STOP COMPARING ❌📲
-
One of the biggest mistakes you can make, whether you’re a first timer or seasoned competitor is spending your life scrolling through Instagram comparing yourself to previous class winners, other athletes documenting their preps or overall winners posing routines
-
There are certain things on show day you can’t control. One of which is who turns up! You could be in a class of 6 with 5 absolute monsters or you could be the only person in your class. You can’t control this outcome, don’t stress over it, it will increase your stress and impact your own look!
-
What you can control is:
✅ - Being in condition
✅ - Posing and stage presence
✅ - Being ready early
-
Focus on yourself. Stay off Instagram!

TRUST THE PROCESS (and don’t panic)🤌📈
-
Prep will mess with your head. It’s inevitable. You will see things without being able to be fully rational regarding the situation - which is only going to have a negative impact on the look itself.
-
Morning check ins, realistically, are going to be the worst you’ll look all day as you get to the later stages of the diet. No food, no water, your flat, feeling small and can leave you overthinking how ready you are. Without being able to be rational and see the bigger picture, this can quite easily send someone into panic mode.
-
There’s a whopping 33 hours between these two shots. 12 and 11 days out from show day number two last year. No high days or increase in food, just the usual training and rest day meals that were implemented throughout the whole prep.
-
The difference? 3 meals (one with zero carbs), sodium and WATER. With a vastly improved look from the previous morning.
-
The message: Don’t over analyse. Don’t compare yourself to others. Don’t panic. Crack on and do the work. Trust the process (and your coach)

AUG➡️MAR😮💨📉
-
I started working with Claire just under 3 years ago (which is crazy enough in itself!) with PT sessions and continued consistently ever since!
-
In August last year Claire was in a little bit of a rut. Progress had stagnated but she still wanted more. We moved from Personal Training to Hybrid Coaching to allow for a higher level of detail and insight to benefit Claire’s progress
-
8 months later, and just under 10kg pulled off, Claire’s results speak for themself! Such a hard worker that executes the plan perfectly week on week!
-
For context, Claire’s ‘before’ photo from August last year was 38lbs down from her first session with me in June 2023! Incredible progress! Very proud of you .lloyd.0500
-
Time to relax with family for the next few weeks before getting straight back to work!

HOW TO T-BAR📈✅
-
Everyone’s favourite ‘grip and rip’ exercise but not one where form should be ignored completely!
-
1️⃣ - Get your brace right. One of the biggest limiting factors on this exercise is people’s ability to breathe throughout the set. Exhale sharply at the top and inhale shortly after as you begin the eccentric
2️⃣ - Keep your chest in contact with the pad. Now, for me there is wiggle room on this, if your chest lifts it isn’t the end of the world. As long as your erectors aren’t going the majority of the work a little movement is acceptable
3️⃣ - Drive with your elbows, not your hands. Keep them flared to keep the bias on your mid / upper back
4️⃣ - Control the eccentric, this can be an explosive movement so allow the eccentric to be slow to increase time under tension. Protract your scapula at the bottom for full ROM and repeat
5️⃣ - As always, train to failure!
