Physique updateā€¼ļø

Lightest Iā€™ve been in a good few years (85KG), now Iā€™m back playing football on a consistent basis I learnt that being 92KG wasnā€™t ideal!šŸ˜‚

Iā€™m definitely eating more as Iā€™m training more so Iā€™m putting the extra calories to good use!

Main emphasis on my training at the moment is getting stronger within my compounds and Olympic lifts while keeping the rest of my training fun and enjoyable.

Client SpotlightšŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

I donā€™t ever share client progress on my page however this is too good to not show, Enes has been absolutely class the past 4 weeks!

He came to me with the goal of wanting to be bigger, more muscular and stronger. Clear improvements all over! Training wise he works extremely hard, listens and executes every movement with perfect technique!

Food wise heā€™s always been a ā€˜hard gainerā€™, however heā€™s been accountable to make sure heā€™s eating in a caloric surplus everyday even if that means the odd treat!šŸ˜‹

Hereā€™s to the next 2 months mate and letā€™s see what we can achieve!!

3 years of hard work, trial and error and most importantly finding balance.

On the left Iā€™d starve myself of food to obtain ā€˜absā€™ to impress girls. Iā€™d do endless amounts of cardio because being ā€˜shreddedā€™ is cool and again girls like that right? Iā€™d bring prepped meals round my girlfriends at the time because I was tracking, I was so concerned with how I looked and how others perceived me. Social life was little to none existent, meals with my family and friends? ā€œSorry I canā€™t make it, Iā€™m trackingā€. The truth on the left is that I was so bothered with how I looked I actually ended up looking unwell.

On the right Iā€™ve found balance between eating well most of the time, training because I love it and not for anyone elseā€™s satisfaction. Love the feeling laying on the floor after a conditioning session thinking ā€œhow the f**k have I survived that?ā€. Enjoying myself on the weekends with friends and family, not feeling guilty after have endless bowls of cereal or doughnuts in the evenings. All my friends know Iā€™m not a massive drinker or maybe Iā€™m a ā€œlightweightā€ but I love drinking with my boys, love going for meals and thatā€™s never going to change. Training how I want, whether itā€™s bodybuilding, CrossFit, sometimes even powerlifting šŸ˜‚ because I enjoy it, I do this for me not for anyone else.

Iā€™ve realised that fitness and health isnā€™t necessarily how you look however itā€™s more about how you feel.

Remember this is your life and end of the day you do what makes you happy as thatā€™s the main thing! Compete against yourself for yourself, donā€™t compare anyone elseā€™s journey to yours. Iā€™m happy and grateful to have such amazing people around me!

Imbalancesā‰ļø
Whenever we train you may find you have a stronger more dominant side especially for the individuals who have grown up playing sports. During my hypertrophy session I like to include one movement which is unilateral. This is a movement which only utilises one limb. Below is a seated cable row but instead single arm. This allows me to focus on one side at a time!!

EMOMā€¼ļø

Deadlifts and burpees!! This was an absolute killer, this year Iā€™ve set the goal of deadlifting 227.5KG so Iā€™m making sure Iā€™m deadlifting at least once every week. Iā€™ve been including them in my conditioning sessions with different rep ranges and weight as Iā€™ve found this has helped me increase my strength, power and efficiency massively! Today Iā€™ve dropped the weight to 120KG and just about survived a 20 min EMOM (every minute on the minute). Definitely give this ago if you really want to test yourself, adjust the weight to suit you and the timing and reps if your new to this style of training!
-
-
-
First min 8 deadlifts (remaining minute rest)
Second min 8 burpees over back (remaining minute rest)
