Will it really work out??

-

The easier it is to achieve your goals, the easier it will be to achieve your goals

Don’t make access an issue

Hate it? Avoidance? Excuses? Barriers?

Excuses are FAKE barrier to success.
Walls you put up yourself to hide behind.

Barriers & OBSTACLES are real things though.

Just don’t confuse them.

Can you ACTUALLY “not do it”?

Or do you need to just start small & build up?

Probably you need to start slower & smaller than you’d like to, or than you’d care to admit.

But not-starting gets you nothing.

And starting gets you everything.

“Working-out” holds so many people back…

It’s great if you are just starting-out with exercise. Work-out to your hearts content.
But if you’ve been exercising a little while, or want the best results.
We can’t just keep doing random things and expecting specific results.

Follow a proper periodised, smart structured program, to get the BIGGEST result, for the smallest amount of time, effort & work.

You are too busy to be hitting the gym and not getting the results you want.

So don’t.

Get support with a proper plan, to access proper results 💪🏼🔥

Fat Camp & Fad Diet Failure -

These methods have VERY low success rate because they are too far away from normal life.

If you could just decide to eat EVERYTHING DIFFERENT, then why hasn’t that worked for you or happened already?

Every fad diet does this: “Oh THAT’S what you eat right now?! Ok lol. Forget that. Now you are going to… (insert random food patterns nothing like your life at all)”

And you just try and see if you can 180 🔄 your life and stick to it.

But for how long?

Forever?

Because if the answer is no, and you don’t keep it up, you have only two options:

1) [Go back to “normal”]
(which is what got you to where you didn’t want to be in the first place

or

2) [Choose a different fad diet]
Which ALSO will be random methodologies nothing like your life and won’t work

People then spend their lives flip-flopping between the two and thinking that there’s something wrong with them.

There’s nothing wrong with YOU. It’s the methods you are using are STATISTICALLY low-success.

Smarter Plans = Smoother Progress

Start making small manageable adjustments to your NORMAL life-habits instead.
Choosing easy changes that feel good and work.
Small changes doesn’t mean small results either…
It means more success.

Lasting changes = Lasting results

Struggling on Pull Ups or Press Ups? Sometimes I recommend: “Total Set Overload” training.

Which… is a name I have invented 😆

It works like this:

Say you do:

6,5,4

Reps across 3 sets

That’s 15 reps total

Next time try and do 16. (6,5,5)
That’s progressive overload & progress

Say you try, but you STILL only manage 6,5,4
(No progress)

Add another set and just literally do 1 rep.

6,5,4,1

That legit works for overload & progress.
It’s still 1 more than last time.

NEXT time try

6,5,4,2

Progress again

But you might also do:

4,4,4,4

If you fancied it
That also = 16

Which is 1 more than last time the same

As long as you keep overloading the muscle; you don’t have to do 3 sets and struggle

Even 8 sets of 2 😆
Would still be increased workload and progress

Eventually the set number would get stupid though
Like personally I would go past 5

Eventually combine the sets back down to 3 and take a new baseline from there and repeat

Works well when working with lower reps as each rep is a big % strength increase needed

Like to go from 5-6 reps is a +20% increase
So it’s A LOT
So spreading it out across more sets can work.

-

This is my Total Set Overload method lol

I have used this with MANNNYYY clients to keep them progressing across Press Ups & Pull Ups when struggling on low reps

Theoretically works with any exercise. But I only use it on these as it’s safe to push them to failure.

No point to this post other than sharing

Thank you!

Legitimate criticism

What about context though?

What do you think about food-diaries & calorie-control?

Why is dieting so difficult? Why do so many people fail?
BURN-OUT is a TOP cause for regression, loss of focus & failure.

The game is longer than it is harder.

Don’t build yourself up, preparing to sprint.

Start slowing stepping forward instead.

Health isn’t a 100m race. It’s a pilgrimage to a healthier happier place.

Going a little slower, to get a little further.

Fast is Fun. Slow is Sustainable.
Balance is Best.

We need BOTH progress AND pacing to succeed long term ❤️

Don’t sprint with desperation, hike with determination 🥾

SW, WW, HL & more: what do they alllllll have in common…

-

This kind of perspective ruins people’s dietary-self-esteem. Then I spend my whole career rebuilding it.

Luckily I love it. Helping peoples mindsets gives me purpose & fulfilment

Making positive changes isn’t supposed to be scary. It’s supposed to be about health & happiness.
