Don’t believe everything you see on the internet.

I could pretend these photos are weeks apart and tell you I use some miracle product.

That’s what every instagram ‘influencer’ does.

They’ve mastered the art of angles and lighting and false promises to sell you push crappy products and programs you don’t need.

They know your insecurities and what buttons to press to get your cash.

These photos are 3 hours apart. The first when I rolled out of bed, the other after a workout.

Don’t be fooled. Changing your body takes MONTHS not hours.

Yes you can make drastic changes in just a few weeks but to build an entirely different body takes effort, patience and consistency.

All my clients start with me on a 12 week basis but the smart ones are in this for the long term because they know they’ll be making continued progress.

Stop chasing supplements or workout plans that promise the earth.

Settle in and get ready to transform forever.

If you’re ready, DM me and let’s start you off with 12 weeks of kicking butt and see what happens from there 👊🏻

A year’s worth of graft and I’ve looked shredded, stringy, fluffy, and everything in between.

These photos are exactly a year apart and I’m at that awkward stage where I’m no longer shredded nor stacked with muscle.

Building a body you’re proud of isn’t about looking great every day of every week.

It’s about pushing through with the plan when you don’t.

You can’t freak out when you look skinny during a diet or soft during a gain. It’s part of the game.

Everyone’s hunting for hacks, but the only thing that’s worked for me is ridiculous consistency with training, and food that’s on point MOST of the time.

It’s not been perfect but I’ve still had my fun along the way.

But I’ve also known when to tighten things up and stay disciplined.

The other thing that’s made a huge difference is having a coach.

Someone to stop me bullsh*tting myself, keep my training and nutrition sharp, and help me navigate nights out and holidays without losing my head.

Could I do it alone? In theory, yeah.

In reality it would never be as effective.

None of us are great at judging our own progress, least of all me.

I’m brilliant at helping other people (aka you 😉) but coaching yourself is a brutal business.

Add in the fact we’re all emotional, frustrated, apathetic, confused messes half the time and having a voice of reason is priceless.

I’m already working on my next target.... Summer 2026.

Yup, it starts now.

If I don’t bulk properly now, I won’t have time to strip back and show the size I’m chasing.

These photos don’t show the full picture because I’m not dick skin lean, but that’s the trade-off.

Fluff creeps in, strength goes up, and muscle gets built.

I’m ok with that, because it’s all part of the bigger plan.

The work has to start now because when you’re a busy bloke with a family, job, and life stress, and you’re not smashing steroids, you need the head start.

Next summer I want to look leaner AND bigger. and less like a dad who’s already rinsed the all-inclusive buffet before it’s even opened.

Follow along as I graft for Summer 2026.

If you’d rather not wait a year to ditch the dad-bod and look great, drop me a sneaky little DM.

Where the hell are my muscles?! 😳

I got these amazing looking pro photos through at the weekend from a recent gig.

How ruddy cool are they?! 😎

But of course I immediately noticed how weedy my arms look. Being ‘skinny’ has always been a hang up of mine.

We all have parts of our bodies we think look proper sh*te or are embarrassed about.

I’ve been working so hard on my body in recent years but that’s not a bullet proof solution. Of course it definitely helps but the battle is never won.

However, I refuse to sit back and not do everything I can to look and feel my best.

When we hit that stage I BRING IT harder than most because I feel so fit and energetic. Not bad for a dude approaching 44 😳

Ageing is inevitable. Getting old is a choice. F*ck that.

I’ve got a lot more muscle to build yet. I’m gonna be so buff by the time I hit 50 💪🏻

Don’t get old. Get Old Skool 👊🏻

Im absolutely bloody knackered but what a great weekend.

McFly were surprisingly excellent despite not being my kinda thing.

Really cool to see my great friend there.

Epic meal before hand at in Margate with some friends.

Climbing with the girls (although I wasn’t allowed to climb due to the 1:1 adult to child requirement)

And the kitchen was delivered. Now it’s time to get back to work while the kitchen fitters cause an earthquake downstairs.

Missing my girls and already. Is it the weekend yet?!

A lot has changed in 15 years and I wouldn’t change any of it.

We’re older, possibly wiser but definitely happier.

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary.

We started the bay by ripping out the rest of the kitchen and ended it with a family meal.

Harvester isn’t our usual choice of romantic wedding anniversary meal but family time is precious.

Here’s to another 15 years of bliss and memories with and a shiny new kitchen!

What a life affirming night that was…

A lot has been said about this reunion tour and it’s felt at times like it’s been over hyped but it’s quite the opposite.

This is my 4th time seeing Oasis over the last 28 years (gulp) and it was INCREDIBLE. Liams voice was on point from start to finish and Noel’s leads are always so tasteful.

There’s nothing quite like a stadium gig to pull you in to the power of experience.

Live music and good music is dying with no bands of this scale coming through which is heart breaking but it makes the nostalgia even more potent.

