Win the DAY

Everyone has an end goal when they start their personal fitness journey. Whether this be to lose body fat, build muscle, lift a certain weight or run a marathon, it is important to have these goals as they provide us with a vision of what we want to achieve over a long period of time.

Fitness isn't that hard...

I'm fed of seeing people failing to follow through on their goals

Good people too

People who should know better.

People who claim they don't have time to make a meal plan

yet have seen EVERY damn episode of that Tom Hardy thing on BBC

What. The. Fuck.

I'll change your life right now:

Socks, details and success.

These 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.

EVERYDAY ATHLETE: Isn't it Obvious?

Ever had a conversation with some super clever?

One of those where you have no fucking idea what they are talking about..

...but you nod along and agree anyway!

Like, "hey Ant, what were you talking to Steve about?"

"I have no idea, but I didn't want to seem stupid by asking!"

Well, I'm worried that in fitness we are doing that every day to our clients.

EVERYDAY ATHLETE: Money vs Life

So I got fired up today because I am TIRED, so so tired, of people telling me that my gym is too expensive.

Indulge me as I rant about all aspects of money, life and achievement.

The DANGER Of Positive Thinking

I believe positive thinking is dangerous.

Let me explain…

If I always visualise a perfect fitness goal

Let’s say, achieving a HUGEEE male physique like Schwarzenegger…

6’4”

17 stone of pure muscle and 0% body fat

Then, this is dangerous for me to even contemplate

Because the reality is, I probably won’t achieve that.

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.

Obsession is Good for You!

FLASHBACK!

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!

And On The Seventh Day God said... "Sit Down And Rest Will You?!"

When approaching an exercise program we all come across problems of our own creation, often these are due to urban myths, bro science or simply a misunderstanding of how the body works and responds to exercise.

Think back to the last time you planned a new exercise regime, it may have been the first time back at it after a long period off or it could have been a plan to take the next step up in your training. I bet you went through and planned out each and every days exercise... Am I right?
