End of week 14 now on to my holiday
We did the shoot Sunday and everyone looked amazing
Unfortunately I hate all my pictures and how I looked so won't be posting unless I see something I'm happy with which is unlikely
Weight up 2.6lbs not a surprise as I've had two off plan meals one after the shoot with the guys and then my step sons birthday
How ever things look tighter a week apart crazy
Time to push now and get weight back down for my holiday and then reset and go again after that

TRT Changed My Life (And It Had Nothing to Do With the Gym)
For years, I thought feeling tired, lacking motivation, having a lower s*x drive, and struggling through everyday life was just part of getting older. I accepted it because that's what we're often told—that low energy, low libido, and feeling "off" is simply normal as we age.
It isn't.
In this video, I share my personal experience with Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and how it completely changed my quality of life. This isn't about building muscle, chasing a six-pack, or becoming a bodybuilder. My decision to start TRT had nothing to do with the gym—it was about getting my life back.
I'll talk about:
* Why I decided to start TRT.
* How my energy levels changed.
* The impact it had on my libido and s*x life.
* Improvements in my mood, motivation, and mental wellbeing.
* How everyday tasks became easier instead of feeling like a struggle.
* Why I believe feeling exhausted all the time shouldn't be accepted as "just getting older."
Everyone's experience is different, and TRT isn't a magic fix or the right choice for everyone. This video is simply my honest journey and what worked for me. If you've been feeling like you're not yourself anymore, hopefully this helps you understand that there may be options worth exploring with a qualified healthcare professional.
If you've had a similar experience, or you're considering TRT, let me know your thoughts in the comments. I'd love to hear your story.

Photo dump from the weekend
Wow, what can I say? It was a weekend to remember.
Starting off with a Saturday of having my Client Dan's first bodybuilding show, what an experience and great to see him on stage
The pride that knowing I've got this guy to the where he needs to be and he held his own against the overalls was an amazing feeling for him and myself
Moving from this Saturday to another day on the Sunday of the photo shoot eight Client all showing their full potential and whatever they've achieved over 13 weeks of prep
Another proud moment I've seen these guys going from where they were to achieving a result they never thought possible
Tomorrow I do these fair shoes the more I enjoy seeing the results and getting the guys into the place they never thought possible
Oh my God, and each shot I say I learned something new and this one didn't disappoint with the heat wave hitting hard and absolutely skewering people's body weights and visuals. It brought a whole new life to me after to work with guys and keeping them calm. Something I haven't had to do previous.
So yes again there was another shoot where I learned something new keeping people calm and explaining what s**t is happening within the body
But the end result was eight people looking absolutely amazing in great shape
And exhausting, but thoroughly enjoyable weekend

Proud coaching moment
Wow what a day yesterday was I got to join my client on his journey to his bodybuilding first timers show
And he won his category and looked amazing in the overall up against all the other bodybuilding category winners
Dans journey started back in sept 25 with joining me for a photo shoot prep and he lost an amazing 50lbs and did the unthinkable to him got abs
From there he decided that he wanted to compete in a bodybuilding show
So the start of feb 26 we started working on getting stage ready
And I couldn't be prouder of him doesn't matter what I throw at him he just cracks on and does it.
Our aim was to get a invite to the British finals which we have done
Dan has another show booked in July which we will be taking a different approach this show will be more for stage confidence as we bring him out of prep recover the body and start a small growth phase ahead of the British prep
Big thank you dans posing coach Hinesh Shukla | Online Coach | PCA Pro & Official Judge for supporting Dan with the posing side of things
It takes a team to win

