. I have to be upfront and honest about that.

But with a solid plan, accountability, support and a f*ck load of determination you can do it.

Here’s to a lean end to the year and a hench 2026!

Don’t get old. Get Old Skool 🤘🏻

They’re staring at me. Trying to bait me into shoving them into my face.

Custard creams. Bourbons. Digestives. All trying to derail my diet every time I make a coffee.

Every single day I have to avoid eye contact with them and their tempting ways, which is mentally knackering and willpower alone won’t cut it.

So I started buying malted milks instead.

Boring, dry, and largely tasteless. The kind of biscuit you can walk straight past without a second thought.

Your willpower isn’t the problem.

It’s that you keep buying delicious, high-calorie fun foods and then wondering why you keep eating them.

“But they’re for the kids.”

But that doesn’t matter. If you can reach it, you’ll smash it.

That’s why you don’t live with Jet from Gladiators 😉

You can white-knuckle your way through every trip to the kitchen, battling your own snack cupboard like it’s the eliminator...
..or you can just stop buying the stuff that’s your dietary kryptonite.

Swap the Bourbons for rice cakes, the Dairy Milk for protein bars and the crisps for... well, literally anything that doesn’t taste like heaven in a bag.

You don’t need more discipline.

You just need fewer things in your house that make staying on track feel like a full-time job.

There’s always that one bloke who can tell you exactly when to drink your coffee for optimal cortisol levels but still rocks up to work with his gut fighting its way out of his bulging shirt buttons.

I had a client like this.

He could recite every episode of Diary of a CEO word for word. Knew all about morning sunlight, cold plunges, and why seed oils were apparently the devil.

But when he showed up for his 6am session, he’d just demolished last night’s leftover curry and smelled of stale beer.

The problem isn’t that you don’t know enough.

It’s that you’re so busy ‘optimising’ the 2% that you completely ignore the 98% that actually matters.

You’re worrying about whether your bum hole is getting enough sun exposure while your beer belly makes it hard to tie your shoes.

You’re delaying your morning coffee by 90 minutes but eating like a bin lorry all weekend.

You don’t need another podcast episode telling you about the latest biohack or superfood.

You need to do the basic stuff consistently: train hard, drink water, eat enough protein, and stop eating like a t**t at the weekend.

That’s it.

No complicated protocols. No exposing body parts to the sun. No perfectly timed caffeine regimen.

Just the boring fundamentals done properly for 12 weeks straight. Minimum.

You’re trying to build muscle by eating more and training hard.

The scale’s creeping up, your jeans feel tighter, and that voice in your head keeps asking: “Am I just getting fat again?”

When you’re dieting, progress is obvious. The belt gets looser, your face gets sharper and you feel like a new man.

But when you’re building muscle it completely f*cks with your brain. You get scared it’s not working and this is where most blokes bail.

But here’s the one thing that keeps you sane during a gaining phase: GYM PERFORMANCE.

The weight on the bar going up., extra reps and that deep burn in your quads the day after leg day.

This is what Arnie lived for.

He wasn’t checking his abs in the mirror every morning wondering if he was too soft. He was chasing STRENGTH by adding weight and getting bigger.

Dudes like us grew up idolising guys like Arnie and Hulk Hogan.

Being muscular actually meant something. It was a badge of honour, pride and a sign you were a grafter. It’s not just about being lean or skinny.

You don’t need to cry every time you sit on the toilet after squats, but if you never feel ANYTHING, you’re probably pussying out and not working hard enough.

Some pain, some gain.

The muscle you’ve built will show up next time you diet. But right now, your strength gains are the proof you’re building something real instead of just spinning your wheels for another year.

Train hard enough that you know you’ve done something. Back it up with enough food and sleep. Trust the process even when you feel squishy like Stay Puft.

That’s how you build muscle properly.

Don’t get old. Get Old Skool.
