If your goals to gain muscle and tone up and your not seeing progress then your probably going through the motions. You should be working close to failure, aim for 1 to 2 reps in reserve meaning that if your rep target was 10 you’d get to 10 and with your best effort could really push for 1 to 2 more reps. Heres two tips to test your training intensity TIP 1, video your set. heres an Example - Lets say i’m aiming for 10 reps, you can see the weight is moving at a pretty quick tempo. The weight doesn’t slow at all through the full set, the 10th rep move’s at the same speed as the 1st and it’s clear to see i was capable of more. This set isn’t enough for me to make progress. TIP 2, work to technical failure and once you think you only have 1-2 reps in reserve and would think about stopping, push for more. Heres an example - Here you’ll see reps are moving comfortably, when i get to the point i thought i had two reps in reserve i signaled it, i pushed to see what more i could do and ended up getting 4 more. This allowed me to see i can push more than you think. This gives you a good gauge on how hard you need to push yourself (looking back i definitely had one more) If you are new and have mastered your technique, testing yourself and pushing to failure can give you a good indicator to develop training intensity.

This is my honest starting point to me sharing my own journey and showing more of my own goals This is the start of my fat loss phase up to my holiday and I will be documenting everything It’s something I’ve wanted to show for a while, but just like anyone else it’s easy to compare and have self doubt (which I speak about in the video) This is to hold myself accountable, but also to show what I do to lose fat and just be real with everyone along the way And just to be clear, I’m not saying I’m against performance enhancers (steroids) I’m simply just being open about what’s stopped me from using them in the past and my current position. Right fat boy, time to step it up and get to my ‘natural potential’ with health and my physique 🤝🏼

Beginner step by step to progress to a barbell squat 💪🏼

If you’re wanting to make a positive change and start the gym and get in a good routine with it, change the way you speak, maybe even change the people you are around. I am and I will! Not I might or I’ll try..

People think to change a behaviour you need to be motivated but that’s not how it works. Motivation doesn’t change behaviour - behaviour sustains motivation Sat around waiting for motivation to come so that you can go walking or to the gym doesn’t work, those actions are needed to drive motivation you start the behaviour because you know it’s needed regardless of how you feel As you go through the process you start to see and feel a change and feel more motivated - action = motivation. Obviously there’s an initial bit of motivation to make you think right, I’m going to change but that’s not enough to keep you showing up. It’s a mindset thats developed - Do it regardless of how you feel It can be hard to go at this alone feedback and accountability will help adherence at the start then you’ll develop self ownership and build trust in yourself which is important to show up long term Have 1-3 weekly actions that are non - negotionalble like 1. 15 minute walk every day 2. Committing to just 10 minutes of your workout 3x per week Save this video for later and when you feel a dip in motivation come back to this for a reminder - action = motivation 👊🏼 Are you struggling with motivation right now?

Building habits from day one ❤️

My thoughts too Ricky..

3 reasons to still eat foods you love while losing weight 🤤

Make fat loss easier and change your food environment We shouldn’t categorise foods good or bad Theres only good or bad diets - some foods have more nutrients than others You could lose weight eating only Cookies or McDonalds with a calorie controlled approach - but you’d most likely be starving and feel like sh*t Theres hyper palatable foods meaning they consist of combinations of fat, sugar, sodium and carbohydrates which give these foods a good taste andd make it easy to eat a lot of these The sorts where you are sat in shock at the guy drinking cm out of the bathtub on salt burn and when you finally snap back to reality you’ve eaten 2000 calories without even knowning Then questioning what actually goes on inside people heads … anyway back to the topic 😂 I’m not saying you need to cut these foods out because they can be good for long term diet adherence But just be mindful on the environment you are creating around you 1. Create a shopping list that consists of 80% nutritious whole foods and 20% foods you love 1. The calorie dense foods you’d buy look to swap for a lower calorie alternative Then when you are at home you are not surrounded by those packs of biscuits you tell yourself your just gonna have one and eat the full pack or that tub of ben and jerrys you plan to have a couple of scoops but before you know it demolished the full tub with half of it down your pjs top because once again you was traumatised by someone shagging a grave a tv and if you want my help with Losing fat and managing your mental health after salt burn, give me a follow

What’s your goals for 2024? Get more specific with it If you figure out why you actually want to do something there will be more of a driver behind it which will increase the likelihood of seeing that goal through! 😊

Here are a few words jess said on our recent call Heavier and so much happier When people say they want to lose weight it’s vary rarely about how much they actually weigh Stop putting all your focus on the scales You can weigh the same or be heavier and improve the way you look and feel Jess made so much progress from fuelling her body right and training to get stronger She’s gained so much strength and muscle and she’s heavier than she was before. You could be the same weight on the scale, but I guarantee that if you start to lift weights and gain strength you will feel better and see yourself in a different way 🤝🏼 Proud of how far you’ve come Jess, we continue to build 💪🏼🤝🏼

You know when you’ve got something in your head to say, but you just can’t get the words out? Todays one of those days 😫😂

Don’t worry about what a stranger in the gym might say to you Especially not if they have absolutely no idea about you or your lifestyle I’m all for listening to people’s opinions and taking things on board, but if someone comes up to you and tells you that you’re training wrong for training more than one body part together Tell them to f**k off, respectfully 😊 It might take some one a lot to step through those gym doors, never mind step out of their comfort zones and learn new stuff So making comments can really impact someone’s confidence Rather than looking for what you think people are doing wrong, maybe look for something they are doing right and compliment them.. Opinions are valid, but at least get to know and understand the person first

Motivation doesn’t just come, you need to take action. 1. Don’t wait for motivation, just start. Take the first step and once you start you’re more likely to feel motivated. 2. Control your mood the best you can, we have low mood and high mood days - get daylight - aim to get good quality sleep - listen to some good music - walk Do more of the things that make you feel good, when you feel good you’ll feel more motivated 3. Take consistent action regardless of how you feel. Days / weeks you don’t feel motivated set minimum targets. - rather than training for 1 hour plus aim to do 15-20 mins - usually walk for an hour, walk for 5 minutes Show up regardless of how you feel and you’ll increase the likelyhood of feeling motivated. Action = motivation
