Today was my first posing lesson, and it definitely feels like another step closer to getting on stage. 💙
When you watch the pros, they make it look completely flawless, but the reality is there’s so much to think about. Every step, every turn, every pose... it all has to be practised.
I’ve come away feeling excited, but also realising just how much there is still to learn. It definitely isn’t easy, and posing is a lot harder than it looks!
One thing’s for sure... it’s going to take practice, practice, and more practice. 💪🏼
But that’s all part of the journey, and I’m looking forward to improving bit by bit and getting one step closer to that stage.
✨ Trust the process.

Sometimes you don’t need to take everything so seriously, you just need to have a bit of fun! 😅 This week’s challenge was the Dip Stability Challenge, and trust me, it was a lot harder than it looked 😂💪

4 months since my photoshoot and what a journey it’s been so far.
With roughly 3 months left of my building phase before heading into a 20-week prep for my very first bodybuilding show, I thought it was time for a little check-in.
Things I’ve learnt so far:
✅ My body genuinely appreciates more food. fuelling properly has been a game changer.
✅ Carbohydrates are not the enemy. In fact, they’re my best friend when it comes to training performance, recovery and growth.
✅ Intra-workout carbs have made a huge difference. Better energy, better pumps and better sessions.
✅ I’m now around 1 stone heavier than I was at my photoshoot. Learning to accept this new physique has probably been one of the biggest mental challenges. The lean photoshoot look isn’t sustainable year-round and growth requires change. Feeling a little uncomfortable in this phase is completely normal, and I’m learning to embrace it.
✅ Less cardio is always a winner. 😂
✅ Progress isn’t always visible week to week, but consistency wins over time.
✅ Building muscle requires a lot more patience than most people realise. The off-season is where the foundations are built.
✅ The scale going up isn’t something to fear. Sometimes it’s exactly what needs to happen to create the physique you want on stage.
The really exciting part starts next week as I move into the next phase of the journey.
✨ My first posing lesson is booked.
Time to start learning how to present all the hard work, get comfortable being uncomfortable, build confidence and learn what it takes to own the stage. Posing is an art in itself, and I’m excited to start developing that side of bodybuilding too.
This phase isn’t about being stage lean. It’s about building the physique that I’ll proudly bring to the stage next year.
For now it’s simple:
🍽️ Eat
🏋️ Train
😴 Recover
💪 Grow
🔁 Repeat
The goal hasn’t changed.
3 months of building left. 20 weeks of prep. One first-time competitor chasing a dream and trusting the process every step of the way. ❤️

The picture honestly says it all… but I need to say it anyway because Emma one of my team, took on the Rally du Canal du Midi — a 167km route from Toulouse to Bézier, rowed over 4 days, across 8 brutal stages, in 35+ degree heat, with crews from all over the world. She hadn’t rowed consistently in a boat for over two years… and still showed up with heart, grit, and determination.

What I’m most proud of is that she finished it. As Emma said “ I didn’t take the easier option — I finished it the hard way, the way I set out to.”. Not on the bike. Rowing — all the way over that finish line. There were moments she didn’t think she could carry on, moments where the pain and heat were overwhelming, but she refused to quit.

And behind this moment is months of smart, structured work.
We built her training plan around:
• Strength foundations to support endurance
• Upper‑body pull work to rebuild rowing confidence
• Gradual rowing reintroduction to protect her elbow
• Physio‑led rehab — taking on board specialist advice, stretches, mobility and rehab exercises
• Load management so she could progress without flare‑ups

She navigated injury. She listened to her body. She trusted the process. She stayed consistent even when it was hard. And absolutely smashed this challenge with confidence.💪

And here’s the part I want people to hear…
Coaching isn’t just about weight loss or muscle gain. It’s about helping someone step into challenges they once doubted they could do. It’s about rebuilding confidence, navigating injury, supporting resilience, and creating a plan that aligns with real‑life goals — not just aesthetic ones. It’s about seeing the human, not just the numbers.

