Training shouldnāt ONLY change how your body looks.
It should also help it work better
Face pulls strengthen the rear delts, upper back and the muscles that help control your shoulder blades.
That makes them a good movement for building stronger, healthier shoulders, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting, driving or working at a desk and have developed s**te posture
They wonāt magically āfixā your posture on their own, but combined with proper strength training, they can help you move better, feel stronger and become more capable.
Thatās what weight training should be about, building a body that works as good as it looks
My 1-1 diary is currently fully booked, but I coach people through the same process online. DM ONLINE if you need help with getting started

8.3kg down. 4.2% body fat. Nine weeks (1 week more than the current 8 week programme š)
Now before you scroll off thinking āhere we go, another oneā, thatās not what Iām selling.
Because Iāve got someone else starting this program whose goal has nothing to do with weight. Hers is simply to walk into a gym and not feel like everyoneās watching, and overcome that gym fear.
And she knows that paying me and having me on her phone to contact me at any point and through the accountability is the thing thatāll actually get her through the door. Not another app. Not another plan saved in her notes or good old chat gpt.
Hereās what I reckon most people get wrong (correct me if Iām wrong)
Youāre not sat on the sofa at half eight thinking āI need to lose two stone.ā Youāre thinking something quieter than that. Something like, what if this is just who I am now. What if Iām the person who starts things and stops and keeps giving up? - Iām happy to be corrected š¤
Thatās not a weight problem. Thatās a confidence problem wearing a weight problemās coat.
Eight weeks wonāt fix your whole life. Iām not going to pretend it will, it might get you great results physically if that is your goal,
But eight weeks is enough to stop dreading the gym. Enough to know what youāre doing when you walk in. Enough to eat properly on a consistent basis and build better habits around it. Enough to go three weeks without giving up then restarting again Monday š
And when you finished the 8 week, youāll go with something you didnāt have before. Youāll actually know what youāre doing and be able to keep that up for life.
Thatās the point, not dependency on paying someone for the rest of your life⦠Confidence is what youāll get.
Ā£100 for eight weeks. Ā£1.80 a day. Less than that meal deal with that horrible sarnie covered in mayo youāre not really enjoyingā¦donāt pretend you are⦠theyāre minging š¤£
The 8Week Stronger Body Project starts 7th September. Someone dropped out last night so thereās one space left.
Ā£100 until the 31st. Ā£150 after, if itās even still open.

I was training in both photos.
The difference was In the first one I had no nutrition target, no physical goal and nothing to really hold myself accountable to.
I was basically just training hard and hoping Iād eventually look different⦠or wasnāt thinking at all clearly 𤣠I was too focused on growing my business and providing a better service for clients.
In June I gave myself a proper goal, set clear targets for my training, nutrition and steps and built it around running a business and having a family⦠not around living like an 18 year old with f**k all else to do.
8 (or 9? Ishš¤£) weeks later, Iād achieved the goal⦠a goal that I initially set myself out to hit by my birthday which was still 10 weeks away from this end result, goal achieved 10 weeks early.
Now, Iām a saddo who tracks everything to the gram, food, water, workouts etc and everyoneās life, starting point and capabilities are different, so Iām not promising everyone the exact same result. But what I will promise is that in 8 weeks you can build better habits, routines and have a structure you can pretty much stick to for ever if you put your mind to it.
But having a clear goal, a plan that fits your life and someone holding you accountable makes a massive difference.
Thatās exactly what weāll set up inside my 8-week programme.
Itās currently Ā£100 for the full eight weeks, which works out at less than Ā£1.80 per day⦠not even half the price of a coffee, which is a no brainerā¦? š¤·š½āāļø
Iāve still got a few spaces left. DM me FOUNDING and Iāll send you the info. 6/10 spots now taken š¤©šš½āāļø
Training shouldnāt just make you tired and wiped out after each session and over the weeks. It should make you more capable and boost your energy.
Here weāre using a half kneeling landmine press to build upper body strength while also challenging shoulder mobility, core control and stability.
Thatās how I coach, choosing exercises that suit the person in front of me and helping them progress with proper guidance andd not throwing everyone into the same generic workout.
I help people who feel weak, stiff or out of shape build a stronger body, move better and feel more confident in everyday life, itās that simple.
If that sounds like what you need, message me āFOUNDINGā and letās have a chat.
The people getting lasting results arenāt more motivated than youā¦
They still have busy weeks, they still miss workouts, and they still have s**t days.
They still have days when life gets difficult and the gym is the last place they want to be going to.
The difference is that they arenāt relying on motivation alone.
They have:
⢠A clear goal to work towards
⢠A structured plan showing them exactly what to do
⢠Support when something isnāt working
⢠Someone holding them accountable when motivation drops
⢠A way to adapt when life gets in the way
Without that structure, itās easy to drift, second guess everything and eventually stop altogether.
Thatās why my 8-Week Stronger Body Project isnāt just another workout plan.
Youāll have personalised guidance, a clear route forward and my support throughout the 8 week, helping you lose body fat, build strength and regain control of your routine without making fitness your entire life.
The founding group starts Monday 7th September and is limited to 10 people (3 spaces of which have been taken btw xo - big love to those 3⦠and the next 7 š)
DM me āFOUNDINGā and Iāll send you the deets # # #

