Improve your physique and happiness 
It’s that time of year again; everyone’s off to the beaches, seeking sun, food and sex. At least that’s what I’m currently doing, so, what better time to write about staying lean whilst on holiday? Also, just to clarify, whenever I say “stay lean”, this obviously applies to “not gaining too much fat”, as I […]
Most people aren’t going to debate whether or not the deadlift is a fantastic strength builder. It recruits more muscle fibers than just about any other exercise, and trains your body to work as a unit. This strength tends to carry over well into real-life functional strength, which of course is great for your health. […]
We all know the feeling. You’ve stalled with your weight loss, the scale refusing to budge, and you begin to lose hope. You’ve been working so hard, yet the hard work with your diet and training is no longer paying off. Why is fat loss so hard? How can I make it less brutal? Dieting […]
The mistakes I’m about to describe are very common. You see them everywhere, and actually, they’re so obvious you may be thinking “well duh”.

As it’s prime dieting season for most of us, I thought now is a good time to write a post on some of the best foods to consume when dieting. Of course, this is subjective, and is based on my personal experiences. And when I say “satiating”, I mean on calorie for calorie basis. We […]
This is a big, big problem for our society, and it’s growing. Obesity rates in the UK have increased by 12% since 1993, and 62% of men are now overweight. I’ve explained before how it is indeed a societal phenomenon, rather than a biological one. Yes, maintaining your health and appearance becomes harder as you […]
I get many guys asking me how they can overcome fat loss plateaus, or how they can start losing weight, both in person and online. In both cases, whatever they are doing isn’t currently working. Their diet has failed. “How do I break through my fat-loss plateau?” “How do I push past this sticking point?” […]
I’ve been reflecting recently on my past seven years in the fitness game, and I have loved it, don’t get me wrong. I’ve spoken before about the many benefits of fitness success that carry over into the rest of your life. However, I couldn’t help but notice that I have made a lot of mistakes. […]
I’ve been speaking to guys recently who have lost motivation with their work projects, goals and have lost their hunger for life in general. “Why do I not want to go to the gym anymore?” “Why do I struggle to get out of bed every morning?” Of course, I don’t always have the answers, and […]
