Team Anvil

Luke decided I wasn’t enough of a coach for him.

For about a month or two and then he came back.

Ryan wanted to make him ring the shame bell but I was feeling magnanimous and I was like “Nah its cool, we will just never let him live it down.”

He left me for another coach 😱

And that happens its totally fine but he came back.

I wondered why? So I asked him?

His reply, “I realised for about 3 weeks I had maybe made a bit of a mistake. I wasn't getting the level of support I was getting with you. I actually felt you gave a s**t about me. And i did’t get my first programme for like two weeks after I started paying him. And you know the worst part. It looked like a cookie cutter programme.”

I am sure he was just buttering me up.

But he had a point in this.

I give a f**k about my clients, i really do.

I will bend over backwards to help them out.

I will take an interest in them and not just their training. I am there when they are struggling as well as when they are succeeding.

I will help them through the tough times even if it’s just an ear to listen to them to let them call their work colleagues c***s, (Not Luke, another client 😂)

That's why Luke, Stuart, Georgie and Craig all came back to work with him.

So if you need a coach who will care about you. One who won’t drop you like a gym bros leg day. All you need to do is reach out.

Make this the last year of not getting what you want and let me help out achieve something great together.

As a team.

Wee uodate on the hobby front

We wrapped up the space wolf project and moved onto

Project Gearheads 🤣

There is a point to this.

Hobbies and things to you occupy your time are a must for a your progress.

They help me when i am struggling with temptations because it occupies my mind.

I get totally absorbed in the process and when you're struggling thats key.

You can also benefit from this. Find something to occupy the free time.

It will help with whatever your goal it.

If i was to wake up 14 years ago and could relive my strongman life what would I do instead?

Probably first would be jumping out my bed like the spring chicken I was back in the day 🤣

But there are a few things I would really want to do better.

Ask questions. Ignorance is not bliss and what you don't know will cause you to lose points.

More warm ups. I could get away with it when I was younger but I know I should have done more.

More toilet paper. Ever been in a gym thats ran out of paper. I have it wasn't fun but I was thankful for my emergency toilet rolls.

Learning is life. You are there to learn things. Winning is good but learning is better.

Have fun. See if you aren't enjoying it thats a problem. You are there to have fun. Its suppose to be fun.

If you were to start over again. What would you change?

Hobbies.

Brilliant things. 

Something you can properly sink your teeth into and help you achieve your goals. 

But we always seem to f**k them off eventually.

Its usually when we spend less time as ourselves.

I think they are a must because I would not have achieved half my weight loss without my hobbies.

They helped me relax when I was stressed.

Kept me occupied when I was hungry.

Let me be proud of finishing something.

Dozens of other things on top but the important thing is it was a focus around me.

A couple of hours in the evening everyday I can made a world of difference to my mental health and goals.

I always suggest to my clients to find a new hobby.

Its all about putting you first. 

Like you should be in your own life.
