Hope everyone had a great week 💪🏻

You win some, you lose some

A new physique and lifestyle isn’t made overnight

Now I’m not saying it’s going to take you 114 weeks to reach your goal.

But thinking you can get away with 8 weeks of dieting when you’ve been out of shape for 8 years is stupidity.

The key is creating a lifestyle, not a short-cut for temporary success.

If you’re sick of yo-yoing, DM me the word CHANGE and I’ll send you the details about the programme 🫡

Training away from your usual gym?

This was me yesterday.

After finishing a meet up with Stu who’d just completed his fat loss journey (check out yesterdays post) I thought why not kill two birds with one stone and train at Body Tech Fitness

Now you may not relate to that, but I bet you travel around the country or abroad from time to time or just fancy training somewhere differently to switch things up.

When this happens, what do you do?

You either get overwhelmed and play it safe with whatever’s available.

Or you get super excited and try some new toys.

Both of which are wrong.

Wherever you’re training, your priority should be keeping the stimulus as close to your usual training plan.

Same order, same patterns of movement so you don’t lose momentum with your current plan and its movements.

You may not have your usual machines, but there’s nothing a cable, a dumbbell and a barbell can’t replace within your current programme.

The key isn’t perfection, it’s maintaining the momentum so you can keep progressing with your lifts. 🙂‍↕️

I’m not a bodybuilder…

I train because…

It’s fun (when you know how to do it properly).

It builds muscle.

It drops body fat (faster metabolism).

Ps. You don’t even have to train 4 times a week.

70% of my clients only train 3 times a week and still drop over 10kg.

No, it’s not restrictive (it actually gives you more freedom to include foods you love within your calories).

No, it doesn’t take up time (takes 1 second to put down some scales).

No, you don’t have to do it forever.

Why every day?

Your body weight will fluctuate daily (meal timings, stress, water retention, the list goes on).

To understand your weight you must create an average across the week (add daily weigh-ins together, divide by number of weigh ins).

If you don’t weigh yourself, you’ll never know if you’re actually in a deficit to lose body fat.

Thermogenesis doesn’t care if you’re a dad who wants to get rid of the stubborn belly fat.

It still applies.

The key 👇🏻

Knowing how to be in a deficit, while living your life.

Things I’ve done throughout this diet:

✅ consumed alcohol

✅ gone on meals out

✅ travelled

✅ worked 10-12 hour days, for weeks
