Stop Chasing Fitness Trends

Ello,

Let me hit you with a reality check: fitness follows trends.

👉️ One year it’s protein makes you bulky, the next it’s eat 2g of protein per kg body weight or you’ll shrivel up

👉️ One year it’s cardio kills gains, the next it’s you’re not fit if you’re not running ultras

👉️ One year sugar is the devil, the next we’re chucking it into “healthy” electrolyte gels like it’s going out of style

It’s all been demonised. And it’s all been worshipped

And honestly? None of it matters if you don’t have the fundamentals nailed

Supplements Are the Perfect Example

Let me take you back to 2017

L-Glutamine, L-Citrulline, Creatine, Glucosamine, Beta Alanine, L-Arginine, Taurine…you name it, I had it — I couldn’t even tell you what half of them did 😂

I was spending stupid money on tiny, marginal gains (that’s if they even made a difference at all)

Why did I take them? Because everyone else was 🤦‍♂️ 

What Actually Works?

Look, I’m not saying supplements are useless. There are a few staples worth your time (we’ve talked about those before). But the real gains don’t come from powders, pills, or whatever new training style influencers are hyping this year

I’ve followed all the trends over the years. Every marathon fad, every supplement hype, every random training split people swore by

And guess what? I still made progress. Not because of the trends themselves, but because I had the fundamentals locked in

What works is boring stuff:

• 🛌 Sleeping well

• 🥩 Hitting your protein target

• ⚖️ Hitting your calorie target

• 🏋🏻‍♀️ Training to failure

• 🏋🏻‍♀️ Progressively overloading your lifts

• 🍎 Eating plenty of fruit and veg

• 🍕 Going out for a pizza with your mates without guilt

Nothing sexy, no magic shortcuts. But THIS is what will get you results

The Bottom Line

There’s no magic greens powder or supplement that’s going to make this easy

If there was, everyone would be walking around with 6-packs and obesity wouldn’t exist

The only things you really need are a solid training programme, and healthy habits

And if you’re struggling to lock in those core habits? That’s where coaching makes the difference:

• it speeds up the process

• helps you focus on what actually works

• and gives you the structure to make progress every week

So if that sounds up your street, get in touch here to discuss what a training programme to hit your goals this year should look like

P.S Check out Josh’s progress with coaching 🔥🔥 

Josh has nailed the initial 2 phases of our coaching together 💪

Phase 1: Learn to train properly, intensely, and with good technique

Phase 2: The diet & reverse diet. We had a slow progressive calorie deficit and slow but progressive increase to his cardio. Super simple, but by no means easy but he smashed it, 9 kilos down total

We’re now in the process of slowly reducing cardio, slowly increasing calories, and Josh is getting leaner AND stronger 🔥
