Good leg session yesterday, definitely feeling it this morning, last year I managed to push to 320kg for 8 on the hip press, after being unwell last Christmas I have not been able to get back to that number yesterday I managed to get closer than anytime this year managing 300kg for 8.

I am spoilt for choice when it come to leg kit here at Zone but I seem to keep with the Rodger’s hip press as it suits my short ass legs much better than the standard leg press.

Most people who tell me they are training hard but not building muscle are not lazy. They are just missing a few boring but important basics.

They are doing a lot of work but not enough quality work. Too many sets with no real tension. Plenty of sweat but very little stimulus.

Protein intake is another big one. Not low overall but inconsistent. One good day followed by two poor ones does not cut it if muscle growth is the goal.

Then there is effort. If every set finishes with five reps left in the tank the body has no real reason to adapt. Training needs intent not just movement.

And finally progression. Showing up is great but if nothing changes week to week neither will your physique. Muscle is built by giving the body a reason to grow over time.

If this carousel hit close to home you do not need a new program or fancy supplements. You need structure clarity and consistency.

If you want help tightening this up drop me a message and lets have a chat about coaching...

Today’s Back workout went down well, managed to get a decent pump.

Was supposed to add arms on to the end but my shoulder gave out and as weird as it sounds training triceps is a no no once my shoulder goes.

14/09/2026

Short mix from today’s Chest and Tricep session things are getting better but still a struggle…

My strength has started to increase after I removed some of the junk sets that I was doing, I was doing those junk sets in a way of protecting my shoulder from lifting to heavy although in the end that approach was hindering me.

So I aim to do 2 workout sets, sometimes it is 3 but this is mainly down to not nailing down the weight I can lift.

Have you ever thought about how many junk sets you are doing? Let me know if the comments

A single day for a single body part is Unnecessary and counterproductive as a newbie to the gym.

If you're new to the gym, chances are you've been sold a routine that was never built for you. Split routines look impressive, but they're made for people with years of training under their belt, not week one.

Hit one bodypart with high volume every session as a beginner and you won't get overtrained, you'll get under-recovered. Progress stalls, fatigue builds, and you end up thinking discipline is the problem when the programme was never right for your stage in the first place.

Swipe through for what actually works instead. A full body split, the 6 exercises worth building around, and how to add volume without overwhelming yourself before you're ready for it.

Message me START and let's build you a plan that actually fits where you are.

After watching judging the MR & MISS DEVON 2026 - 📍Plymouth last night it got me reminiscing to my first show, way back in 1991 at the open English classic in Bournemouth, I entered the open class by mistake needless to say I came dead last but that was the start to an amazing journey.

Are you hungry, or just bored?

Be honest. Half the time we reach for food isn't because our body needs it. It's because we're stood in the kitchen with nothing to do, stressed after a long day, or just looking for something to break up the boredom.

Food gives you an instant hit. It's fast, it's always there, and it works in the moment. That's exactly why it becomes a habit that's hard to shake, not because you lack willpower, but because nobody ever taught you a better response to that feeling.

Swipe through for the cycle that keeps repeating, the questions to ask yourself before you reach for food, and what to do instead.

If this sounds familiar, drop a "ME" in the comments, I read every one.

And if boredom eating keeps knocking you off track, message me START and let's have a chat about it.

Most people think supplements are about shortcuts.

They are not.

They are there to support the work you are already doing in the gym, with your food, and with your habits.

With my clients I keep supplements simple and intentional.

The basics that support training performance, recovery, health, and long term progress.
Nothing fancy. Nothing extreme.

This carousel breaks down the essential supplements I use with most lifters I coach, especially busy adults who want to lose fat, build muscle, and still feel good doing it.

Supplements never replace consistency.

They just help you get more out of it.

If you want help simplifying what actually makes sense for you, that is something I do inside my coaching.

Not trained this week before today due to daddy duties, so I was looking forward to my Back and Chest workout today .

To make it even more special I got to wear my newly delivered bodybuilding division t shirt from with my good friend on the back of the shirt…..I would recommend it to anyone it is high quality, plus if you are vertical challenged like me it can double up as a dress 🤣

My training has raised a level of late as I have been able to push not only the weight but the intensity and because my shoulder is holding up much better, I have lowered my working sets to 2 or 3 on each exercise and it has made a real difference of late.

Workout was this:
Straight bar pulldowns 3 sets
Bench DB row 3 sets
HS Low Row 2 sets
Straight arm pulldowns (not shown) 2 sets

Panatta Flat Bench 3 sets
Prime Incline Press 2 sets
Prime Chest Fly 2 sets

Then finished the session with 30min on the bike…..

This is what I put a lot of my effort into these days.

I’ve coached for over 30 years and, for a big part of that, bodybuilding was my world. Contest prep, off-seasons, getting people on stage and everything that went with it.

Over the last 6–7 years though, my coaching has gradually moved away from bodybuilding and much more towards helping everyday people. I think the trendy name for it is “lifestyle coaching” 🤔😂

And I genuinely love it.

Over the last 12 months I’ve been lucky enough to be involved with the Transformation Membership at Zone Fitness Plymouth and Zone Fitness at Morgan’s, not only helping with the nutrition side of things, but also getting to do one of the parts of coaching I enjoy most — teaching and educating people.

Each month we run an education session covering a different subject around nutrition, training, health, habits and mindset.

For me, the important part isn’t just standing there telling people the obvious stuff they could find with a quick Google search.

It’s explaining why things work, cutting through some of the nonsense that surrounds nutrition and training, and then using real-world examples and over 30 years of experience to make it something people can actually understand and use.

We also run a practical training workshop every month, where we get onto the gym floor and look at exercise selection, machine setup, range of motion, technique and how to actually get more from your training.

That combination of coaching, teaching and practical application is probably the part of what I do now that I enjoy the most.

The Transformation Membership isn’t simply about being handed a nutrition plan and a training programme and being told, “off you go.”

I want people to understand what they’re doing and why they’re doing it.

Because ultimately, a good coach shouldn’t just tell you what to do.

They should help you get to the point where you understand enough to make better decisions for yourself.

The slides show what we’ve mapped out for the next 12 months.

Plenty for me to talk about then… 😂
