Back in the most aesthetic gym in the UK 🙂‍↕️

After 6 months away from Manchester, we’re back.

There’s been a lot of changes over the last couple of weeks, working to get back here - something I may touch on in the coming weeks.

These changes led me to not posting on social media for the longest time since creating this account 5 years ago (10 days).

And you know what?

It’s been amazing having a social media detox.

I’ve always rolled my eyes when coaches complain about having to post on social media.

But ngl, it’s felt great to have some headspace, reset and realign with what I want to do with this account, which is record my journey and the things I love.

So I’m back, but be expecting more of a personal approach to the content going forward! 🫡

A bad tradesman blames his tools ⚒️

Surprisingly good session at pure gym today.

One of them days where I couldn’t think of anything worse than travelling 35 minutes to hit legs (the usual time it would take me to drive to the gym).

Of course I wasn’t going to miss a session, but I thought how could I make it easier?

The solution was travelling 5 minutes down the road to a pure gym.

But the problem with that was the fact it was a pure gym 😅

Dead atmosphere, mediocre equipment and 5 broccoli heads hogging one machine 💀

But in all honesty, even though the kit is no where near the standard that you see at independent gyms nowadays, I still had a really productive session.

And that’s down to 2 reasons…

1. Knowledge

You could hand me any piece of kit and I’d be able to make a session out of it which accomplishes the same goals.

Once you know the principles behind training and biomechanics, all you really need is some dumbbells and cables.

2. Work ethic

One thing that will never change for me is how I show up.

It’s an absolute non-negotiable that as soon as I enter the doors of any gym, the session is getting sent.

Yes the atmosphere is like a grave yard in commercial gyms but you can create your own atmosphere in here 👉🏻🧠

Don’t blame your tools, work with what you’ve got 🚀

Amazing session with Glen this weekend 🚀

Glens been part of the team now for 14 weeks and has been an absolute pleasure to work with.

So it was about time we met up in person and took him through a proper session to work on his form and intensity alongside his video training reviews!

Over the last 14 weeks Glen’s communication has been top notch, he’s stepped outside of his comfort zone on many occasions and he’s now not taking offence to my constructive feedback which is great 😂👊🏻

Joking aside, Glens progress has been insane.

Over a stone down, training is constantly improving and we’ve still got over 6 months to dial in even more which is very exciting.

This has all been done while running his salon business, socialising/travelling some weekends and training only 3 times a week.

Literal proof that your lifestyle isn’t the issue, it’s just the wrong plan which doesn’t suit your goals or life.

Keep up the good work Glen!

Want to lose over a stone before Christmas like Glen?

Message me CHANGE and I’ll be in touch with the details 👊🏻

First 6 weeks of training wrapped up 🚀

6 weeks of laying the foundations for a productive, lean gaining phase.

I use the term ‘lean gaining phase’ but from what I’ve learnt over the last 10 years of building muscle, this is the only way you should be gaining.

Yes, some fat gain is inevitable when pushing your body weight up, but this doesn’t mean getting lazy, eating based on your appetite and gaining unnecessary body fat.

All that will do is make you far less responsive to your nutrition and shorten the amount of time you can spend in a surplus which is needed if you want to put on muscle tissue.

Last week I spent 5 days off training for the first time in about 6 months as a means to drop stress on my body which was impacting my sleep (averaging 5 hours per night).

My body now feels fresh to attack the next training block and I’m sure with sleep now being in the right spot my training is only going to get better.

First session back tomorrow for legs and pendulum is on the menu 🤩

Let’s get it 🚀

Sticking to my word.

6 weeks ago, I said this transition out of my deficit would be different.

No more post-diet binges, putting on all the body fat again within a matter of weeks and actually setting myself up for growth.

The end result hasn’t just been maintaining my abs.

It’s the confidence I’ve gained from not breaking the promise I made to myself.

And this is what affects most men.

Not the actual reflection in the mirror (although this plays a huge role in loving yourself).

But the hundreds of promises that you break every time you say this time it’ll be different.

Want to break that cycle?

Message me CHANGE to finish the year off strong and be a man of your word.

Warming up for muscle growth 📝

13/09/2026

Is optimisation costing you more than it’s giving you?

Yes, it’s great to set up a movement which is going to give you that little bit extra.

But, is that costing you the rest of your session?

It could be a bench which needs to be set up next to the cable stack which you have to get from the other side of the gym

A superset where you’ve got to run over to the other side of the gym

Or training unilaterally (single arm/leg) so you can align with the movement better.

Yes, it may work better on paper.

But, if it’s costing you enjoyment or efficiency within your session, it may be doing more harm than good.

That’s when programming becomes less of thinking ‘what’s best’

And more of what’s going to yield the most efficiency and enjoyment within the session.

These are one of the many considerations I take when creating a programme for my clients.

And something chat gpt certainly wouldn’t take into account.

If you’d like help creating your own bespoke training programme, message me the word TRAINING and I’ll be happy to help 📝
