Last week I confessed to a friend I get shredded, partly, to win the approval of others. This isn’t my whole reason, but it plays a part. Other reasons are to: Maintain my PT business and social media (my main reasons); Support my health (people will debate this);  Acquire a sense of achievement; and  Crazily enough, to help keep me focused and disciplined. I believe this is the same for most other people as well. Yes, they’ll say, “I get fit for myself” but I’ll call them out and say, if you look deep enough, there’s also a desire from...

The most common question I get asked is, “how do I get shredded?”. I am not going to bore you with all the foods you should eat or the cardio you can do to lose weight. Firstly, you already know these things and secondly you can refer to my earlier Tiktok or YouTube content for that. But I will say a few things about shredding.  Firstly, you should never rush it or do it impulsively. Shredding requires consistency, not spontaneity.  Secondly, you have to rationalise why you're doing it because there needs to be a clear reason/goal (such as a...

Something that continues to surprise me is how many people keep asking me for diet advice. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I do believe I have a body that many strive for. But having said that, I’d my knowledge on exercise science and diet is just as good as anyone else who trains in the gym or reads a few health blogs.

I also have...

Ego is something that exists inside all of us. It’s an asset in some circumstances, but mostly a liability. From my experience, the modern generation is fairly aware of it because the concept is plentifully mentioned across social media.   But just because we are aware of it, doesn’t mean we know how to manage it. I’ll be the first to say that I have an ego (we all do). Do I know how to manage mine? I am not sure, sometimes I have success, other times I don’t. Am I trying? Most definitely. Letting your ego run rampant is very...

Here’s something I’ve realised over the past 3 years of bulking and shredding, getting shredded isn’t easy. However, what’s even more difficult is staying shredded. Sure, there are strategies, habits and diet tricks you can do to make the process easier. But if you’ve read my content, you’ll know that I firmly believe you need to have a “core why” to motivate you to get shredded. This is because staying shredded necessitates sacrifice. You’ll need to consistently eat low calorie and constantly overcome temptations. You’ll need to be patient and be able to focus on something greater/more worthwhile than the...
