The Brotherhood meet up 🚀

Maaaaaan, I feel extremely fortunate to be surrounded by such a great bunch of blokes!

Being online has its advantages. It allows me to help even more men by analysing and optimising their journeys, so they can take their health to the next level.

BUT nothing beats an in-person community meeting up.

Getting the lads together to learn, train and gob off.

Just men being men!

I hope you all had a great weekend 👌🏽

Try to see your health from a different angle. See it from a different perspective.

A selfless father goes above and beyond to look after his health. To become a shining beacon of light, showing his kids the way.

A selfless father who looks after his health feels confident in himself and displays those qualities to his children.

A selfless father doesn’t hold his children back with his own limiting beliefs. He sets new beliefs and shows his children that anything is possible!

There’s no need to go hell for leather, training for a few months to look good on holiday. Then sacking it all off.

You need a system where you can make small weekly deposits that keep you looking and feeling healthy 24/7.

Remember the old saying… a puppy isn’t just for Christmas, it’s for life.

Think of your health in the same way.

That baggy black top you have been living in has a darker impact on your life than you think.

So it’s starts off as just a top.

An easy grab from the wardrobe because you “don’t feel like” wearing anything else.

It’s something you know you’ll feel comfortable in, but it’s also secretly something you hide behind.

Have you ever thought that “the black top” is more than just a top? That it has actually become your amour.

It’s protect you against the shame and from facing the truth that you’ve been putting yourself last.

Over time, it starts to affect how you speak to yourself in your mind and it starts to shape your behaviour.

You stop wearing fitted clothes. You pull your T-shirt down when you sit. You make excuses when your kids want to do something physical or is over revealing like if they ask you to jump on the trampoline or go swimming. Because deep down, you’re scared of being seen.

That black top doesn’t just hide your body…

It hides your confidence and your presence as a father.

It’s the silent symbol of everything you’ve let slip and the weight of that becomes heavier than any dumbbell in the gym.

Every time you choose to stay covered, you’re subconsciously telling yourself, “I’m not proud of who I’ve become” or “

That message repeats every fu***ng day until it becomes belief.

Belief becomes identity.

And identity dictates every action you take.

So fathers, it’s not about the top. It’s about what it represents.

The moment you decide to change that story and to earn the right to take that top off and feel proud again. That’s when everything else in your life starts to shift.

Your kids don’t need a perfect dad or a dad with a six pack. What they need is a dad who’s proud of who he is.

Unapologetically himself!!!

So maybe it’s time to retire the black top, stop hiding and start building the man beneath it.

You don’t need shredded abs, you just want your self-respect back.

I see you, mate. I understand what it’s like when looking in the mirror hurts and being around others makes you feel uncomfortable in your own skin.

It’s a cycle I’ve watched countless dads struggle with for too long.

But the good news? You don’t have to live there forever.

Swipe through this carousel and see exactly how you can begin breaking that cycle of shame.

One step at a time.

If this hits home and you’re done feeling ashamed.

DM me “STRONG DAD” and let’s talk about taking your first step forward, together.

Life has been so hectic recently.

Social events, family stuff, stag do, hen do, packing the house up.

Work has been crazier than ever. Fair few Dads have joined the clan. I’m currently in the process of fully upgrading the service so my lads are armed with all the knowledge they need to succeed.

In between all that, finding time to spend with the kids is an absolute priority.

So when these relaxed little weekends come a long they mean so much more.

Just spending quality time with my little troops!

I hope you’ve all had a great weekend. Big love from my family to yours ❤️

I served two operational tours in my career.

Afghanistan and Iraq.

Out there, being strong and fit wasn’t optional.

We trained for survival.

Yeah, we still cared about how we looked, we were young lads for f***sake. Who loved to peacock.

However, the reality of the situation was, if your body failed, someone could die.

So we trained almost every day:
- 10 mile TABS
- Strength sessions
- Circuit sessions
- 10-20 mile runs
- Up and down countless mountains

The list of different physical exercise activities we used to do was endless and some were very creative.

