How much does a Freddo cost nowadays and why isn’t it 10p?!

Millennial maths hurts my brain. Everything costs a fortune and 1996 was surely not 30 years ago?

Who else wants to go back in time?

And how much does a Freddo cost now?

A Mars a day helps you work, rest & play.

8 Mars bars a day makes you fat.

Picture this……

It’s Friday night, you’ve eaten well all week and you’re feeling as GRRRRREAT as Tony the Tiger.

At the pub that first pint goes down easy. As does the second.

By pint four you’re not even thinking about it anymore. You’re just having a laugh with your mates.

Eight pints later you’re stumbling home thinking “at least I didn’t eat badly today.”

Except you just drank 2,000 calories, which is a whole day’s worth.

This is why your belly isn’t going in the right direction.

You wouldn’t sit down and smash 8 Mars bars in one sitting. People would think you’d lost the plot.

But 8 pints is just a normal Saturday.

I’m not telling you to stop drinking.

I’m telling you to count it the same way you count food.

Because your body does.

Comment ‘LLYL’ and I’ll send you my free 5-week Look Like You Lift program.

It’ll work out your daily calorie and protein targets so you can actually see where those pints fit in alongside getting buff AF.

You sit down at the restaurant and everyone is salivating as they order starters.

Your mate orders garlic bread, your missus is getting the halloumi and some greedy gannet is already asking if you’re getting a pudding.

The pressure is building and you don’t want to be the boring ball bag ordering just a main.

“Go on, treat yourself. It’s Friday night.”

So you do…..

Before you know it you’re balls deep into a feast of starter, main, dessert.

Oh, and three pints. 

By the time you’re walking back to the car you’re so full you feel like you’ve been kicked in the stomach.

Somehow you convinced yourself that enjoying a meal out means eating everything on offer.

It doesn’t.

You can have a brilliant night out with mates, enjoy your food, and not leave feeling like you need to unbutton your jeans so you don’t make yourself puke.

Just man up and stick to your guns.

Order a main and have a diet Coke (well, Pepsi Max if you want to be a total legend).

You’re not being boring. You’re being an adult who doesn’t need to prove anything by eating until the food pours out your eye sockets.

Go for quality over quantity.

Follow for more no-bo****ks tips on balancing a social life with getting buff as f*ck.

On Monday you smash it out the park. Meals prepped, gym session done and feeling unstoppable.

Wednesday you had two biscuits with your coffee in a moment of weakness.

Thursday you skipped the gym because you were knackered.

Friday you had a few beers and a takeaway because it was a tough week.

Now you’re balls deep in regret thinking “f**k, I’ve ruined it….AGAIN.”

You haven’t.

Let’s say you hit your protein four days out of seven, trained twice and your steps are decent.

That’s not failure, it’s real life.

It’s not that you need to be perfect but you’re judging yourself like you need to be.

You just need enough good decisions, often enough, for long enough.

Hitting 80% of your targets consistently will always beat hitting 100% of them once in a blue moon then binning it off.

Comment BOXES below and I’ll send you my free 5-week Look Like You Lift program to help you stay on track.

It’ll show you exactly what to focus on without overthinking every single decision.

January’s nearly done and you’ve read 47 Instagram posts about the best approach to getting in shape.

But just ask yourself how much you’ve actually done.

You didn’t learn to play Doom by watching other people play it.

You didn’t spend three weeks reading strategy guides before you started.

You just fired up the PC and figured it out.

With fitness you don’t need a PhD before you’re allowed to start.

You just need to do three things consistently.

1️⃣ Lift weights a few times a week.
2️⃣ Eat mostly whole foods with plenty of protein.
3️⃣ Stay active.

That’s it. That’s the cheat code you’ve been looking for all this time.

Just the basics done repeatedly until they work.

Three weeks ago you were buzzing to get started torching the Christmas body fat you’ve been hanging onto for the last 5 years.

A new year, a fresh start and this time was going to be different.

You had all the energy, all the intention, all the motivation you needed to finally sort yourself out.

Yesterday was ‘Blue Monday’ and you’re feeling it.

The excitement’s gone and you just can’t be arsed when it’s cold and rainy.

The gym is full of PEOPLE, feels like a chore and tracking food isn’t as fun as doom scrolling.

Motivation always fades. It’s great to get you started, not keep you going.

What keeps you going is caring enough to do the boring, repetitive stuff even when it stops being exciting.

The blokes who get in shape this year aren’t more motivated than you.

They’ve just decided their health and how they look matters enough to keep showing up.

Even on Blue Monday, Pink Tuesday and even Orange Wednesday’s (remember them)?

A plan to follow when the motivation runs out and you need something to keep you focused and taking action.

How many more new and ‘revolutionary’ approaches are you going to try every January?

They’re all as bad as each other. Keto, carnivore, or some 28-day shred you saw on Instagram that promised abs by February.

Now you’re knackered, stressed, and no closer to where you want to be.

These things sound like the brilliant missing piece you’ve been searching for.

But they’re designed to hook you in, not to last.

They demand so much effort and restriction that you can’t sustain them past a couple of weeks.

You’re left wondering what’s wrong with you and why can’t you stick to anything.

Nothing’s wrong with you. The approach is the problem.

I wasted YEARS bouncing between this sh*te.

Always chasing the latest thing that promised to be different.

