How many Mondays have you promised yourself that you’d start?… 👀

Start exercising, eating better, getting to bed on time (guilty 🙋🏻‍♂️😂), looking after yourself, make ANY change that resembles you starting on becoming the person you keep telling yourself you want to be

And how many of those Mondays have come and gone?

In short, you’re in a habit already, just a delaying habit 🤷🏻‍♂️

You tell yourself you’ll start Monday, Monday comes around, life happens, you put it off again

Next thing you know, you’re in October and you said you’d start Monday 5th… of January 😬

There isn’t a “right time” if you always wait to be perfect

I was MEGA guilty of this once, I put off starting my own business because I wanted to make sure I was “secure” enough in my income… I delayed by at least a year 🤦🏻‍♂️

I want this post to put an end to your delaying

So, here’s a wild idea… why not start TOMORROW? 🤯

And I mean ACTUALLY start, literally ANYTHING 😂

Just ONE tiny thing 🤏🏼

A walk, a meal adjustment, go to the gym to enquire, go bed slightly earlier, drink more water, ask for help, it can literally be anything to break your cycle and start the process 👊🏼

And if you’re tired of trying to figure it all out on your own, drop me a message saying START and let’s work out how to make this time different 😁

Or share this with someone who keeps putting it off to next Monday 😂

Ew…Woke up, felt good, kept running, PB was on the cards, here we are 😂👌🏼PMA!

WHO THE HELL DO I THINK I AM??

Almost 3,000 of you here now, so I thought I’d introduce myself again 👋🏼😁

I’m Mark, the face behind The Mark Method

In gyms since 2012: volunteer, cleaner, assistant fitness manager, personal trainer, coach, gym owner… all just titles, all came with their own very powerful lessons 🙌🏼

These days, my sole role is coach and it’s my favourite of them all 😌 (online & in person)

I didn’t get into coaching because I was naturally confident, athletic or strong, the opposite, actually!

When I started I was underweight at 63kg bodyweight (but at 6ft 2!) = fit, but no strength
My heaviest to date was 108kg = strong, but no fitness
These days I sit around 93-94kg and feel great 😎

I know what it’s like to feel uncomfortable in your own skin, to struggle with confidence and to put yourself last when life happens

That’s why I care so much about what I do

In short, I help people get stronger, improve their fitness, work around injuries, build healthier relationships with food and achieve things they didn’t think were possible…WHILST dropping fat & gaining muscle 💪🏼

I (personally) don’t believe you need to dedicate your entire existence to fitness to achieve any of that 🤷🏻‍♂️

All this fitness stuff should make your life better, not become another thing to feel guilty about

So if we’ve not met yet, yo!

You’ll see content on strength training, running, nutrition, biomechanics, memes, dad jokes and plenty of reminders that progress doesn’t require perfection 👊🏼

LIFTING 🤝🏼 RUNNING

Not to sound like an old man but times have definitely changed in the view of “can you lift & run in the same programme?”

My personal journey has been:
*Runner turns Crossfitter
*Crossfitter turns Weightlifter
*Weightlifter turns Powerlifter
*Powerlifter starts running again too but 40kg-ish heavier than when he ran before 😂

I think we need to look past the “can you?” And move towards “how can I?”

Some of the main considerations are…

📈 START SLOW
Slow isn’t a bad thing, as long as there is progress you’re golden

🌤️ DON’T SKIP WARM UPS
Always important, reduced likelihood of nasties and get into your groove sooner, why would you want to skip them?

🤕 FATIGUE MANAGEMENT
This will be different from person to person but your body will give you signs, listen to them.

😴 THE BIG THREE
Protein, sleep, hydrate

🫪 IF TECHNIQUE FEELS OFF, ADDRESS IT ASAP
I’ve been giving free lifting advice in my DMs for years now, if you’re really unsure, send a video over of a lift that feels off 👊🏼

Or just ignore this and keep doing what you’re doing, whatever works best for you 😂🫶🏼

Just in case you were wondering what form feedback looks like with online coaching 👉🏼👈🏼👀…

Clear feedback, a cue to focus on, an explanation of why I’m asking you to change it AND I’m still (somewhat) professional 😂

God damn that was some good coaching 😮‍💨🤌🏼

On Friday, after starting my day at 3am, that evening, finishing work at around 5pm, my wife later CASUALLY suggested a Wagamamas, which of course I said yes to 😂

And to my surprise, we were meeting up with a few of my clients as they wanted to show their appreciation for the coaching 🥹

It was brilliant, fun and definitely a surprise!!

I’ve done a few posts expressing my gratitude in the past… and this is another one 😂

Clients of the present & past, I appreciate every single one of you, you’ll never be just a number to me 🫶🏼

And anyone who has liked or shared any of my socials or spread the word about The Mark Method… also mega grateful 🫶🏼

If this “isn’t a real job”, changing lives is a pretty cool hobby 😎

Stick around if you want to learn some bits that’ll hopefully help you 🙏🏼

Or shoot me a message if you’d like some more direct support 👊🏼

World Su***de Prevention Day

We celebrate the strength we can see

The weight lifted
The distance covered
The progress picture

But some of the strongest things a person will ever do happen quietly

If you have the slightest concern about someone, check in on them… if you’re not sure still, ask again, give them time to answer, don’t fix, just listen and allow that moment for them to express

If you are going through something yourself, there are alternative options, it might not feel like it but there are & you won’t feel this way forever, it all starts with a conversation ✌🏼

I haven’t deadlifted in nearly 7 months 😬

And 2 clients doing powerlifting comps this month has made me realise I’ve missed them 😂

They were just absolutely zapping my energy at the time and as running was becoming more of a priority, for me it was logical to take a break from them 🤷🏻‍♂️

7 months later: running is much better & recovery is better, so deadlifts are back 👀

I genuinely had 150kg in my head as a rough target for my first session back

Grip was the reason 190kg fell short but I’m ok with that

Then 3x3 at 150kg for the working sets 🥳

Nice reminder that sometimes you don’t need to force an exercise just because it’s a “good” exercise

If it’s taking more than it’s giving, change it, reduce it or take a break

Your programme should serve the goal… not the ego 😌

…this isn’t a free pass on Bulgarian Split Squats by the way 😎 you likely just need more practice 👊🏼
