šŸ’„ 4 Days VS ~8 Weeks (Post Show Update)šŸ’„

Almost 7kg difference between the two photos, which I’m happy with - even know I’m not as lean (obviously), I’m noticeably fuller and look bigger/feel better in my day to day life which is reassuring! Still holding on to some condition too which is nicešŸ¤žšŸ»

I knew the initial weight would jump and with a conscious effort to spend quality time with Celine and the family/a holiday away without tracking, overall very happy with how things are coming alongšŸ™šŸ¼

It’s very easy to get caught up in the day to day and feel like you’re letting all your hard work slip away, especially going from the stage and seeing yourself that lean - but it’s important to keep a reminder that body fat will come back as your body is returning to a healthier state and adjust as it does.

Still waking up excited to train and for the future, a lot of exciting things coming up to look forward to and it’s great to have the energy in the evenings again to run around with and enjoy time with family!

Onwards and upwardsšŸ“ˆšŸ‘€

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and these legs won’t be eitheršŸ’ŖšŸ¼

Everyone looks for ā€œthe shortcutā€ or ā€œthe easy wayā€

Truth is; fast fixes, fad diets and TikTok workouts don’t build muscle or lose weight

Consistency doesā—ļø

You don’t have to be perfect 24/7 or follow an extreme diet

But you do need a plan that fits your life

That’s where having a personal trainer can come in handy

Sundays Upper SessionšŸ’ŖšŸ¼

It’s been a little while since the last update, but currently sitting around 80kg post illness - I’m really happy with how lifts are progressing, constant weight and rep increases over the weeks whilst still keeping some resemblance of conditionšŸ˜Ž

It’s definitely a challenge detach yourself from the ā€œstage lookā€ and allow a bit of fluff to come back on as you switch into the offseason, but I’ve kept a nice structure to my eating and allowed some off plan meals with family to keep the mental side a lot easieršŸ¤žšŸ»

Really excited for this chapter and still waking up everyday excited to train and improve!

ā˜ ļøFirst session back after illnessā˜ ļø

Safe to say last week was a write off, gastroenteritis is no joke…

Dropped from 78.9kg -> 74.2kg, which is within 0.2kg of what I was on show day😳

It was mostly water lost due to being unable to eat properly for over 3 days, but still feel the drop in weight through energy and general bodily function. Back up to 76.9kg today with more regimented eating back in place, and getting the calories in - back in my surplus and pushing againšŸ¤žšŸ»

However yesterday we got back at it with training, hit a (very weak and slightly disappointing) leg session - working at reduced load to get my body moving again, still feel depleted but things are moving in a positive direction…

Moral of the story is:

It doesn’t matter who you are, everyone has setbacks. But it is how you deal with those setbacks and get back on plan that matters.

In the wise words of Chumbawamba, ā€œI get knocked down, but I’ll get up again. You’re never gonna keep me downā€šŸ«”

šŸ‘Rebound updatešŸ‘

It’s officially week 3 of the rebound, here’s a three of wins so far:
- Weekly average weight has climbed by 0.3kg from week 1-2 which is perfectly in line with what we’re aiming for!
- Now controlling and properly executing 70kg on the incline smith now, feels amazing! Can’t wait to push this further
- Genuinely feel like I’m adjusting to the frequency of 3 lower sessions a week & starting to love the upper lower split I have in placešŸ¤žšŸ»

Two things I’ve learnt so far:
- Just because my legs ache, that doesn’t mean I can’t train them with the same intensity. By this I don’t mean that I’m going into every session in absolute agony, but once I’ve warmed up and got moving they often become much less sore & it gets me past the mental block of ā€œif they ache I can’t trainā€
- There is always room for improvement, by recording and reviewing my sets during session I have made major improvements in my form and ex*****on of exercises (new ones and ones I’ve been doing for years)šŸ’ŖšŸ¼

Waking up every day excited to train and progress, I can’t wait to see how far I can take thisšŸ‘ŠšŸ»

šŸ‘€1 Day Post show vs 11 Days Post showšŸ‘€

This rebound from prep feels extremely productive, 0.4kg difference between these pictures (granted I enjoyed food on the evening before the pictures on the left), but overall woke up 2.5kg above my weight from show day todayšŸŽ‰

Rolling into a controlled growth phase like I said before, very happy with how condition has held up (arguably my quads look equally or possibly more separated right now with some extra fullness🤣)…

Really working hard to keep food and appetite under control during this recovery phase, and have run a few high days (+400 calories) over the past 3 days whilst ramping up training volume within sessions - seems to be working a charm🫔

🌟 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🌟

This is Dan, when we first started working together in April our main focus was correcting his form on exercises and dialling in a calorie target that we’ve been adjusting to matched his goals and weekly weight trendsšŸ’ŖšŸ¼

Dan started at 86KG then over the 12 week deficit we carried out, he’d lost 10.4KG🤯

All this whilst toning up and performing better in the gym…

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him grow in confidence along with strength, and we are now moving into a growth phase with a very exciting year ahead of us!

Huge congratulations for all his hard work, I can’t wait to see how the next few months go🫔

āš”ļø2025 vs 2026āš”ļø

A couple of comparisons of last years final show (left) to this years show (right)…

This to me above any placements or titles, is the biggest win. Seeing the improvements and results of hard work sparks a fire in me that will fuel this offseason šŸ”„

I know for a fact my ability to pose and present my physique on stage has improved tenfold, I owe a lot of that to the guidance from Jon Lofthouse - Posing Coach and the hours of practice along side early morning daily self check-ins (which are still, and will still continue throughout the offseason - Apple will soon charge me for more storage space.. It’s inevitable🤣)

Sometimes it takes that outside view and someone’s wealth of experience to actually make those improvements & the ability to objectively look at what you’re doing day to day to build habits that manifest into results🫔

So excited for every day right now: Spending quality time with my favourite people, kicking off the bulk in a steady and productive way, training hard and focusing on the things that matter and the people I work withšŸ¤žšŸ»

(Ps. I’m starting to realise what the judges meant last year about abdominal control while posing, looking like a hot ab balloon in last years side chest😭)

šŸ“„ As always, if you’re interested in making a serious positive change in your physique and training - DM me & we can make the most of the time you spend in the gym šŸ‹šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

šŸ“PCA Naturals 3 - Stage Pics

Looking back on these photos a week later and I’m very happy with how far my posing had come, considering my last show was in September 2025 and I’d started this prep at the end of February with the intentions of competing again before the second baby came along - I’m very happy with the difference compared to last year.

Condition could have been and would have gotten better should I have decided to continue into the August/September shows, with lower body coming in tighter. However I don’t regret making the decision to step back and take a few years off the stage to grow and build as much muscle in the right places as possible & be as present as possible with Celine Douahlee Vue-Didwell and give back to her during this timeā¤ļø

I’m beyond excited to grow (especially my legs) and bring a much improved package to stage next time I step up there🫔

For now it’s family, coaching, learning & growingšŸ™šŸ¼