Last night I realised that 40, 50 etc is just a number but that you can keep yourself young by being healthy and having fun in the real world by immersing yourself in experiences.

I feel the healthiest, fittest and most confident I’ve ever felt.

If you feel old, tired or jaded get out and seize back control. Pull yourself together and make it happen before it’s too late.

Life is for living and experiencing not just surviving miserably until the end.

Don’t get old. Get Old Skool.

I’m useless at a lot of things. But taking photos of what I’m up to is quite near the top of that list.

This weekend I started demolishing our kitchen ready for the new one to go in.

I also played a super mega awesome gig on Saturday and spent a lovely BBQ time with my nearest and dearest friends on Sunday (at which I took no photos…..again)

Instead you can have a random assortment of photos which may or may not make any sense.

You’re welcome!

Who the f*ck in their right mind pays £4 for a loaf of bread just because it says “HIGH PROTEIN” on the packet?

Same goes for protein crisps, cereal and biscuits. They all promise to turn you into a Greek god with an measly extra two grams of protein per serving.

Meanwhile you’re still knackered, hungry, and fed up of looking like a darts player with weedy little arms.

I’m not me saying protein is bad. In fact , it’s bloody amazing.
I use shakes and bars myself when it’s convenient.

But building your entire diet around overpriced, protein-ified junk is not the shortcut you think it is.

The ‘shortcut’ is eating actual food. Eggs, steak, chicken etc. And not eating like a t**t for long enough to see your body change.

Do that and you won’t need a magic cookie with “PROTEIN” slapped on the front.
You’ll actually look like you lift.

And no, I’m not putting a “HIGH PROTEIN” label on Look Like You Lift. But maybe I should. It might make you finally download it....

This is it. The acceptance of the inevitable.

I only need them for reading and screen work but I’m not sure if I like them yet.

I like the way they look on me but not convinced about the way things look through them. It’s all a bit disorienting and overly magnified.

I resisted glasses for ages as I didn’t want to get old but I also accept I need to see.

At least I can push back against ageing by eating well and building the fittest, strongest body I’ve ever had.

Have a great weekend 🤓

You weren’t exhausted back then. Just hungover, h***y, and unstoppable.

Your youthful days are full or magical memories etched into your soul.

Like the first pint that tasted like p**s but made you feel like a man.
Your first fumble under the covers that lasted all of 37 seconds.
Or strutting round like Liam Gallagher, convinced you were invincible despite rocking the world’s worst haircut and spotty face.

You didn’t need healthy eating or a gym membership back then.

You ran on attitude, bad decisions, and the occasional Pot Noodle.

These days you’re knackered before you’ve even made it through Monday.
Your back clicks louder than a metronome every time you stand up.
And you catch yourself scrolling gym posts thinking, “I wish I looked like that but I’m not giving up beers or family meals, so what’s the point?”

You didn’t let yourself go on purpose.
Life just… happened.
Work. Kids. Bills. Responsibility.
All good things. All draining the energy that used to make you feel unstoppable.

But the longer you leave it, the harder it is to feel like you again.

Not 16-year-old you. Nobody wants to go back there.

I’m talking about the version of you who

✔ Feels proud with his shirt off
✔ Can lift the kids without grunting like he’s shifting furniture
✔ Actually wants to s**g with the lights on

I’m not here to help you relive your youth.
I’m here to help you feel fu***ng fantastic. Even at your age.

My running career didn’t pan out the way I’d hoped.

There were some incredible highs but also some bitter lows.

The medals, the PB’s and the pride were so addictive but ultimately unsustainable.

The main thing it taught me was how to dig deep day after day and keep chilling away at a much bigger target.

The small actions when you just want to sloth about on the sofa are the things that make the biggest difference.

No one can convince you to look after yourself or to get off your ass and take control of your health.

But when it gets taken away from you, you’ll regret it forever. Trust me.

Over to you……

Would your Mrs be climbing on top of you more often if you didn’t look like you’ve just finished a 3-year tour of duty in Greggs?

Or are you still blaming her “headaches” for the lack of action?

If you looked more like a bloke who lifts, there’d be fewer complaints about it being “too hot” or “too cold” for all that.

But that kind of physique doesn’t come from a few limp salads and three half-arsed gym sessions every leap year.

It takes proper graft, longer than you might think and the patience to keep going when life throws dodgy knees, work stress, and boozy weekends your way.

I told myself I’d finish my mini cut in 5 weeks. It took 8.
Simon’s took 16.
Luke’s was 20.

Because real life doesn’t give a toss about your “shredded by summer” fantasy.

Most blokes massively underestimate how much fat they’ve got to lose and how much effort it’s going to take.

That’s why I built Look Like You Lift.

To help you stop p**sing about, finally stick to the basics, and build the kind of body that makes you look and feel like a bloke who actually lifts.

Comment LLYL below and I’ll send you the exact 5-week plan that kicked off Simon and Luke’s transformations.
