The fun part of training is simply trying to improve your performance on the same 10 exercises. If you try to make it entertaining by implementing a lot of exercise variety - that’s sub optimal training. How will you see yourself improve with exercises that you’re constantly changing up? Seeing progress is what makes training feel rewarding and consequently makes it addictive. Repetition ➡️ progression ➡️ consistency

If the root of your weight issue is self control - unfortunately, no coach can help you with that. Self control is a matter of discipline, and your discipline is in your hardwiring. Your ability to adhere to the process is a direct representation of how bothered you are about change.

Don’t view exercise as a hobby. If you manage to enjoy it, great. But even us gym enthusiasts have off-days/weeks/months. Motivation is unreliable. You need to view it as a non-negotiable part of your routine, just like brushing your teeth. Consistency is key. It’s important that you don’t train only when you feel like it. The beautiful part is that you’re always glad and proud that you’ve done it once you get it done.

You can’t hope to be the healthiest version of yourself if you’re vegetarian/vegan. There is NO substitution for meat. It’s deeper than just “proteins”. It’s; amino acids, healthy fats, micro nutrients, bioavailability
Avoiding meat is not better for the environment, more ethical, certainly not better for your health.
A singular cow could feed you for almost a year. Millions of insects, mice, rabbits, foxes are killed with the mass combine harvesting of crops.
So you may as well give your body what it’s craving.

Lifting straps are so unbelievably useful if used when necessary. But the problem we see is that many individuals use them when not necessary. This is down the fact that they’ve become trendy. It’s important to understand that it’s far more impressive to lift heavy weights WITHOUT them. They’re a reliance. Using them before completely necessary could result in your grip strength not improving as and when it should.
My personal opinion is that they should only be used for variations of deadlifts, and potentially some back movements - given you’re lifting heavy.
Ask yourself, do I NEED straps for this exercise? If not, DITCH

Argue with the wall.

Zone 1 & 2 cardio is great, so is zone 5. I’m NOT a fan of zone 3 & 4. The body responds well to low intensity, steady state cardio. It also responds well to high intensity training in short bursts (sprints). I’ve always been a (controversial) strong believer that endurance cardio does more harm than good. Particularly long distance running. Putting your body under stress for long periods is not ideal for your cardiovascular system, nor is it necessary. We’re still primal beings. Intuitively signalling to your body that you’re fleeing for half an hour plus is a great way to spike your stress hormones.

3 non negotiable supplements absolutely everyone should be taking:
- Vitamin D3 & K2, at least 4,000ius a day (general health, hormone support)
- Magnesium glycinate, at least 400mg of active magnesium 30 minutes before bed (supports sleep)
- Creatine monohydrate, at least 5g a day (supports cognition, improves muscular output)

You don’t have to go from eating like a sinner to eating like a saint in one day. I prefer a more realistic/sustainable approach by slowly dialling things in over a period of time. The beauty is that you’ll see the biggest changes at step one, grabbing the low hanging fruit. This might be; cutting back alcohol/sweet treats/refined carbs as much as possible. Or simply increasing your animal-based protein intake.
