I promise I’ll have something more interesting than a gym selfie next time I decide to ramble on the internet.

Truth is, life’s been fairly boring lately, so this is about as exciting as my camera roll gets.

I’ve definitely been in a work state. Started a new job at Physio Performance, maintaining my online client base, finishing out a few courses, and prepping for my first powerlifting meet.

Working 6–12 and then 5–9 most days has meant some shocking sleep, little free time, and a fair few energy drinks.

The first few weeks were overwhelming. I’ve always been someone who overprescribes myself, take everything on, then figure it out later.

I don’t fully agree with the idea of burnout, but I definitely hit something of a wall lately. Most weekends spent in bed, lack of enjoyment in my hobbies. For the first time since I’ve started training, I’ve not wanted to go to the gym. Then a couple of weeks ago I picked up a back strain that had me 50/50 about even making the meet.

I remembered why I do this in the first place - because I genuinely love training and improving my own physique, and I want to do it with as little stress as possible. And if I don’t fill my own cup, I’m in no position to help others.

That’s what I’ve been up to lately. Finally at a point where I’ve settled into the routine and can start creating content again. It’s taken a bit to find balance, but I’m in a much better rhythm now - and honestly, I relate a lot more to people working long or brutal shifts than I ever did before. Got a few topics I’m actually excited to dive into this time around, instead of just repeating the same old stuff.

So keep an eye out as I’ll be getting back to consistent content from this week.

A year with and safe to say, we’ve rebuilt some serious size.

When I first started working with Shane, I’d just come off a bodybuilding show with a pretty bad shoulder injury… and a decent amount of size lost.

Which, in hindsight, actually put me in a prime spot to grow. And grow we did 👊🏻

Not gonna lie—the last couple months haven’t been the most locked-in. Life’s been a bit more social, less training oriented

But now…

Countdown’s officially on for my first powerlifting meet, which I’m aiming to tick off before year’s end.

So it's officially time to dial in

Training hard but not growing?
You’re not alone — but you might be wasting your time.

Most lifters hit a wall a couple years in... and stay stuck there.
No new tissue. No new PBs. Just going through the motions.

Here’s the truth:
If you’re not pushing harder, eating more, or evolving your plan — your body has zero reason to change.

But when we fix that?
Results come back FAST.
Muscle goes on. Strength climbs. You look different again.

If you’re done guessing and ready to grow like you actually mean it...

DM me ‘MUSCLE’ — I’ll map out the exact plan to break your plateau 💪🏻

Throwback to the chunky carrot-top Brock Lesnar era 🥕

Tbh, 2023/4 was a bit of a shambles for my own physique development. Ended the year with an injury that had me benched from proper upper-body sessions until June, and it took another six months to claw my way back to where I was.

This pic? That was me at my “peak bulk” during the bodybuilding days, tipping the scales at a solid 88kg just before prep. Not fat by any means, but definitely the heaviest I’ve been.

Fast forward to now, and we’re sitting at 84kg with 16 weeks of consistent training ahead before heading back to Amsterdam for a festival in May.

Been thinking about that 88kg a lot lately—it’s not just a number. It’s my marker for tangible progress. This time, the goal isn’t just to hit that weight again but to come back with better composition, more muscle, and less fluff.

After that? It’s full set for the comp in November.

Here’s to climbing back up and showing the chunky Brock Lesnar days how it’s done. 💪🏻

Sleep is such an underrated variable in the muscle building game...

As a natural there isn't much you can do to speed up the process.

But good sleep really is a game a changer we all access to

If there was a pill you could take that made you...

-More alert in your training sessions
-Better able to recover
-More able to deal with and/or put aside life stress and focus on the task at hand

We'd all be on it without a second thought

I get it it's not always easy to get enough sleep.

You have to prioritize it.

You can't fit as much relaxation time into the evening.

Sometimes work/life gets in the way

The good news is you don't need to have perfect sleep all the time to get the benefits

One bad night probably won't make much of a difference just like one good night doesn't have you feeling like superman.

We can always be better

And here are a couple of ways I've attempted to improve my sleep despite working a job that sometimes makes that quite difficult

If you’d like me to audit YOUR current sleep set-up and spot some easy fixes...

You guessed it just shoot me a message referencing this post and I’ll come back to you with the next steps 🤝🏻

It's been quite here these last few weeks...

The consequence of being busy is suddenly not having the same time to put in to making quality posts

I've been thinking a lot lately about what I do and how it might seem to other people

From the outside, life as a coach can seem quite uninteresting

I work, I train, keep a small social circle, have one or two outside interests and pretty much do the same thing everyday

It's repetitive, it's at times boring

But ultimately it's what it has to be to take me where I want to go

Anyone who's known me for a while could tell you I'm as stubborn as it gets

I decided I was going to be a pt/coach

Before I had even stepped foot in a gym

While doing a full time degree that had nothing to do with fitness

I knew I was doing my first show when I was 138lbs and looked pretty much like Cristian Bale in the machinist 😅

I just knew it was what I wanted so I found ways to plug the gaps

Admittedly it takes a lot to manifest a big change in yourself and it definitely accelerated things when I invested in coaches, business mentors and sought further education

But once you've transformed yourself once it gets so much easier to do the one

You stop seeing limits

Or giving a s**t what anyone else might think

And these last few weeks I've begun to envision what the next steps are for where I want to go and who I want to help

I'm now incredibly fortunate in the position where I have the resources available to get there.

