Putting in more effort doesn't always mean you're going to get better results
For years, I was doing what I thought I needed to do to get in shape
I was training 6–7 days a week, sometimes twice a day
I was meal prepping
I was eating chicken, broccoli and rice
I was taking every supplement I could find
I certainly wasn't lacking effort
But I wasn't getting the results that effort should have been producing
Then I hired a coach
In my first 12 weeks of working with someone who actually knew what they were doing and could tailor the plan specifically to me, I made more progress than I had in the previous 12 years
And the impact wasn't just physical
As my physique improved, so did my confidence, energy and the way I carried myself
That ultimately contributed to me putting myself forward for opportunities at work that previously might have felt out of reach
I eventually left my finance career behind, but the lesson has stayed with me throughout my coaching career
I see the same thing with clients
They're already training
They're already making time
They're already putting in the effort
The problem isn't necessarily that they need to work harder
They need the right plan, properly directed training, progression, accountability and nutrition that actually supports what they're trying to achieve
When you finally start getting rewarded for the effort you're already putting in, the impact can extend far beyond your physique
If you're putting in plenty of effort but aren't seeing the results you believe you should be getting, this video is for you
More effort isn't always the answer
Sometimes you just need better direction

You’re putting in the work
You’re getting to the gym regularly, trying to eat reasonably well and doing your best to look after yourself
But the physique you see in the mirror still doesn’t seem to reflect the effort you’re putting in
The problem probably isn’t that you need to work harder
It’s that the work you’re doing isn’t working as effectively as it could
In this video, I break down 5 of the biggest reasons you can be training consistently without seeing the physique changes you want
Your training doesn’t have a clear purpose – you’re doing plenty, but without a clear strategy
You’re not training as hard as you think – there’s a difference between completing your sets and providing enough stimulus to actually create change
You’re guessing at your progress – without tracking performance, it’s difficult to know whether you’re genuinely progressing
Your diet isn’t supporting your training – you can’t out-train a diet that consistently works against your goal
You’re trying to solve everything yourself – being capable and successful in other areas of life doesn’t mean you have to figure your physique out alone
You probably don't need another programme, another supplement or another 6-day training split
You need a clear strategy, consistent execution and a way of knowing whether what you're doing is actually working
Because training harder isn't always the answer
Making the work you’re already doing actually work is

Changing your training programme every few weeks could be one of the biggest reasons you're not making the progress you want
If you're training 3–4+ times per week, eating reasonably well and putting in plenty of effort, but your physique still isn't reflecting that effort, constantly changing your approach could be the problem
In this video, I explain why your physique needs the same thing a successful business does - a clear strategy, consistency and enough time for that strategy to work
Rather than jumping between different training splits, exercises, rep ranges, diets and fitness trends, you need a personalised plan built around where you are now, where you want to get to, and the steps required to get there
The strategy shouldn't constantly change. Your execution should improve

I’m going to tell you the exact process I take my new clientsthrough when it comes to food
And where many coaches go wrong
What a lot of coaches will do is simply chuck aset of numbers at you
Calories
Protein
Maybe carbs & fats as well
But
Here’s the problem
If you’ve never tracked a single thing in yourlife…
Suddenly getting this set of figures is prettydaunting
You’ve no idea where to begin
How to meet the targets
You try to change your entire diet
And you get really overwhelmed
I used to do that, too, by the way, so I knowfirsthand that it can be a bit much
Instead
This is what I do now
And what I believe works way better
The very first thing I’ll ask a new client to dois…
Track everything they eat & drink for a week
Simply track it
As best they can
Why?
Because that will actually show me (& them)what they’re currently eating
How much
The calories and macros
The quality of food
And, for many, what they’re doing right now isn’tawful
From here we can fine tune
Rather than totally overhauling
