Bigger, stronger and without blowing up body fat📈
When Lloyd came to me at the beginning of June, the goal was clear:
Add 3-4kg of quality mass, keeping body fat relatively stable, and get seriously strong in the process to achieve…
Bench 1x bodyweight
Squat 1.5x bodyweight
Deadlift 2x bodyweight
The thing is… Lloyd wasn’t starting from zero.
He was already training 3x per week.
He was tracking his nutrition.
And he was doing all of that while balancing being a Dad, husband-to-be and a demanding job.
He didn’t need to do more…
He needed to get more out of what he was already doing💡
So that’s exactly what we focused on.
Over the next 14 weeks, we built a clear progressive training structure biased towards hypertrophy, while bringing up the weaknesses that would carry over into his big three lifts.
Nutrition progressed alongside it🔑
Lloyd came to me eating around 2,100 calories.
We gradually built that up to nearly 4,000 calories and instead of suddenly getting “fat”, his performance, recovery and ability to actually build tissue took off🚀
But none of that matters if the plan doesn’t fit your life.
So everything was built around one thing.. consistent ex*****on.
14 weeks later…
→ Almost 3.5kg gained
→ Relative waist measurements maintained
→ Torso, legs and arms all increased
→ Performance and recovery improved
→ Bench and squat targets exceeded by 20kg
This is what a proper build phase should look like.
Not force-feeding yourself.
Not adding endless training sessions.
Not chasing scale weight at any cost.
✅The right training. The right amount of food. Progressively adjusted around your life.
And we’re only at the end of the first build phase.
If you’ve been training consistently but your physique and strength still aren’t moving the way they should, doing more probably isn’t the answer.
You need a better plan.
