How to dive head 1st into Christmas……without feeling like you “fu**ed it”

Here is my plan now I love training and it’s my enjoyment

This is what I am doing for myself and my sanity

22nd is deload run before marathon 2hrs

23rd deadlift session

24th (off or bike session (45 mins)

25th light run very easy to get some fresh air that’s all it’s actually not on plan, before I am in all day eating and drinking

26th heavy clean session, hopefully nice walk with family (weather depending) 😂

27th rest

28th back to normality ready for marathon

Before anyone says anything

30 ish mins for yourself isn’t selfish how much time will you spend scrolling

Just I know this will make me feel great

And that’s what Xmas is about right

Now I would also say

99.9% of people will not do any damage over Xmas

So give yourself a break

Don’t beast yourself for enjoying family time

Be grateful

So as it stands your all adults, your going to do what you want anyway

Don’t let other “expectations” of what Christmas should look like

Effect yours

Because nobody should leave there year feeling like they fu**ed it

In my opinion

Cue the wrecking ball 😮😮😮

To start performing at another level be prepared to full destroy what you have built

And this is what’s about to happen

I built a business that yes had my name in and it’s time to come to an end

As you can imagine Pritch fit didn’t take a lot of time to create

But the evolution of this is coming building a new vision, brand identity and values

All based around getting people to perform like a savage in life, for themselves, their family

Start pushing limits with there body

And as a bi product take there body in any direction they want to

Physically, mentally and achieve some epic s**t

So if you thought Dave you been quite

This is why

I wanted to dial in my message

So it was fully clear on what we want to put out there

So a massive thank you to everyone that has supported me but this evolution will see some big upgrades

And I never forget who supported me

So thank you to everyone 🙏🙏🙏

Honestly you couldn’t right this one ….

So take kids too see Santa both throw up

Mason as we go into see him, my stomach hurts 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Then oh I feel fine now

Too get them all home Freya falls asleep in the car

I carry her in to

🤮🤮🤮🤮 all down my back

But on the bright side the kids seen Santa and then, we had a nice day out

Oh and the funniest bit scan this QR code for your family pic it’s lovely

Wasn’t even our family 😂😂

Some day luck ain’t on your side

Take these 5 tips to smash any gym session…. Think united need these after crashing out of Europe

Some might be very obvious but highly forgotten

So follow along

1️⃣ Be clear on what your going to do (plan), allocate time needed and also minimise dust

2️⃣ Fuel in a world of zero carbs and fasting under fuelled workouts happen so much so make sure you are
✅ hydrated
✅ got enough energy in you (food)
❌ And not just relying on stims (caffeine) to get you through

3️⃣ Be ok with resting when needed 🙏 when ill, run down and ultimately when you need a de load

4️⃣ Bye bye ego, hard to do but follow a plan properly or as close as possible don’t be scared to ask for help

( Dave take own advice here )

5️⃣ Enjoy process, set some big fu***ng goals and chase them down

Reach for the stars mate, because I am telling you!! You really don’t know what’s possible until you try

Some days will be hard and s**t but doing the work will lead to a bigger payoff that anything you can physically buy

A bigger high

And we are all just chasing that at the end of the day

Trigger warning…….. This will p**s a few people off

Strength and conditioning isn’t random exercises performed with s**t form and with no logic why they are paired together

There needs to be a logically reason in a plan to put something in

Not because “it looks cool” or “seen it on instagram”

Especially when forming out the ££££ for it

And the worst is s**t form showcased and put on internet

Drives me mental

Put the phone down and help perfect you clients movement pattern to keep them injury free

Also while we are at it “come on” “go faster” isn’t helpful advice

My 7year old son could do that

So why you so triggered Dave ?

Simple

If your don’t take the few mins to help someone actually build good form, that’s not coaching

True coaching isn’t beasting someone until they can’t breathe

Sometimes it’s slowing them down to speed them up in time

Maybe working a lil more on mobility than just go go go

Being a good coach is giving someone what is needed long term and actually caring

Not just starving them down, hammering them beyond there actually current ability

So if you are looking at coaches to help you on your journey

Just because there bio says S&C coach actually do some research into them

Are they nice and caring towards clients?

Do people respect them ?

Are they cheap ?

Would you trust them with your most valuable assets ? because your health is in there hands

They beast you to an injury

Your potentially injured missing quality time with family

Work

Holidays

Your also off training yourself

Even those nights out

So shop wisely and don’t be afraid to ask the question as to why they are doing this?

