Why Training Lighter Makes You Stronger

When the general population thinks about strength training, the same image will likely come to mind: An athlete with a ridiculously heavy weight on their back, red-faced, grunting and grinding out a very slow difficult rep (or two). However, that image represents a very small percentage of the actual training that causes strength gain. …

Why do haters hate?

"Tuna salad again?! Don't you get bored? I'll never understand you fitness freaks, just eat some cake"

Damn. I thought. I'm just eating my lunch.

^^ this is an all too familiar scenario when you're dieting

People feel an innate NEED to comment on your life

Especially when you're trying to eat clean

Suddenly you become a fitness FREAK!

for some reason, people can freely comment about what you eat, how you train or how 'realistic' your goals are.


WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS


PEOPLE HATE BECAUSE YOUR POSITIVE ACTION HIGHLIGHTS A DEFICIENCY IN THEIR LIFE


PEOPLE HATE YOUR SUCCESS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRIED AND FAILED


HATE AND CRITICISM TURNS INTO ADMIRATION (THEY WILL ASK YOU FOR HELP SOON!)


EVERY GREAT CHANGE IN THE WORLD HAS FIRST RECEIVED NEGATIVITY (for example, Martin Luther King Jr and the Black Civil Rights Movement)

Get Your Focus Back

So last Sunday I had a very strange feeling...

I felt sad

Honestly I don't really know why

Years ago I used to work in a bank

I hated it

And every Sunday I'd get that 'back to work ' feeling

Which, let's face it, is basically sadness.

But right now I love what I do

yet I had that same 'sunday sadness' feeling

So I wasn't sure why I felt sad and de-motivated.

there was no reason to be sad!

...then it HIT me like a ton of bricks...

There is no PLAN B...

The problem?

I never got better at anything.

BUT

When I switched from a fleeting focus

To an ABSOLUTE LASER-GUIDED focus on ONE goal

Then I transformed myself

How can you do this with your own goals?

Well, imagine how your body could change with just 6-12 months of clean eating and intense training.

6-12 months of sticking to the basics. Eating healthy stuff. Showing up to the gym when you can’t be arsed.

6-12 months of …<READ MORE>..

INSTANTLY switch to a Positive Mindset with this trick….

Ever been mad at someone then they made you laugh?


You gotta really try to stay mad in these cases! haha


This is an example of your mood state changing.


Perhaps you had a good reason to be upset, but once your STATE changed, you smiled.


The cool thing is you can harness this 'mood switch' to get in better shape.


You choose your mood. Therefore you choose your mindset.

Forget What You Think is Possible

For every ONE ripped, lean 'selfie' pic I see online...

...I know there are thousands of people who are nowhere near that state of physical perfection

Many people are annoyed, frustrated and ready to give up on 'dieting' and going to the gym

Maybe you feel like that today.

But know this

When you are trying to change yourself you must suspend disbelief

Literally FORGET what you THINK is possible

cos that's likely holding you back right now

Remember the FACT that humans can look amazing naked

You are a human, right?

Stop trying to get just 50% of the way to your goal, get 100%

Stop shrinking your goals, make them BIGGER

Why Some People NEVER Lose Weight

90% of people fail on a summer body transformation when they go it alone
Of those 10% who are deemed successful

'THE Important TWO'

(OK, that name needs some work but stay with me)

What are the 'important TWO' I hear you ask?

Let me tell you my lovely friend...

6 Steps to Change your Life

There’s good evidence that you’ll fall back to the level of your identity.

This happens all the time with lottery winners who were previously poor. They blow all the money and end up poor again.

They never identified as rich people.

You have to identify (live as, feel like, look like etc.) the PERSON YOU WANT TO BE! 

Otherwise you are just acting and it’s only a matter of time before the old you, the old demons, grab you and take you back to your own personal hell (piling the weight back on, skipping the gym, binge eating on Wednesdays etc.)

here's my 6 best ways to Identify as a healthy person:
