This time 3 years ago we were completing day 3 and 4 of our Mount Everest Basecamp trek.

We started day 3 with a 3am rise to travel by bus for 5 hours to Ramschaap airport to then find that no planes were allowed to fly unless there was 90% visibility. Mainly due to us flying into the most dangerous airport in the world, Lukla Airport.

So after a long wait, the pub was the logical place to head, where we may have drank more than we should have ๐Ÿ˜‚
Which was massively regretted at our 5am rise the next day๐Ÿคฎ

Where again the flights couldn't fly.
So helicopters were negotiated at a massive cost but it meant we got to fly.
But that came with a midair detour due to weather for half of our group (us included) which resulted in our first long trek which was roasting too and our first night trek of around 7 hours to our accommodation to be greeted with potatoes and Yaks cheese.
That was a tough introduction to our trek.

But bed then the proper start to our journey on day 4.
A nice little 10 hour walk to around 2500m.

Stunning views, temperature in the mid 20ยฐs and a good chance to meet the group properly. But at this point we were realising just how tough this was going to be.

Only 2 days into the journey and we've been in the pub, on a helicopter, walked for hours, been burnt with the heat, ate Yaks cheese and this was the easy bit.

Robbie is shaping up nicely and is showing pretty impressive strength and fitness too.

Robbie has a busy work schedule so trains a lot from the house with his weekly pt session with myself thrown in which makes these results even more impressive.

And he's also throwing in massively impressive 4 minute km runs.

Lower bodyfat, smaller waist, bigger shoulders and pretty impressive strength.

Absolutely smashing it bud.
Looking impressive.

A belated happy birthday to my good client Leeanne.

Totally missed the fact it was her birthday, sorry pal.

An incredible client who battles massive gym anxieties to smash out a 1.7 stone weight loss along with a huge bodyfat loss.

Well proud of you pal.
You're smashing this.

Happy birthday.

It's mad to think that it was 3 years ago today that we arrived in Khatmandu to begin our journey to Everest Basecamp.

I know some people say certain things are life changing but this was probably the first thing I'd say was close to that for me.

It made me realise what I wanted to do with myself, who to lose, who to keep, who was holding me back and basically where I wanted to take things, especially with my career.

But it was also the start of 12-15 extremely tough days of walking, especially with the altitude but I got to see things I never thought I ever would.

So I'll post a few memories over the new few weeks of how it all went.

Here's the first few days meeting the team and exploring the city of Khatmandu, Nepal.

Big Stuart came to me looking to gain massively in strength as he sheds weight and bodyfat and he had a few personal battles he wanted to fight.

He also had the belief that you can't get stronger without getting bigger which isnt exactly right.

It's muscle that lifts, not fat so we shift the fat by eating better and we gain strength by lifting better.
Simple as that. No point in overcomplicating things.

And it's working perfectly for him.

He's now around 3-4 stone off (need to check again to be exact) and his strength is going through the roof.

Now leg pressing (a favourite of his) 365kg x 10 reps and then 375kg x 5 reps.

He's getting leaner as he grows massively in muscle and he's still getting to enjoy the fun things in life as it should be.
I dont make it too strict as you need to enjoy your training and not let it all take over your life, it rarely lasts that way.

We're making changes that last a lifetime.

Well proud of how you are progressing bud. You made a big step and are now reaping the rewards.

Sam deserves huge praise as the past few weeks at DCPT she has shown exactly what makes her as incredible as she is.

She has not only shown a huge physique transformation but she has massively impressed with her strength and fitness and proved that by taking on and smashing out a PB of 15 mins quicker at the Glasgow half marathon.
And that's despite not properly training for it which just shows how much her natural fitness has improved.

She's incredible at the group and pt sessions and is up there with the fittest of my clients and to think she was once a nervous, anxious total gym newbie.

You've come a long way pal and I'm always massive proud to see you keep on improving.
