May Re-cap ⏪️
Family, fitness and food.
Summer is on the way, the longer days are here and I'm feeling more positive, motivated and energised.
Running is getting back on track, training is going well, and there's finally more time for getting outdoors and making the most of it 🙌
A month full of good people, good food, fresh air and plenty of movement. Here's to more of the same in June 👌☀️

Weekend in the Lake District ⛰️
Had an amazing weekend in Keswick with my wife and in-laws. First time for me in the Lakes and also the first time we’ve left the kids for longer than a night 😅
Lots of walking, lots of food, and I would say lots of alcohol… although these days I can only manage one night on the beer 🍻
Was good to finally spend some proper time together. Life usually feels non-stop and revolves around the kids, work, and everything else in between. Finding the time isn’t always easy, but it’s important ❤️
Making memories, switching off for a few days, and appreciating the simple things with good people. Exactly what we needed.

“Is it right that you haven't put me on a bro split?” 👀
A client asked me this yesterday after I gave them their programme, which had a more varied split throughout the week.
The truth is, there’s no single “best” training split. The best programme is the one that fits your goals, recovery, schedule, experience level, and allows you to progress consistently.
For most people, training muscle groups more frequently throughout the week tends to work better than smashing one body part once every 7 days and then spending half the week sore.
A more varied split can help with:
✅ Better recovery management
✅ Higher training frequency
✅ More opportunities to practice lifts
✅ Improved overall performance
✅ Keeping training more enjoyable and sustainable
Bro splits still have their place, especially for advanced bodybuilders training with very high volume, but for a lot of people they simply aren’t the most practical or effective option.
Personally, this is the way I’ve trained for a long time and what I’ve always gravitated back towards. I enjoy the variety, I recover better, and I feel like I perform far better training this way 💪

Been a bit quiet with posting recently but I’ve got a few things in the pipeline.
For now, here’s some of mine and my clients’ progress from the last month.
Despite a few setbacks on my side, it’s been about staying consistent, adapting where needed, and still making progress in other areas. Which is exactly what I expect from my clients too.
If you’re thinking about getting started, or getting back on track, now’s as good a time as any with summer fast approaching ☀️
Drop me a message and let’s get to work.
