3 Secrets to Dramatic & Lasting Body Transformations: PART THREE

This is a three part series to help men & women like you BREAKTHROUGH the barriers and myths of training, nutrition and mindset so you can create a DRAMATIC and LASTING body transformation.

This is really sad….

I’m afraid today I’m going to start off on a very serious note.

You would not believe the amount of emails I receive from people who are in a really bad way.

They don’t believe in themselves anymore.

They don’t have life goals.

Their life consists of work/sleep/work on a repetitive cycle with no end in sight - and they’ve settled for that.

The minimal free time they do have is jam-packed with doing things for OTHER people.

Taking the kids to kid stuff. Meeting up with family on the weekends.

So I got a confession to make....

I've started training hard (6 days per week) for muscle gain.

And the other day I found myself panicking about not being muscular enough.

Or more specifically, not gaining muscle FAST enough.

A lot of my clients have the same thoughts when it comes to fat loss....

Why can't this happen FASTER arghh??!!!

Anyway, fortunately I did two things to stop myself stressing and to stay focused.

Fitness is broken because...

....what if you can't see what you could become?

You will never achieve what you can't see and feel in your mind.

Going a step further, even if you've seen others achieve your goal and you know the path is there, you'll give up if you can't see the path and don't get guidance.

For example:

Imagine a client coming to me and saying they'd only like to lose 1 stone, or 'tone up' before their holiday.

Ok, but when I can see strength, muscle, endurance, reduced stress, a happier life AND 3-4 stone lost so they actually have a flat stomach and abs....

a silly story about getting in shape...

every year I CONVINCE myself that I'm 'not in too bad of a shape'

I'm confident about my body and always have been

But as those calendar days get crossed off...

....as my holiday gets closer and closer....

I start to doubt myself.

I look in the mirror and start pinching and grabbing my belly fat and love handles

I take 'before' pictures and set out a ridiculously low calorie diet for myself

I promise myself that 'just 4 weeks' of no cheat meals is doable

I commit to training 5 days a week for 4 weeks

and at the end of 4 weeks, you know what happens?

COACHES CORNER - Stop Dysfunction: Prevent Injury and Increase Performance by Warming Up Correctly

It was my first time playing for the seniors, I was 15 and knew nothing about anything, up until this point every game from warm up to cool down was run by a coach, I had never really thought about how or why I should warm up.

Anyway, I turned to the senior captain and asked what I should do to warm up, he replied “ah just summa deez and then we will be good to go” swinging his arms out and in a couple of times, touched the floor, shook out his legs and he was done.

How to Build More Muscle and Strength

Most people struggle with building muscle more than any other goal

You may think fat loss is hard to achieve?

Maybe you can’t improve on your pull-up strength?

Is your nutrition and meal prep overwhelming you and not getting done at the moment?

Well…

ALL of those areas pale in comparison to building muscle.

WHEN Should I See Progress?

I get this a lot, clients and friends who are on a new exercise regime approach me with a worried grin and say the exact same phrase, one filled with doubt and laced with the anxious tone of one who has lost their direction...
