Bevan Strength Coach

As this account continues to grow

I wanted to 'lay out' the principles and philosophy

Of strength for life

And highlight who I am

My methods

My beliefs

And

Ultimately, how I can help you take your physical capabilities to that next level

No matter what stage in your current fitness journey, you may be in

All are welcome 🙌

If you want to get hella strong

Build muscle

Improve performance

Shift your training mentality to feel empowered

And think we could be a good fit

Then, either click on the link in my bio and fill out my 60-second pre application form

OR

Dm me referring to this post

I will be in touch ASAP with how I can help 🙌

Relative strength standards for bench press

Men and women's bodyweight ratio

For example:

If you are a 90kg male

A beginners bench press would be 0.5x90

Equalling a 45kg press

Intermediate would be 1.25x90

Equalling 112.5kg

And advanced would 2x90

Equalling 180kg

These are relative strength standards for the general population

They do not include the ratios or standards for powerlifting

But these standards can be used as a great metric to help develop goals relating to feats of strength

If you're not interested in powerlifting or competing but want to get hella strong

Then, these standards are a good place to start 🙌👊

Meal prepping Sundays 🥔🥩👌

.don progress update!

Not too bad, aye?

Absolutely phenomenonal transformation here, and we are still only halfway to his target.

Hywels primary goal is to reach a certain bodyweight AND to feel comfortable in his own skin

All while simultaneously building up strength

To help manage aches and pains he has had in his shoulders / hips

3 months into my coaching

And we have more or less removed those aches and pains

Squatting and benching completely pain free

And as you can see from this INSANE pic

Fat loss is heading in the right direction

Now we continue to chip away

Until we get where he wants to be

Once that is complete

We then get hywel ready to hit the powerlifting platform in Autumn

Something he has ALWAYS wanted to do

What a year this could be and we are only just getting started

And what a start that is

Hat off to you, sir

If your like hywel

Want to feel more comfortable in your own skin

And to develop lifetime strength along the way

Then just DM the word 'RESULTS'

And we have a winner 🙌🙌

Congratulations to .don for smashing the S4L January recalibration challenge!

I know there are a few days remaining in Jan

But I decided to finish the challenge on Sunday as these lot have not only crushed it

But have other goals to now focus on, going into February.

It was a great effort by everyone and amazing to see how stuck in everyone got with it!

A very solid start to the new year 👊

But super well done to .don who absolutely crushed the steps and cold water therapy challenge in particular... animal 🙌

Now let's continue this mentality and crush February....lets go💪

How does Strength for life work?

1️⃣Daily check ins via DMs

Most coaching label themselves as available 24/7 but then proceed to contact their client once a week

Not me! You can go ahead and ask my S4L crew, we message daily, including weekends, to ensure everyone is on track.

2️⃣Functional Movement screen

As you have probably seen, I have had a few of my current S4L roster go through the functional movement screen after having months/years of pain and discomfort. Who then go on to absolutely crush lifetime PBs!

The movement screen is an essential part of my process, enabling me to highlight your strengths/weaknesses to build your initial programme.

3️⃣Tailored 6 weekly programming

My training blocks are 6 weeks. I make weekly adjustments if required or discussed during check-ins. It is always and always will be tailored to YOU and only YOU.

NO one shoe fits all approach here. All accessible via my training app.

4️⃣Weekly recorded lifting analysis

Once a week, my clients upload all of their lifting footage.

Then, like clockwork, every Sunday (because you guys want the feedback before the next week of training), I go through this check-in form and analyze their lifts.

I then send them recorded feedback to improve and drive performance.

5️⃣Weekly check-in and video call

A weekly face time call or phone call where we discuss your weekly challenges and achievements to create action plans to further results.

That, combined with my recorded video analysis, is the ultimate accountability.

6️⃣Nutrition and goal tracking

Through my app , set nutritional goals and habits to help you stay on track with your nutrition.

7️⃣Nutrition resiources.

I would NEVER write you a meal plan.

THEY NEVER WORK.

However, I do provide recipe books, guidance on how to plan your meals, and a nutrition guidebook that entails everything from fat loss to muscle gains and sports nutrition.

You are given all the resources you need to succeed!

If you're interested in finding out more about my coaching

I do have spaces available

Either drop me a dm referring to this post or fill in my 60-second pre application form on my bio

And il be in touch ASAP!

Bulk update 🙌

Left pic was about 3 weeks ago

Right pic was today post training

Yes, on the right pic, the ufit Lighting is doing me some very solid favours, and I had a post training pump

Although it was mostly legs today

But in the left pic I weighed in at 78kg

Today, I weighed in at 80.4kg

Of course, not all of that is going to be muscle

And these pics are gradually going to get more fluffy 🤣

But that's my goal until late April.

Get Harry fluffy strong and add some more size!

Just wanted to share with you the mostly unflattering

Reality of adding size

It's all about building that foundation for you to then carve through

I'm also looking to hit some PBs on squat, bench and deadlift and getting heavier will only help!

Although I will be leaning out late spring and into the summer

But 2kg up, not a bad start!

For reference, I'm 169.5cm (short 👑)

Goal is to definitely get within 87-90kg 🙌

Week 3 of the strength4life recalibration challenge 🙌

is now neck and neck with pack leader .don

Then is still chipping away at her daily habits and is within touching distance of the joint leaders.

Then has come into 3rd, going in for a late push with his daily habits!

I won't show you where I am compared to these lot 🤣

They are crushing it and it's amazing to see

That extra bit of accountability can go a LONG way

When it comes to doing the basic rights

Which can then have a tremendous impact on goals/ targets

And day to day well being 🙌

Here's a little reminder of the daily habits they need to hit in order to accumulate points 👇

1. 3.25 mile walk or equalivent 👣
2. No alcohol 🍷
3. Hydration target 💧
4. Sleep target 💤
5. Cold water therapy 🥶

Obviously this is a challenge. This isn't something I would expect them to hit every single day.

It's just a way to get them refocused for the year and to install some habits that will help them in the long run 👊
