Trayn Method

2024 is going to be another top year for s**tfluencers

If you follow people that stupid and manipulative , unfollow them asap before they drag you into their s**t pit.

Why I use a phased approach?

Well…if you chase two rabbits, you catch neither.

How does that apply to you?

If you’re trying to do two things at once, you’ll probably achieve neither.

And if you do, it won’t be that great.

This is a common mistake.

Examples like 👇🏼

> Trying to lose body fat while trying to grow your bum.

> Trying to build as much muscle as possible while training for a marathon

They’re working against each other.

So this is why I use a phased approach at Trayn Method.

ONE main focus for each phase.

This means my clients absolutely smash their goal and get insane results like above.

A applying different phases for different goals and different people.

I have many tools in the box, knowing which ones to use and when is where coaching comes in.

If you want to get into the best shape of your life this year get yourself a coach that knows what they’re doing.

If you’re ready for your transformation, drop me a message saying hi and we can have chat about.

Progress update from a brilliant client.

This is from a quick dieting phase which was phase 1 of her program.

There wasn’t a huge amount of fat to lose, but you can see she’s lost quite a bit…

14 pounds worth

What did Tilly do?

Firstly she messaged me asking for help after having not much success with a PT.

Takes more than a couple of PT sessions a week to develop your physique, there’s the other 23 hours of the day to sort out too.

After signing up, Tilly put her trust in me and MOST importantly, she did what she needed to do to get to this point.

This comes down to good communication where a coach asks more questions than gives orders.

In this time she has dropped a lot of fat 🔥

Got extremely stronger in the gym 💪🏼

And her mood and mental health has improved with the confidence she’s gained from not just how she looks, but achieving small wins daily.

What now?

Phase 2 will be a short reverse diet where her physique will really start to change shape with more calories to work with.

This is where the fun really begins, and where a lot of people can miss out on.

I’ll get her eating more calories than she could ever imagine while having the best figure she’s ever had.

You could call me a wizard (if you want)

Stay turned for more updates through this next phase

If you want to lose weight in time for all your Christmas events, drop me a message and we can have chat about coaching.

5 things about me

As I have had a fair few new followers I figured it was time for an “about me’ recap.

1. Despite being an online coach and coming across confident I am still a definite introvert.

You could say an outgoing introvert, but once I am done with socialising I need to retreat to my own space to recover for a while. It helps I like my own company.

2. Before I become a PT (now online coach) I was in the construction industry.

I was a bricklayer by trade but I but I can plaster too. I then went on to do a degree in construction management and ended up working for one of the UK’s biggest construction companies. The last job for me was the London Bridge underground redevelopment.

3. I run for Wales in the 100 & 200 meters when I was a teenager.

I was always fast from a very young age, and won a lot prizes. Now I’m a lot slower 🐌

4. I strongly believe in personal responsibility (even when it’s not your fault)

My life changed for the better when I took responsibility for my life and where I was. When you take responsibility, you take back control of your life and future.

5. I’ve taken a good 5 years off my life from my partying in my twenties.

I won’t say more on that 😂

Courage

There are a ton of things that bore me these days…

Must come as we age

You’re probably the same,

Things that you’re just DONE with…

Stuff that used to get your blood pumping years ago…

Going for a quiet drink on Friday and getting in on Sunday 😫😂

Gossip and scandal (don’t fu***ng care),

And then there’s social media influencers 🤮 (need I say more?)

Not in the slightest bit interested.

But one thing that always impresses me is bravery.

Now THAT gets my juices flowing every single time.

Namely, the courage that new clients show when they reach out to me for the first time.

That initial hesitant communication...

That first slightly reserved call...

And the trepidation they show when they first dip their toe in the waters of trusting me to help them with their physique and fat loss goals.

I’m never not impressed by the courage displayed by these people…

It never gets old.

They have taken their most personal thoughts and feelings,

And brought them to me to rummage through.