If youāve wanted proper coaching but the cost has held you back, Iāve created a more affordable way to work with me.
My 1-to-1 diary has reached capacity, and Iām not willing to keep adding sessions at the expense of my clients, my family or the quality of my coaching.
So, on Monday 7 September, Iām launching the first 8-Week Stronger Body Project (online coaching)
A structured online coaching designed to help you:
⢠Lose body fat
⢠Build strength
⢠Improve your nutrition
⢠Stay accountable
⢠Make progress without needing a perfect routine
Youāll receive structured training through my app, straightforward nutrition guidance, weekly accountability and ongoing support.
There are 10 founding places available at £100 for the complete eight weeks until the 25th August then prices will increase to £150 until slots are filled.
If youāre ready to stop starting again and been struggling to stay on track, DM me FOUNDING and Iāll send you the details.
Know someone who might need this? Send them the post plz and ty xo
You donāt need a complicated workout to become stronger, fitter and more capable.
This was five minutes to complete as many quality rounds as possible of:
7 push presses
7 deadlifts
7 bent-over rows
7 push-ups
The aim isnāt to race through ugly reps just to get a higher score.
Choose a weight you can control, move well throughout and rest whenever your technique begins to deteriorate.
Itās only five minutes, but done properly, it challenges -
ā
Full-body strength
ā
Muscular endurance
ā
Cardiovascular fitness
ā
Ability to maintain good movement while tired
Training should help you feel stronger and more capable outside the gym, not simply leave you layed out on the floor wondering what year it is.
Want to try it?
comment WORKOUT and Iāll send you the full workout I put this client through, including an easier version if you need it.

85.1kg ā”ļø 72kg.
Cutting phase complete. Now itās time to build.
This week I started reversing out of my deficit and towards a muscle-gaining phase by increasing my calories.
Despite eating more, my weight continued to drop, and I finally hit the goal weight I originally set myself.
That doesnāt mean increasing calories magically caused the weight loss. It simply shows that, even after the increase, I was probably still below maintenance and the downward trend hadnāt finished yet.
Calories are going up by another 200 this week. The aim is to find a reliable maintenance baseline before focusing properly on better training, recovery, strength, muscle growth and work on some key areas of muscle imbalance, postural issues and areas I want a bigger focus on like shoulders.
Iāve achieved the smaller and leaner body.
Now I want to build the stronger, more capable one.
The goal isnāt just to look good, itās to build a body that works as good as it looks.
Next phase begins. šŖ
Youāre worried about the aspartame in a Diet Cokeā¦
The mercury in a tin of tunaā¦
Or the cholesterol in a couple of eggsā¦
But Greggs and McDonaldās knows you by name and you have a fridge or cupboard full of alcohol š
This is what I mean by majoring in the minors.
Itās easier to obsess over one ingredient than admit that the basics arenāt consistently in place:
Enough protein.
Enough fruit and veg.
Appropriate portions.
Mostly nutritious food.
Some flexibility without taking the p**s.
This doesnāt mean ingredients, quantities or individual medical needs never matter.
It means sorting out the biggest problems before losing your mind over the smallest ones.
Your overall diet and fitness matters far more than whether one individual food is perfectly āclean.ā
Save this for the next time the nutrition police inspect your tin of tuna.
