my weird trick of fitness....

I was walking through the park this morning

Coffee in hand

Sun a-blazing (weather's been awesome and makes you FEEL so much better, right?)

...then I saw them....

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.

Is there a life-force to Fitness?

Are the areas of mindset, nutrition and training linked?

I remember many times where my training and nutrition was perfect. Then knocked off track by a tiny detail.

For example, during my first year of university I was fixated on becoming a professional rugby player.

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.

Death of The Holiday Diet

I overheard something CRAZY yesterday

Yet thinking about it, it’s a phrase I hear ALL the damn time

Maybe you’ve even said it…..?

“I’m going on holiday in 6 weeks, better start going to the gym”

SH*T

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!

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...

"I don't feel like I'm making any progress"