End of week 13 of shoot prep
I'll be carrying this on for another two weeks after yes to shoot finishes on Sunday but I'm going away on Holly so for two more weeks I want to be dialled in. I will show you guys the end result.
It's been a tough week in the fact that we've had a heat wave which is skewed the bodies visuals weight and made me look crap compared to what was three days ago
It's crazy one minute you feel like yes I actually see results to the next minute thinking what the f**k is going on here
Send your head all over the place because all your effort is the best vision version of yourself it's just hasn't come around in my head
So I'm hoping to come to the shoot will drop down the heat. The body will relax and all the fluid will f**k off.
Yes, I'm a long way away from what I want to look like and what my aim was
Which is why I'm carrying on towards my holiday and then when I get back will start again
For this week, it's just about trying to keep my head level and probably try to relax your body, which is what I am really fine and hard
Cause in my head, I just wanna keep pushing my body and pushing as hard account to get better results. It's not always possible to do that though I know that but it doesn't stop you fighting that.
Five common mistakes made after two years of your journal
Number one, you have no structure with your training plan you just go in and sort wing the Gym
Number two poor sleep you don't concentrate on sleep and that has an effect on your body. Poorly plays a massive part within the body.
Number 3 cal run too low or too high in a surplus what you tend to find as people run their carries way too low we shouldn't stresses their body and they don't get results
Number four training intensity is so poor they have no intent when they're getting to the gym. They're just going through the motions and hoping for results you need to train with an intent and with purpose.
Number five neglecting cardio cardio has its place in both a diet phase and a growth phase and people neglect them which then also impacts health and when you're trying to lose weight it also impacts your ability to lose weight
It's a tough to use to keep the heart health good in a book as you're pushing calories and weight up but also when we in a deficit it's a good way to get some extra calories burn to make a bigger deficit
Why trucking calories can be f**king up your progress?
Quite simply when you track calories, if you're not diligent with what you're doing and you haven't learned properly, you can misreport your food
A lot of people will miss report sources and oils meaning they miss them off and these can lead to a lot of extra calories taking you away from your deficit
So if you're tracking, you need to be really mindful of what have you put in your food and what are you putting on your food?
Simple thing is I took a Client from eating 1200 cal up to 1600 cal but what do we do different? We made sure she was tracking correctly.
We wasn't missing oils and sources we was now adherent the program because there was more food
And we took away meal plan and gave her calories because it was easy to fit in with a home life
Now this may seem like it's magic to most people because we get more food for the reality was with the hidden calories being consumed. She was probably on a s**tload more calories than we reported.
Now because we are have a diligent look at the food foods weight is falling off and she's getting the results she's after
Now you've been tracking colour before or you are currently tracking calories but not achieving the results you want you may be under a report in your food
And if you would like me to have a look over yours, simply send me a screenshot of your tracking calories and I will go over the food with you and we see if we can point out any problems
My job is to help you, and that's what I wanna do. If you feel you need help don't you can't reach out just send me a message and I'm happy to jump on and help
Chat-gpt coaches are f**king up your goals
Recently had a client reach out to me wanting to join my coach
After a little bit of discussion, she's been watching my results for seven months
And was a little bit apprehensive about contacting me because she previously had a coach that she'd found out her just ChatGPT her programs and I didn't actually given her anything tailored to her
And ultimately didn't get the results she was after
And when this happens, you obviously have them a little bit of trust issues about getting results about having a coach
And this is something that is quite popular within the coaching industry currently whereas people are just using quick and easy ways to give programs out
Now, yeah, ChatGPT could write a program quicker than I can, but it isn't gonna be tailored to you
It isn't also gonna have the critical thinking and being able to change things when issues are right and issues will and do rise
now, I don't know about you, but for myself if I'd had a coach that do this to me, I'd be a little bit upset too and I would definitely be apprehensive about taking another coach on
Now what I will say is if you're thinking about a coach or you feel you need a coach always reach out and talk to that coach that you're watching and get a feel for them
I've had Business mentors and I've had coaches too to help me with my training
I always end up watching these people for sometime before I make a decision
And then I will reach out to them coaches and then get a fee for whether I would want to work with them after that too
And I suggest you would do the same now if you're wanting help with coaching and I'm unsure please feel free to drop me a message. We can jump on a call no obligation. I wanna make you feel at ease with this. You don't have to take on my coaching, but you're more than welcome to have a talk with me
You have to be comfortable with a coach and the coach has to be comfortable with you
We definitely want to get your results within my coaching so if you feel that you need to have a chat, please reach out
