When we look at fitness and training at RSG we always try to first look at the science behind any fact that is thrown our way. The problem with doing that nowadays is that everything can be very easily ‘backed up’ by science and sometimes looking at the “facts” just adds to the confusion.
The main issue is that anybody and everybody can voice their opinion and due to the digital world, we live in, we can all see it.
Read MoreThese two rules always hold true for 'success'
1) Do the right things
2) Stop doing stupid things
Whether success for you means sport, business, relationships, your job, lifting weights.
You can't violate these rules.
You can't work on the wrong things and let stupid things hold you back.
Example:
Read MoreIt 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.

You may think fat loss is hard to achieve?
Maybe you can’t improve on your pull-up strength?

ALL of those areas pale in comparison to building muscle.
Read MoreFLASHBACK!
I’m 15 years old
I just get Bruce Lee’s workout book in the post, called “The Art of Expressing the Human Body”
(Epic read by the way)
And I was on Summer hols, no rugby, no job, and I lived in the middle of the countryside and obviously couldn’t drive yet
So I had pretty much NO friends or social life either!
But I didn’t give a f*ck!
Read MoreThey say there are TWO starts to the year
Jan 1st
And September 1st
It’s when the schools go back to class, university starts, lots of sporting seasons fire up
So let’s use this as a re-set for the mind and body!
I don’t want you to be like most people from now on.
If you want a leaner, stronger body - will doing what you’ve done over the past 3 months get you there?
Only you know.
Read MoreOne benefit I've always had since starting out in fitness
Is that I've always trained the 'right' way
There's so much confusion about what the right way is in fitness
Because on the one hand; you've got scientists, coaches, athletes
....people who study and practice what GETS RESULTS
On the other hand; you've got entrepreneurs, businesspeople and salesmen
...people who study what MAKES MONEY
Read MoreSo there I was, grabbing my rolls of belly fat, staring at my body in the mirror....
....upset at my lack of 'sexy bod'. AGAIN.
After perhaps the most consistent 4 month training period of my life starting March this year
I'd built incredible strength levels, added 4kg of muscle, dieted down for a holiday this summer
Then I'm seemingly back at square one!
Read MoreOur goals always seem so distant, hidden at the end of a long road littered with pitfalls and points of failure with only a sparkly new pair of red running shoes to help us on our way.
Like Dorothy we start on this path alone staring across a strange land of fitness and nutrition unsure of just how long the road will be. Will it take a few days to see the number on the scales go down? Or will it take weeks or even months before you see progress?