Emma — your determination, your resilience, your humour, your willingness to do the work… it’s inspiring. You earned every single stroke of that finish line. So proud of you 💙

Sometimes you just got too Keep It Fun

Not everything needs to be serious — sometimes you’ve just got to try the random reel you saw on Instagram, laugh at yourself, and enjoy the moment.Do the silly thing. Have a laugh. That’s the good stuff.
And When It Comes to Training…
This is exactly why training with a friend can be a game changer.
It adds the fun back into your training.

• Shared energy — you feed off each other’s vibe
• Accountability — you’re less likely to bail when someone’s waiting
• Confidence — you try things you wouldn’t try alone
• More laughter — and laughter makes hard sessions feel lighter

Some days you need discipline.
Some days you need a mate who makes you laugh mid‑set.
Both count as progress.

Progressive overload = giving your body a slightly bigger challenge over time.
More weight, more reps, slower tempo, better form — small increases that create big results.

What it is
It’s the principle of gradually increasing training stress so your muscles adapt and grow.
Think of it as “doing a little more than last time.”

Benefits
• More strength — Your muscles get stronger because they’re forced to adapt.
• Better muscle tone — happens when you consistently challenge the muscle.
• Improved performance — Lifts feel smoother, more controlled, more powerful.
• Long‑term progress — You avoid plateaus and keep moving forward.

How you know it’s working
• You’re lifting heavier or doing more reps.
• Your form feels cleaner and more controlled.
• Your sessions feel challenging but achievable.
• You’re seeing changes in strength, shape, or confidence.

Small increases. Big results. That’s progressive overload.

Confidence Looks Different on Every Woman

Confidence isn’t just loud energy or big milestones.
Sometimes it’s subtle. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s you quietly choosing to back yourself in ways you never used to.

It shows up in so many different forms:

• Trying new exercises even when you’re convinced you’ll look silly
• Wearing clothes you wouldn’t usually because you’re finally allowing yourself to feel good
• Taking photos instead of hiding from the camera
• Showing up when you’re tired or overwhelmed
• Doing the work without needing validation
• Growing at your own pace instead of comparing your journey to someone else’s

Confidence isn’t one-size-fits-all.
It’s personal. It’s layered. It’s built through tiny moments where you choose courage over comfort.

Every time you do something you weren’t sure you could do, you collect evidence that you’re stronger, braver, and more capable than you thought.

Be proud of what you’ve achieved — truly proud.
Not just of the big wins, but of the quiet shifts:
The new exercise you tried.
The outfit you finally wore.
The photo you didn’t delete.
The moment you stopped hiding.

These things matter.
They’re signs you’re becoming the woman you’re working towards.

Confidence doesn’t come from waiting until you feel ready.
It comes from saying, “I’ll try anyway,” and proving to yourself that you can.

You’re doing better than you think.
And I’m proud of you.

It’s been a week, life has been very chaotic lots of plates spinning the summer holidays is always that little bit more challenging.

But we still got to make time. Giving yourself that time can make all the difference. Training isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline.

It’s the space where you remember you’re capable.
Where you breathe without being needed.
Where you build the strength that carries you through the rest of your week.

Your kids benefit from a mum who feels strong.
Your work benefits from a woman who feels grounded.
And you benefit from giving yourself the time you deserve.

Protect your training time.
It’s not taking away from your family — it’s investing in the woman who holds it all together.

Why do you curl under the pad on a glute drive?

That tiny “curl under” at the start isn’t just a fancy change— it’s what makes the movement feel better, hit harder, and stay consistent.

1️⃣ Better glute activation
Curling under puts your pelvis in a slight posterior tilt, which switches the glutes on before the rep even starts. More activation = more growth.

2️⃣ Less lower‑back involvement
Starting tucked locks your spine into a neutral position. This stops your lower back from arching and taking over — which is exactly why so many people feel lower‑back pain during hip thrusts or glute drives.
Set the pelvis first, and the glutes do the work instead of your spine.

3️⃣ Stronger, cleaner lockout
Curling under pre‑loads the glutes and gives you a smoother, more powerful drive into the top. Better tension, better control, better reps.

If you feel lower‑back pain doing glute drives…

Curling under before you extend can be a game‑changer.
It:
• puts your spine in a safer position
• reduces lumbar extension
• shifts the load back into your glutes
• keeps the movement controlled instead of “snappy”

Most people’s back pain comes from starting arched — this fixes it instantly.
