What do you think when you see whey protein?
-
I’ve heard people say I don’t wanna get bulky or some other say I don’t wanna get fat but!
-
Protein doesn’t make you fat... eating over you’re daily calories level for you to stay the same weight does.
-
We have all heard of calorie deficit or others know as “Cut” and a calorie surplus “bulk” well we have a calorie maintenance level that’s basically us eating the right amount of calories a day to stay the same weight we are already.
-
So having a high protein diet is good for Two reasons..
-
1. Like most people we want to lose that body fat yes? Well having a high protein diet can help maintain the lean muscle you already have will on a deficit “cut”, it can also help burning fat.
-
But why do you need whey protein?

Because for me I’m on around 185-200g of protein a day and trying to get all my proteins in from all FOODS it’s hard and you’ll need to eat a s**t load of chicken or whatever so for me having a scoop or two of whey protein helps me hit them numbers.
-
2. For Muscle gain... well you will need to eat in a surplus “bulk” and lift heavy ass weights (that s**t int easy) because as you lift weights you are ripping you’re muscles and having protein in you’re diet will help you repair muscle tissue and this helps growth and strength and again trying to get enough protein in for this to help maybe you’ll need a scoop or two.
-
All that being said... don’t be that person that just lives on protein shakes and cuts out food 🤷🏻‍♂️💪🏼

How much effort are you putting into your fitness goals??
-
Do you give more value to the weekend and getting smashed more than working on your health and getting into shape?!
-
Do you bulls**t yourself by saying “yeah the people that’s in good shape live in the gym and never go out”?
-
Well the matter is...
-
1. you’re most likely not putting in that much effort.
-
2. You’ll most likely will choose getting drunk over getting fitness/healthier.
-
3. You most likely do say “yeah fitness people or in good shape have no live and live in the gym..... but matter of fact is we don’t...
For me a lot of people say you need to go out more and enjoy live, I do. I go out with mates have a few drinks (I’m sure you can see this 7 posts again), I go out to clubs and don’t come back till 4-5am, I eat pizzas and burgers cos they are awesome and tease great!
But I make sure my training and health is number 1 than all I’ve wrote above.

-
So put more effort into it if you want that body and what ever you’re goal is, you can still do all the things above but don’t make it number 1 before you’re fitness and health!

**** Transformation ****
—
Amazing transformation from one of clients. They have been working together for a few months now. He started at 93kg and wanted to lose 10kg and now that he has achieved that, he has set a new goal to continue to lose body fat and get down to 78kg.
—
• He has a 9-5 job
•Only trained 3 times a week
•Still living a sociable lifestyle going out with friends and drinking (More than his coach wanted) ——

•Doing it right...
When it comes to training, for me I say to clients “I don’t what the weight is, I just want good proper form while doing the exercise”.
So for talking sacks, BACK, relax the shoulder, keep them down and retract.
——
By retracting the muscle into a good position like “Chris” is doing here he’s already activating the muscle so they are already workout to hold that nice good posture.
——
Now because it’s lighter weights he’s using, I tell him to not go fast doing the exercises but a little slower going up and 4 seconds going down.
——
Doing the reps this way slow and controlled with good position with the back and shoulders 1. Saves the back from injuries and 2. Doing this slowly and controlled with a 4 second Release with that lovely nice back position, I can assure you you will feel it the next few days after.
