My online client Oisín is 9kg down since May!

78kg → 69kg.

But the biggest change isn’t really the number on the scales.

After spending around 3 years spinning his wheels, Oisín didn’t have much evidence that he could set a goal for himself and actually achieve it.

Four months later, that’s completely different.

He’s stronger. He’s leaner. He’s built muscle. But more importantly, he’s more confident in himself.

He recently travelled around Europe feeling comfortable in the clothes he was wearing, wearing more T-shirts instead of feeling like he needed to hide underneath baggy clothes, and simply enjoying himself with more confidence.

That’s what getting in shape should give you outside of the gym.

Feeling good in your clothes.
Enjoying holidays and nights out.
Backing yourself when you set a goal.
Knowing you’re capable of doing difficult things.

With the right structure, accountability and a clear vision of where we’re going, Oisín has turned 3 years of spinning his wheels into 4 months of pure progress.

And we’re nowhere near finished.

We’ve cleaned the canvas. Now we’re moving into a build phase… adding more muscle, getting seriously strong, continuing to build his vision and, ultimately, building even more confidence in the person he’s becoming.

If you’ve been spinning your wheels for years and haven’t given yourself much evidence that you can actually achieve the body you want…

DM me “COACHING” and let’s change that. 🎯

This may trigger some people, but everything in this post comes from my own experience, 4 and a half years of working with clients, and having mentors and coaches say these exact same things to me.

And it’s genuinely helped me.

If something in this post hit a nerve, maybe ask yourself why.

I’ve lacked structure. I’ve wasted time. I’ve made s**t choices. I’ve spent too much time on my phone and cared too much about what other people were doing.

But at some point, you have to take responsibility for yourself.

Plan your week, earn to cook, look after your body, get off your phone and think for yourself.

Growing up isn’t just paying bills and going to work. It’s taking responsibility for yourself and the life you’re building.

You owe it to yourself to build a body, mindset and life you’re proud of.

I don’t try to fight how my brain works. I build systems that help me work with it 🧠

I also work with clients who have ADHD, so I understand that sometimes it’s not about needing more motivation… it’s about finding the right structure and strategies that actually work for you.

Work with your brain, not against it!

From hiding my body to building one I’m proud of.

A lot can change when you stop waiting and start fighting for yourself.

Get a coach. Get structure. Get a proven plan. Have someone keep you accountable, help you navigate the hard weeks, adjust the plan when needed, and believe in what you’re capable of even when you don’t.

Come 1st October, there are exactly 12 weeks until Christmas. Let’s make them count!

DM me “FINISH STRONG” if you’re ready to finish the year strong.

Lisburn Road on the go food cheat sheet!

Part 2 after the Belfast City Centre one went down a treat 😂

Eating well doesn’t mean carrying Tupperware around with you everywhere you go.

Sometimes you’re busy, you’ve forgotten lunch or you simply CBA cooking.

Having a few decent options around you makes staying consistent so much easier.

Save this for the next time you’re stuck for food on the Lisburn Road 🤝

I know exactly what it feels like to be the skinny guy who wants to build muscle.

Because that was me for years!!

I wanted to fill out my T-shirts, look like I actually trained and feel more confident in my own body.

But for a long time I made building muscle far more difficult than it needed to be.

I trained without enough structure, second guessed what I was doing, changed things too often and didn’t fully understand how important nutrition, recovery and actually progressing my training were.

That’s one of the reasons I’ve loved coaching Ben through this.

Over the last 10 months he’s gone from 53.9kg → 67kg, built a completely different level of strength and muscle, and most importantly, his confidence has fu***ng soared.

He’s filling out his clothes. He’s more confident socially. He’s enjoying holidays, nights out and events without being as stuck in his own head about how he looks.

And now we’re entering a completely different phase.

We’ve spent the last 10 months building the body.

The next 2 months are about leaning him down, maintaining as much of that muscle as possible and getting him ready for his photoshoot 📸

I cannot wait to see the end result.

If you’re currently where Ben and I both started… skinny, lacking confidence and unsure how to actually build your body…

DM me “MUSCLE” and I’ll show you how I’d approach it 💪