The only things that actually works and doesn’t require you to commit every waking moment to it are the fundamentals.

Lift weights 3-4 times a week.
Eat mostly whole foods with plenty of protein.
Don’t overcomplicate it.

It worked for Arnie. It still works now. And it’ll work for you.

Not because it’s magic, but because you can actually stick to it without making your life miserable.

2026 is already 3 weeks deep. How much longer can you afford to leave it before you get serious?

Maybe you jumped into something too intense and couldn’t stick to it.

Or maybe you’re still paralysed by all the conflicting advice, unable to commit to anything because you don’t know what’ll actually work.

Either way, you’re frustrated and you’re running out of January. If you don’t step up ow 2026 could be done and gone before you know it.

Right now every fitness influencer is selling you a different approach. One says carbs are the enemy. Others are pushing ice baths and fungus supplements. Someone else is banging on keto diets and clean eating.

It’s exhausting trying to work out who’s right.

Meanwhile, the basics that actually work, ya know, lifting weights, eating protein etc get drowned out because they’re not sexy enough to sell.

But those basics are exactly what ‘Look Like You Lift’ gives you. A complete plan that cuts through all the noise.

It works out your calories and steps for you.

You get to pick a training plan that fits your experience and schedule.

Then you just follow it.

No guessing. No second-guessing. No jumping between approaches every three days.

Just a proven system that tells you exactly what to do so you can stop wasting January and start making progress.

Alright, alright. I’m not normally a trend hopper but call me a basic bitch and have a look at these photos from 2016.

It was the year our family was complete, I invested in my own gym and I built a floor to ceiling Duplo tower.

What more could a man ask for?!

Accrington Stanley? Who are they? Exactly.

If that line just hit you with a wave of nostalgia, you’re my people.

We grew up believing Ian Rush was brilliant at football because he drank milk. Not because he spent hours training. Just... milk.

Decades later, we’re still doing the exact same thing.

Only now we fall for the latest supplement promising shredded abs in 30 days.

You know deep down it’s bo****ks, but there’s always that tiny voice going “what if THIS is the thing that finally works?”

I’ve been there and spent hundreds on stuff that promised everything and changed nothing.

The sobering reality for many is the boring basics (lifting weights, eating well and being active) get ignored because they’re not exciting enough to sell.

The basics don’t need to be sold. They just need to be done.

If I can do it then honestly, you can too. I really mean that. I’m not just blowing smoke up your beautiful backside.

This was my 5 week progress at the tail end of last year and I want to share how my free Look Like You Lift program can help you too.

Maybe you’ve got a stone to lose. Maybe two. Or maybe you think you’re too old and over the hill. That your best days are long gone.

These photos are 5 weeks apart. That’s it. I didn’t undergo some total transformation. I’m not shredded. I’m not walking around looking like Arnie in his prime.

But I added muscle definition, dropped noticeable body fat and lost the softness I’d been carrying around. More importantly, I started feeling different.

I started getting more energy, was less lethargic and I was mentally sharper.

The more success I had, the easier it became to keep going because I actually wanted to do it.

That’s what 5 weeks of building momentum does. It doesn’t finish the job, but it proves to you that you haven’t lost it. You just need to start.

My free 5-week Look Like You Lift program (a diet plan and choice of training plans)) is designed for blokes who think they can’t stick to something because it sounds daunting or overwhelming.

It’s really not. It’s a basic spreadsheet that calculates everything for you.

Workout plans for all levels, even if you’re starting from scratch.

And it’s free, so there’s nothing stopping you except you.

You don’t need to wait for the perfect time. You don’t need a complicated plan. You just need to take the first step and prove to yourself you can do this.

You’ve been lifting for years but nobody would know it.

You train five times a week and eat big to get stronger.

You’re putting in the work but your lifts aren’t progressing.

You’re gaining weight, but it’s all going to your gut, not your arms.

When you look in the mirror, you don’t see someone who lifts. You see the same soft, undefined body you’ve had for years, and you can’t work out what the f**k you’re doing wrong.

So you eat even more, thinking that’s the answer. More food equals more strength, right?

Except it doesn’t.

The weight keeps creeping up, your jeans getting tighter, and your lifts stay exactly where they’ve been for months.

You start wondering if you’re just one of those blokes who isn’t built for this. Maybe some people can look good and get strong, but you’re not one of them.

My client Luke knows this frustration all too well.

When he started working with me, he was 86kg with a 91cm waist. He’d been lifting five times a week for years but had nothing to show for it.

No progression in his training and no structure in his nutrition. Just lifting weights, eating whatever and hoping progress would show up one day.

It never did.

So we changed everything.

We gave his training structure and progression. We built a nutrition plan so he could accurately track what mattered.

Twelve months later, Luke’s sitting at 66kg with a 73cm waist. That’s 20kg gone and nearly 20cm off his waist.

But he’s now eating almost DOUBLE the calories he was during his diet, his lifts are flying up every single week, and he’s staying lean while building muscle.

He’s so chuffed with his results that he’s referred three new clients to me (thanks, dude).

Luke didn’t need to train more. He needed someone to show him how to progress his lifts week on week, and how to fuel his body properly instead of just eating more and hoping for the best.

This is one year of coaching versus years of winging it.

If you’re tired of showing up without anything to show for it, let’s talk about Project X coaching.
