S**t workout?

Don't let it comprise everything else.

Thursday training advice.

How i like to coach the #1 leg exercise in my opinion

One of my favourite, if not favourite push exercises.

A few little tips on how I like to coach it.

Running a little promotion until the 21st of November!

As it gets closer to the Christmas break, we tend to slack off a little bit, whether it's due to motivation or we put the gym off due to having to spend money on other things.

My goal has always been wanting to help as many people as possible through their fitness journeys.
So if you've ever considered personal training for any reason, whether it's to learn a new lift, improve overall technique, or just as simple as accountability, then this is the perfect opportunity!

If you're after slightly shorter sessions (30 minutes) or slightly longer (60 minutes), then im happy to accommodate.

Send me a DM or pop me an email at [email protected] if youre interested 🏋‍♀️🏋‍♂️.

Happy training

When planning your workout, exercise order matters more than you might think!

1️⃣

Start with complex, compound movements:
These are exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench pressing.They use multiple muscle groups and joints at once, require the most energy, and demand proper technique. Doing these first—when you’re fresh—helps you lift heavier, maintain good form, and reduce your risk of injury.

Why?

Compound movements are the foundation of strength and muscle-building. They challenge your coordination, stability, and overall strength. If you leave them until later, fatigue can set in, making it harder to perform them safely and effectively.

2️⃣

Move on to isolation exercises:
After your big lifts, shift to exercises that target a single muscle group, like bicep curls, tricep extensions, or leg curls. These moves are less demanding on your nervous system and can be performed safely even when you’re a bit tired.

Why?

Isolation exercises are great for focusing on specific muscles and adding extra volume to your workout. Since they’re less complex, there’s a lower risk of injury if your form slips a little due to fatigue.

In summary:

1. Start with compound lifts for strength, power, and technique.
2. Finish with isolation exercises to target specific muscles and extra burn.

This structure helps you get the most out of your training, stay safe, and see better results over time!

In my opinion, not every goal has to have an end date or be trackable.
Sometimes, it's as simple as being present and just being in the moment.

Never compare your goals or your situation to anyone else around you.

We need to normalise not over complicating things.

A bit about why I haven't been active, what I've been doing, and my plan heading forward with social media.

It's not about how frequently I post, or to hit a certain criteria, or trying to figure out these algorithms.

I want to give the best content possible from my point of view for my clients, future clients, and just anyone who needs help when it comes to their fitness and lifestyle

I'm still coaching, but I haven't been active on social media.

I am still training and coaching all my clients.
I am still taking on new clients also.

Nothing has changed, I just haven't been visualising it for social media.

There's a follow-up post to come and my plan for my social and the direction I'm taking it in.

Today is a sad day for the fitness industry.

One of the friendliest and most knowledgeable guys in the industry has passed away too young.

A lot of how I train my clients and myself stems from a lot of knowledge that I've gained thanks to Andrew Lock!

Always had time for everyone and anyone, full of knowledge and passion, most of all, he cared about people and the industry.

RIP 🔒

You don't need to be half dead or about to pass out every session!

Go in with a plan, whether it's a program from your coach or your own training plan, and stick to it.

Make every rep and set count.
Make every rep your best rep.

Don't feel like your heart rate needs to be near maximum if you're making every rep count, unless, of course, that's the goal for the session.

Train hard, train smart.