I couldn't be more grateful to my clients and the people who have supported me to get to where I have

When I really think about my life that way it's not boring

It's pretty much exactly what I've wanted it to be or I wouldn't have made it that way

I have 5 COACHING SLOTS for those that want to achieve their own body transformation 🚨

Delivering high quality, standout results with my clients is my #1 priority

And I have 5 spaces for NEW clients who want to lose weight, build confidence, and feel
amazing in their own skin

This isn’t your typical weight loss programme, where you’ll be told to ban certain foods and then be told you’re “allowed” others.

I’m going to work closely alongside you, educating you, and guiding you to achieve life changing results, that you can KEEP for life, through our tailored coaching phases around nutrition, and exercise.

And find what you can stick to long term, without feeling constant restriction or craving certain foods.

We have 5 slots for people wanting to:

-Lose between 5-10 KG in the next 3-6 months

-Become more body confident

-Learn how to manage social occasions while still losing weight

-Be held accountable daily, so you can’t fail

However, this is NOT for those:

-Wanting a quick fix

-Not happy to follow daily tasks

-Don’t want to take their own results seriously

However, if you are finally ready to make the commitment, and invest into achieving the results you’ve always wanted, and make the rest of 2021 about YOU becoming the most confident, fulfilled, motivated, and energised version of yourself

Now is as good of a time as any to get involved 😎

SWIPE FOR RESULTS>>>>>>

Same Body weight, Different man 🫡

When someone comes to you in the position Kev did it can pose a challenge

Kev was already quite lean

He didn’t have a tonne of bodyfat to peel off

In order to see a change in his physique he needed to add significant muscle mass to his frame

And building muscle as a natural is a LONG process

It requires discipline, consistency and an ability to keep pushing without seeing immediate results

It would have been easy for Kevin to give up when he didn’t see an immediate change

But he…

-stuck to the plan

-Almost never missed a session

-Matched his nutrition to his goal

-Got his check ins done

And now after an extended bulk and a few weeks of prep

He’s starting to see the fruits of that labor 😎

There’s no denying that this is a different version of Kevin than the one that first came to me in the gym

And I couldn’t be happier with the result we’ve achieved

And with another 11 weeks to go before his photoshoot

The best is still very much, yet to come…

The cool thing about Kevin is that he didn’t have it all figured out

He doesn’t have ‘lucky’ genetics...

But he DID have a great work ethic and willingness to change.

So long as you can match that? Zero reason you can’t achieve the same result

Want to see how I could tailor the exact process to YOU? DM me ‘RESULTS’ and I’ll take care of the rest

"Everyone around me has noticed a difference"

Ever felt like you're treading water with your weight loss?

Putting in some effort but not going anywhere?

This is where was before working with me

And I get it...

Losing weight and getting in shape is hard

With no direction to follow 🤝🏻
No real guidance to know what to do. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Trying to cut out the s**t online 🌐

There's no surprise why Sabrina felt lost where to start

Coupled with feeling demotivated with her lack of progress, it's clear why Sabrina was struggling

However since joining 1:1 Coaching and working closely with me in just 3 months Sabrina has:

Dropped over a stone in weight 💪🏻
Gained a tonne of confidence on the gym floor 🫡
Seen a big difference to the way she looks

And the BIG thing? It's not unstainable (She's kept it up for 4 months) 👐🏻

She's managed around holidays, concerts and meals out ⚖️

Simply put we've built her a health and fitness lifestyle, she can continue for life

So the weight she's lost never comes back on ❌

Want my help, to leave you looking and feeling amazing this summer? 🏝️

Let's put the failed attempts behind us .

Drop me a DM with the word "COACHING". And I'll be in touch 🫡

Something I've noticed lately is I tend to avoid talking about why I actually care about my physique and training

The truth is for a long time I didn't care at all..

When I was younger I went about 6 years without a proper haircut. Never groomed myself or took care of the basics. Rarely did any type of exercise and my diet would consist of takeaways multiple times a week and whatever crap was laying around the house. I got high constantly, played video games all day and never applied myself in any meaningful way.

The gym and training was probably my first real obsession. An escape from reality and a person I didn't like. Once you make a big change in yourself you often overcorrect because you're afraid of regressing to who you used to be.

When I say obsession I mean I was obsessed.

I can confidently say there was a 2 year stretch where the only things I cared about were hitting my calories for the day and getting my training in. I knew I was going to step on stage years before I actually did. I had a chip on my shoulder and that's not always a bad thing if you channel it into the right areas.

The funny part is that by the time I got to my show it was almost an anticlimax. I now had other things in my life I cared about more than my physique.

I've carried this picture of what I'd consider to be my low point for years now. To me it serves as a reminder of who I was and how far I've come.

The gym and training was legitimately life-changing for me. If you are struggling with low self esteem or afraid to start. Just remember everyone starts somewhere.

We can't change where we are right now but we can control where we go from here...