So, this post is to all of you out there who have already made this incredibly brave decision,

But also to all of you who are considering it.
I’m super fu***ng proud of you all…

Show me the tiniest amount of that courage I know you have inside you…

And I will help you unlock the rest of your (new) life.

Don’t listen to stupid people walking around supermarkets talking nonsense is a good rule of thumb.

Do you get stressed with how much time you need to commit to the gym?

I’ve had so many people tell me they haven’t got time.

And I get it, there’s work, family, commuting, food shopping, wife swapping, you know all sorts 😂

There is no set amount of time you must spend in the gym.

And this applies to physique development.

There’s lots of ways to get a lot of work done in a shorter amount of time.

But also, you can be disciplined with the amount of time you spend in the gym too.

This is something I do with some of my very busy clients.

And it works well.

All you need to do is set a countdown timer on your watch or phone.

This could be 30 minutes or 45 minutes.

Whatever is best for you.

You then get your best bang for your buck exercises done first and if you have time you hit accessory exercises.

If you run out of time, then that’s fine. You’ve still got a lot of good stimulating exercises ticked off.

This will alleviate some stress of worrying about time while you’re in the gym.

Do you do this? Let me know in the comments

Your training split is one of the least things to worry about.

1. Your form when lifting will dictate how much tension you put through the target muscle

2. If you’re not hitting the affective reps in your set your leaving a lot of muscle building reps on the table. When your reps start slowing down in the set, you’re hitting the affective reps.

3. Aiming for 10-20 sets per muscle group over a week is a good target. Start on the lower range then see how you respond over the weeks.

It’s also important to see how you recover from the amount of volume too.

Your training split should help with spreading the volume over the week and what split you actually enjoy.

Enjoyment is important.

Any questions? Drop me message 🤜🏼🤛🏼

I have been slacking

The past couple of months have been really tough for me.

Some big personal challenges and well...it’s really knocked me.

But it’s time to step up, because I have been a bit of a hypocrite.

I haven’t walked the walk.

This isn’t acceptable for me and my standards.

My clients have been working harder than me.

And that doesn’t sit right with me.

A good coach leads from the front.

So I am posting this to draw a line in the sand and make this public for extra accountability.

It’s time I step up and sort my s**t out.

I’ve got myself a coach to look over my nutrituon
and training. This will give me accountabilty which is huge, if you want to get something done.

But it will also free up some of my mental bandwidth so I can concentrate on my clients

The goal?

To get absolutely shredders.

A dieting phase starts today

My training will be consistent at 4 sessions a week.

This may sound a little corny, but I am going monk mode for the next couple of months.

I need to do it for myself.

I need to focus on myself.

I owe it to myself.

I will document the process on my stories so you can see what I do, and hope it brings you some value.

You’re lifting more weight than you’ve ever lifted, but the muscle isn’t growing like you thought it would?

This could be why?

Don’t chase weight at the expense of your lifting technique.

Once your form slips, tension moves away from the target muscle and other parts of your body start kicking in.

You need an internal thought process when it comes to building muscle.

Train hard and get close to failure on each set while nailing your form 🫡

Neil is a parent like many of my clients.

That comes with loads of responsibility.

Not just feeding and clothing them.

But setting the example when it comes to looking after themselves.

Now, you can do all the things that are expected of you…

Give them their 5 a day…🍎

Limit junk food…🍔

Let 'em run around a bit 🤪

But if you aren’t then adopting an attitude that says YOU aren’t worthy of self-investment…

That’s the message that’s going to win out in the end.

The fact is that actions speak louder than words…

And what your children see you DOING has a far greater impact than what they hear you SAYING.

So, we might talk a great “health story”…

Make all the right noises…

But be giving the subliminal message that we don’t value our own health by refusing to invest in it.

Self-investment is NOT selfish…

Why? Because you’re not just doing it for yourself!…

An investment in your health isn’t only an investment in your future…

But in the life quality of all of those around you…

Ask yourself today what messages you are sending out.

I am now taking on new clients for September.

Drop me a message with the word ‘coach’ and we can have a chat about it.
