Your Lifestyle Coach

Finally updating my meta page as i'm going to be using this account more often going into to 2025!

Head coach: Ron
Junior coach: Olive dog*

*only in specific circumstances

Big beast and little beast!


Their training is very different but they put in absolutely everything they got and it's a pleasure to coach them both.

Ticked off many goals between them and hungry for many more.

If I add cumulative years of training them both I'm fortunate to say it's a little shy of a DECADE - approx 8 years.

Great work team!

What's the difference between the two?

I took my socks, shoes and pants off. I then posed with the right angle to highlight my physique.

Real life is not instagram. I'll post generally best foot forwards on instagram because engagement.

I don't carry that s**t into my real life anymore. Ofcourse I want to look jacked and would be displeased if I didn't look somewhat muscular but I ACCEPT how I look more now.

I try not to pick apart the things I don't like and be at peace with what I do look like. If that guy is bigger or jacked than me, that doesn't take away from my physical accomplishments.

I think it's a healthy way to approach gym and probably life.

Appreciate what you have worked for and don't let others accomplishments diminish or damage your own view of yourself.

Appreciate putting your best foot forwards at times but also allow yourself to be human and not striving to always be on a pedestal.

Balance.

Ron's checklist to nailing your exercise
If you can answer these questions about the exercise you're about to perform, you're going to crush it.

If you don't know the answers to each movement in your program, find that out. You need to know in order to execute your exercise effectively.

1) What muscle/s is the exercise meant to be training?

2) What is meant to be stable during the movement?

3)What are the parameters of movement pattern - start/end range

You're going to be doing the same movements and variations of the same movement for LITERALLY years.

If you can't answer those questions after years of training you 👏🏼need👏🏼to👏🏼do👏🏼better👏🏼

Take control of your training, team! It doesn't happen by accident!

Last shoot of mine was 3 years ago! I need to book one because now i'm full googy 🥚 it doesn't resemble me too closely. 🤣

Has anyone else been calling of steel? 🫢🫢🫢

New in club promotion I'm running for the next few weeks that I'll extend out into the broader web

FREE BODY COMPOSITIONAL TESTING + 45 min session

I'll assess your physique and give you a run down of the best way to approach smashing your goals.

♦️Fat loss: Best method of losing body fat and keeping it off

♦️Hypertrophy: Balancing out your physique and how to build an awesome frame.

I can do much more but these are the two main focuses for this promotion.

Slide in the DM's and let's book a time.

GTL, baby, GTL.

They'd let you into the Goodlife Aesthetic Squad but you just aren't jacked or tanned enough.

Developing a decent slab of a chest is not easy. Not only do you have to train pretty damn hard but the exercises you choose matter and HOW you perform those exercises 100% matters as well.

1) Forget about retracting and depressing your scapula during chest pressing. To effectively build your chest, don't think about your shoulder blades doing anything in particular. Allowing the scapula to move freely allows the pecs to lengthen and shorten naturally under load - exactly what you want for that muscle to grow. Retracting + depressing scaps is a form choice focused on maximal strength. Not wrong, just inefficient for a hypertrophy focus.

2)There are different divisions of your pecs and changing the angle of your pressing targets different parts of your chest.

Clavicular/upper = Incline bench at approx 30-40 degrees.

Sternal/mid = Flat bench

Costal/lower = Decline bench

Protip: Make sure you train the clavicular head. It's the male form of cleavage.

3) Don't go wide in your benching hand position. Wider grip only serves to decrease ROM for powerlifting. For hypertrophy arms stay at 45 degrees from the body. This recruits the most chest muscle fibre.
