Happy to see the end of this week 😂

Training-wise a total write off and a couple days off work with this rank cold going around 🤒

Hate that feeling of not being able to train, but same as I tell my clients

Can only control the controllables

Bit of rest and recovery this weekend and then coming into next week pushing on again 💪🏻

FUN is the main aim for Senga’s current training plan 🥳

Some of the exercises in that plan are perhaps not optimal for her current long term goal of doing her first powerlifting competition

So why is the program like that? 🤔

For a bit of context, Senga has been training with me for 4 years now! Middle 3rd of this year we had been working towards Senga doing this first powerlifting competition with a program designed specifically for this. Unfortunately when trying to get into the competition the spaces were first come, first served and filled up almost immediately meaning she missed out which f*cking sucked after months of hard work!

Enthusiasm for training dipped in the weeks after that and consistency followed. Essentially all that hard work had been put in with minimal reward.

There was definitely a feeling those few weeks after of "what if she puts in all this work again only to miss out again in another few months"

So while the powerlifting competition remains a target we decided to postpone it to next year and basically run a block where FUN and actually getting back to rediscovering that love for training is the aim of the game.

That’s meant doing some exercises we’ve not done for a while, adding in some gym classes to the weekly routine and remembering why we come to the gym in the first place…to actually f*cking feel good.

Ultimately if you want to be consistent you've got to enjoy what you're doing so sometimes that just needs to be at the forefront of your gym routines 🙌

What's the super secret method that nobody is telling you about to get fit?

Well it's actually just about getting better and stronger at the basics over weeks, months and years.

Squating, pressing, rowing, hinging. Eating a suitable amount of calories and protein.

Anybody who tells you they've invented some highly confidential method that they will only tell you for £1000/month is quite frankly a b*llsh*tter!

BUT

If you'd like someone to help you master those basics, and help you progress them to get you to where you want, give me a shout as it's what I do for people on a daily basis!

3 gym kit essentials I would recommend if you’re serious about getting strong

Chalk - Honestly the most important one of these. Every single pulling exercise your grip will give up before the main muscles you’re working do. Can be swapped for straps but i’ve always preferred chalk myself.

Camera - We’ve all got one on our phones and it can be one of the most useful tools for evaluating your form. You don’t have to go for the full Hollywood tripod setup you see in the gym, but watching your sets back can tell you what you’re doing right and wrong.

Lifting belt - A lifting is a great tool for helping you brace properly on big movements like deadlifts and squats. Get the basics right first and don’t fall into the trap of using the belt as a crutch for bad form, but used properly this is super important when you get to a certain level.

Let me know if you want any recommendations for any of these!

Gooooooddddd training block from

Just the 50kg added across the 3 big lifts 👀

I've said this before but you don't have to be living in the gym to get this kind of progress.

This comes from a consistent twice a week plan just simply striving for progression each session 💪