Sorry for the bite but every now and again you see and here some daft s**t 💩

Let’s go !!!

So I have a list of ideas 💡 that I hand on heart believe most people could achieve

With a solid mindset and training

Why ?

Because I have helped people achieve them

Hyrox - an event that includes 1km runs, with stations between

Sled, row, lunges, farmers carries 8 runs 8 events done in teams or as an individual

Fitness comp CrossFit style, not as focused on “running” but different standards and some comps have different skill levels

I believe most people could get into shape to attack 1

Sports returns to footy, rugby or anything but get in great shape so you’re not blowing out your hoop

And stay injury free

Distance events - Triathlon, runs, bikes, swims, 3 peaks, 1st snowdon walk you name it from a 5km to iron man’s

Mud runs these are pure fun, great atmosphere and most people can do the minimum distance

And a few can cover the half marathon distance ones too

It can be done with your head in the game

It’s achievable

Finally this is my biggest motivator

Your kids, do you have what it takes to really keep pushing your kids

Father Time is on there side but you can fight them off with a fit body, mindset and ultimately

Push your kids

And before some PC parent says it’s the taking part that counts

Mason is already faster than his mum he has some work before he can beat Daddy

And I know a ton of lads with the same mindset

So create a bucket list of achievements

Had an amazing chat with a new client last night building out this

Nothing is stopping you

So don’t just step into 2024 with the normal idea

“I want to get in shape” because that doesn’t work 90% of the time

Build out the why you want to do it then you will achieve it

Let me know what your goals are looking like in 2024 ?

This the season too buy s**t not needed

I bet you agree

Last night me and Bev were adding stuff to a basket in prep for Xmas shopping

Then I had a look and thought that is just s**t

Kids don’t need that at all

Same goes for us too

We just said is there anything we actually need

While it’s nice to open a few things on Xmas day

Pointless gifts are basically pointless

I am giving away something for Black Friday

It’s 100% genuine 2 free weeks during the Xmas window

Did this last year and main reason is

I know people believe that if they signed up now there wasting there time because they will fall off over Xmas

So if your ready to go and don’t want to use excuses to take your health and fitness seriously

Then this is for you

Exact same service just 14 days free

As you can imagine this works out great for me too

Because I know people signing up in this window take themselves seriously

They respect themself enough too not wait and be part of the new year new me tribe

And the fully well know that in order to have an amazing 2024 waiting too weeks is only going to hold them back

So if your ready

DM “Black Friday” and let’s go

Midweek re cap

So knocked out most of the big rides

sent me sick, can’t handle simulator rides

Tron and guardians were amazing,

Freya dressed up as a princess

And in Halloween Mason got more enough chocolate to feed his whole school

Officially sick of crap food, so pretty much back to normal eating

Orange chicken and rice is amazing 🤩

Here we go long time coming

Lil break to with family

We achieved exactly what he wanted

On day one believe it or not we upped Adams calories

Why ?

Because it was needed so we could tap into his training potential, also give him energy he needed to get himself in shape

Then he dropped 20 lbs

All because the plan was dialed in to him

It was what he needed

He has become a genuine friend hopefully 1 day he can convert me to Guinness 😂

But so happy we managed to elevate his confidence get him healthier, fitter and stronger well done mate

90 days from now we’re will you be ?

Part of the fads “new year new me”

Or one of the ones who takes looking after themselves seriously?

I will just start in the new years means

Your get less fitter and uninspired ❌

You maybe put on a few extra kgs, slowing down progress on Jan ❌

You put this huge thing on, something that is just the way we all should really live our life’s

For real success this is what you want to do

Start now !!!

Be fine with meals out, nights out, dropping the ball now and again

And get ready to look at the bigger picture

If we look back 5 years ago today I was happy healthy and in Mexico about to get married

Fast forward 1 year bed bound brace on my leg and walking around gym on crutches

Don’t take today for granted get ready to lean into you health

Sack off this diet starts “ then bo****ks and transform your life !!

Only as good as your word so

Up to Scotland with my Coaches this week, massive thank you


To then find 2 trains cancelled, An overbooked plan to be left in Edinburgh airport

I Made a promise to Mason Thursday night when I tucked him in

Yes I will be home for your game game on Sunday mate “ I Promise “

So I had to get home rather than just book a hotel and go home next day

Meet up with some other coaches and have a few beers instead I rented a car and drove home 5 hours just to follow through

Family is one of my biggest values, the biggest so had to make sure I was back

While I know people would understand, sometimes just make s**t happen and follow through with what you committed to