Because it was our duty. The pride of the Parachute Regiment was our relentless, unwavering fitness and strength.

When I became a dad, I felt that duty again!

My kids need me strong just like my section did.

They might not be under fire, but they still need me fit and focused.

Alive, energised and capable.

Too many dads let themselves fall apart. Hiding behind excuses. Until they can’t look themselves in the mirror or chase their kids at the park.

Fighting off illnesses induced by their lifestyle.

Always tired and carrying excess weight they don’t want.

Short fuse, angry with the world.

Wishing they could change but keep telling themselves they’re too busy.

YOUR FAMILY NEEDS YOU STRONG!

OR it’s your family that pays the price.

Let’s be the best Dads we can be! 👊🏽💥

“What if I pay and nothing changes?”

Fair question.

But here’s a harder one…

What if you don’t pay... and nothing changes?

Nothing changes when you’re happy where you are.

And if you’re not, then this needs to be really fu***ng important to you.

Not just a thought or a hope. But a fu***ng mission!

This is about becoming a stronger man for your kids.

Parenthood is a battlefield.

No one’s coming to save you.

You’ve got to be willing to fight for a better version of yourself.

I can help you find your WHY.

I can also give you the knowledge, structure, and support.

But I can’t do the work for you. No one can.

That choice is yours. Always will be.

Let’s be the best Dads we can be! 👊🏽💥

Elliot trained hard for 2 years.

He was doing everything right… or so he thought!

- Tracked his food.
- Hit the gym.
- Watched all the fitness content.

Yet frustratingly he was seeing no progress.

Then doubtful thoughts start seeping in “Maybe I’m just not meant to be in shape.”

The reality is he just lacked the right plan and the right support.

Once Elliot stuck his up and asked fro help, everything changed.

20kg down, then he went into a successful bulk, finishing on a cut for a shoot.

But more important than the result was what came after.

Elliot now travels, eats out, drinks beer, and stays in shape with EASE.

It became second nature.

He learned how to live in balance.

He built a system that works for his life, not against it.

He no longer asks “what am I doing wrong?”

He knows exactly what matters and how to do it, daily.

Let’s be the best Dads we can be! 👊🏽💥

“It’s always the same. I do okay for a few weeks. Then I lose track and stop training.”

Parenthood is a battlefield.

And your health is usually the first casualty.

I could go on all day about the pressures that cloud a fathers brain. You know how fu***ng hard it is.

Yet you stop looking after yourself in order to free up more time, but is it actually helping?

The gym gets sacked…
You grab s**t food in a rush…
Energy dissappears…
Confidence fades like a weak p**s stream into the wind…

So you make a bid to try and regain it.

You have a couple of good weeks then BAM… one bad week f***s you up and you quit… AGAIN!

You a structure in place that allows you to consistently do the little things that matter!

So start small, pick a few low level habits and smash them. Build your confidence then start adding to them!

This is what I help Dads do every single day.

If you feel like you’re losing yourself in the fight…

DM me “STRONG DAD” and I’ll show you how to take back control.

Let’s be the best Dads we can be! 👊🏽💥

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life.

At 19, I genuinely believed it was cool to put a loaded pistol in my mouth with my finger on the trigger for a “funny” photo.

But I wasn’t thinking at all. I had no value on life. No real self-awareness. No clue how much my choices could cost me or the people I loved.

But throughout each stage of my life I have grown.

Always striving to become a better version of myself.

I CHOSE CHANGE.

And you can too.

Your health matters! Your choices matter!

And the longer you wait… the more it costs.

Excuses like “I don’t have the time” or “My family come first” sound noble. But the fact is, you’re just burying your head in the sand and choosing the easy way out.

If you’re a dad feeling stuck… tired… overweight… lost…

That doesn’t make you weak.

But doing nothing about it? That’s the real fu***ng danger!

The way you show up for your kids… starts with how you show up for yourself.

So here’s your moment.

Decide…

What kind of man do you want to be?

Because change doesn’t happen on its own!

Let’s be the best Dads we can be! 👊🏽💥
