Read MoreI'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:
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 MoreConditional happiness happens when you say things like:
"I'll be happy when I fit into my bikini"
"I'll be happy when I get a promotion"
"I'll be happy when I bench press 100kg"
The happiness is conditional on you achieving whatever's in your mind.
Therefore, and this is THE most important thing....
YOU ARE NOT HAPPY NOW.
Which is what I believe is the entire problem with the phrase:
"weight loss"
Read MoreEver 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 know the pain of being side-lined (as I write this is I am suffering from a shoulder injury.)
We have been breathing since we have been out of the womb. That's a lot of breathing..
"On average, a person at rest takes about 16 breaths per minute. This means we breathe about 960 breaths an hour, 23,040 breaths a day, 8,409,600 a year. Unless we get a lot of exercise. The person who lives to 80 will take about 672,768,000 breaths in a lifetime."
So it's fair to say we are experts on breathing right?
When you want something enough, you want to do it right, I often see people for who find their new journey in fitness has become their obsession. Whether their goal is taking them towards weight loss, muscle gain or strength they all look for expert advice to find the “optimal” and “quickest” route to success.
Read MoreI 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.
