WTF is going on with the prices of clothing that’s supposed to be all about the promotion of mental health?

Some of the prices I’ve seen this week have been utterly disgusting.

I go balls deep every morning by having the greatest breakfast in the history of breakfast (well, SECOND best, actually).

I COULD have a fancy coffee and a muffin instead.

But I’d rather eat something that actually tastes incredible, fills me up and means my brain doesn’t have to make a single decision before 8am.

People think having the same thing every day sounds unbearable. I think a calorific coffee and a pastry that leaves you raiding the vending machine by 10:30 sounds way bloody worse.

Your trouser waistband probably agrees with me 😉

Horses for courses I suppose.

I still remember 5am being my bedtime after a long and memorable night out.

These days I’m up and out the door to get to the gym at 5am.

Life is ram packed full of responsibilities now and this is the only way to ensure I get my training done without life kicking my plans in the ball sack.

Maybe that sounds crazy, but the TV is off by 9pm and I’m in bed and asleep by 10pm most nights.

I could make all kinds of excuses about being tired, not being a morning person or not being able to get to bed early. But they would all be excuses.

I’m not getting any younger so it’s now or never for getting fit and healthy.

I can watch TV any old time.

Let’s gooooo!

Gaining weight purposefully to build muscle requires a whole new level of patience.

Muscle gain is roughly 4x slower than fat loss which makes it mentally demanding.

It’s not just a case of eating whatever you want when you want either. You still have to be controlled and disciplined. You still need to get your steps in and bust your balls in the gym.

These photos show the difference between January-May. In terms of scale weight that’s 4kg.

Progress becomes hard to see in a gaining phase as although your muscles grow a bit, you inevitably gain body fat which makes progress a bit of a game of spot the difference.

That’s why tracking gym performance is such an important part of a properly executed gaining phase.

This is definitely my best gaining phase to date. The more times I do it, the more I learn and the more I improve how I do it.

Only a few more weeks of gaining and then it’s time to diet down for the summer holiday

What parts of my dieting process would you want to see me document on here?

If like me you harbour ambitions of looking like a dude who lifts weights, comment LIFT below and I’ll send you through a free diet and training system to get you started.

Name me a better combo than Monster, Metallica and lifting weights.

I don’t think you’ll find one.

Busting your balls in the gym and never seeing any progress is absolutely soul-destroying.

You’re training multiple times a week, throwing everything you’ve got at your workouts but nothing’s happening.

Your body still looks EXACTLY the same.

Months of effort and frustration leave you wondering what the hell you’re doing wrong.

So you bump up your calories. Eat big to get big, right? But you only seem to be getting fatter rather than stronger. FFS!

You’re working hard enough but you have no idea what you’re doing.

Could you tell me how many calories you’re eating? Or whether your reps, sets, or weight are going up week to week?

My client Luke was doing exactly this for months. Getting absolutely nowhere, getting fatter and becoming increasingly more pi**ed off.

We started tracking his food and his workouts to give us the information we needed to finally start making progress.

Within days it became obvious which things were working and which were working against him.

The transformation he achieved was jaw dropping.

If you’re training hard and your body’s not changing the way you want it to, you don’t need to work harder. You need direction.

Comment LIFT below and I’ll send you my Look Like You Lift system. It’ll make sure your nutrition and training are on point so you can finally start seeing the results your effort deserves.

The “you’re so lucky” comment always makes me laugh because the person saying it has usually just watched me turn down chips, skip dessert, or order the boring option at a restaurant.

They’re calling it luck while literally watching me make choices they’re not willing to make.

I’m not special.

My appetite is absolutely mental and I’d happily smash through double what I eat most days if I let myself.

I track my food, I stick to targets, and I accept that staying lean means saying no to things.

People just assume it happens by accident.

Staying in shape isn’t luck. It’s just consistent choices that add up over time.

Most people would rather believe it’s genetics or good fortune than accept that it’s available to them if they’re willing to put the effort in.

Every. Fu***ng. Monday. It’s always the bloody same.

The weekend went to s**t because you smashed the “f**k it” button after one bad choice.

Now you’re deciding whether to go again in the hope you can ‘undo the damage’ or f**k it off as you can’t seem to stick to it anyway.

If you quit, you stay exactly where you are. Actually, things will probably get worse. Eventually you’ll be back at the very beginning trying the same thing.

If you restart, next weekend will derail you the exact same way because you never learned what went wrong. You just hit reset and hoped it would be different this time.

That’s the loop that keeps absolute legends like you stuck for so many years.

You’re treating every f**k-up like it’s game over. One bad choice and you torch the whole thing.

One bad choice on Saturday doesn’t mean Sunday has to follow the same pattern

A messy weekend doesn’t mean you need to give up altogether.

The blokes who actually get lean and in great shape aren’t the boring f**kers with no lives and perfect fitness influencer weekends. They’re the ones who f**k up because they’re human beings but wake up Monday, and just go again with a smarter plan and a determined attitude to do better.

Next weekend when things start going sideways, there’s a different way to handle it. But you’ll only figure out what that is if you stop quitting or restarting every time it gets messy.

Don’t get old. Get Old Skool.
