THE ROAD BACK IS FKIN HARD!

When Russell first started with us, ⁣
⁣
He was in a pretty bad way ⁣
⁣
He’d admit it! ⁣
⁣
He was on constant kidney dialysis, ⁣
⁣
And mentally, very stuck⁣
⁣
I remember thinking to myself, ⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝗪𝐎𝐑𝐊! ⁣
⁣
His intake form was full of one-word answers⁣
⁣
And looking back, ⁣
⁣
I recon it was because he was scared as shit, ⁣
⁣
That if he didn’t lose this weight, ⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐞’𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝. ⁣
⁣
But this is a story, ⁣
⁣
Of a guy that has inspired our Academy⁣
⁣
And is now, his family’s inspiration. ⁣
⁣
Despite the previous failed attempts, ⁣
⁣
This time, Russ lost enough weight ⁣
⁣
So that when a donor kidney came along, ⁣
⁣
He was healthy enough to take it. ⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐀𝐅 - 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝⁣
⁣
He’s gained a fair bit of weight back – lots of it being fluid⁣
⁣
Because he wasn’t able to train, and nutrition was a pickle⁣
⁣
But I recon he’d take that option every day of the week. ⁣
⁣
𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐲𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⁣
⁣
His kids are doing it with him,⁣
⁣
And his lovely wife Tarah’s in our Women’s Academy.⁣
⁣
For me, ⁣
⁣
𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞,⁣
⁣
Anyone can turn it around. ⁣
⁣
To go from STUCK to INSPIRATION⁣
⁣
Man… that’s cool! ⁣
⁣
Proud AF of you Rusty!

GYMTIMIDATION… IT’S A REAL THING!

Anyone who’s ever felt intimidated by the idea of walking into a gym, ⁣
⁣
Knows exactly what I’ll describe⁣
⁣
You feel like everyone’s looking at you⁣
⁣
You move around nervously, ⁣
⁣
Looking for a machine that looks self-explanatory enough to just do it for a bit! ⁣
⁣
And then there’s that dick in the corner grunting very unnecessarily⁣
⁣
The environment feels confronting at first, ⁣
⁣
But I always tell my clients, ⁣
⁣

⁣
Now, this is my client Mathi,⁣
⁣
And today, ⁣
⁣
After being in our program for a few months, ⁣
⁣
He officially ripped the scab off.⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐲𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝟑 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒! ⁣
⁣
Finding no motivation in training at home, ⁣
⁣
And with my constant encouragement to dive in deep,⁣
⁣
He did exactly that! ⁣
⁣
A lot of my posts are about transformations, ⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞 ⁣
⁣
Are when a client overcomes their inner resistance, ⁣
⁣

⁣
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐍𝐎𝗪 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞⁣
⁣
Mathi, this post might embarrass you, ⁣
⁣
But I am doing it, because I am proud of you! ⁣
⁣
And if we humans gave less fucks about what others think, ⁣
⁣
And did more of what Mathi did for himself today, ⁣
⁣
Man, we’d be a lot happier! ⁣
⁣
Well done brother! Get around him!

WHO ARE YOU ACTUALLY COMPARING TO?

When you were a kid, I bet you looked up to someone? ⁣

Back before ‘photoshop’ days⁣
⁣
You could be pretty confident your hero ⁣
⁣
Was the product of hard work and sweat ⁣
⁣
Yet these days, you can’t have that same surety ⁣

⁣
I think what stops a lot of people from getting started on their own journey⁣
⁣
Is seeing these fake images and being intimidated by it⁣
⁣

⁣
𝟐 – 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐊𝐈𝐃𝐒 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇⁣
⁣
I worry about sons and daughters growing up in photoshop world⁣
⁣
There’s no way to know whether it’s real or fake,⁣
⁣
And trying to explain this to a kid that’s infatuated with that person… ⁣
⁣
Can we really cut through? ⁣
⁣
---⁣
⁣
𝐈 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭,⁣
⁣
Because I want to be someone that inspires others, ⁣
⁣
That is a role model for my clients⁣
⁣
Because I do the work⁣
⁣
That people can be certain is 100%, authentically myself,⁣
⁣
Even if you don’t like me. ⁣
⁣
I’m doing my best to help educate ⁣
⁣
On how to take control of your health and mindset, ⁣
⁣
𝘖𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺…⁣

So that it’s less about comparison, ⁣

And more about inspiration⁣

IS YOUR EGO TOO BIG OR CAN YOU PARK IT AND FOLLOW?

This is Travis
⁣
I first met Trav around a year and a half ago⁣
⁣
If you wanted a definition of ‘stuck’, ⁣
⁣
‘Travis’ would have been a pretty good answer⁣
⁣

⁣
And was one of those guys that visibly carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.⁣
⁣
He tried to start in Better Body Academy three times, ⁣
⁣
The fear kept pulling him back in. ⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦⁣
⁣
His pain was so persistent⁣
⁣
That his only option for living,⁣
⁣
Was to kill his ‘𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧’⁣
⁣
Fast forward to now, ⁣
⁣
This guy is probably the bravest MF I have ever met⁣
⁣
𝐈 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧, 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟐 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬⁣
⁣
The bloke is 50kg down… FIFTY! ⁣
⁣
He is strong as an ox and consistently works out⁣
⁣
And it turns out, ⁣
⁣
That behind the self-sabotage, condemnation and shitty facial hair, ⁣
⁣
Was one of the most handsome devils you’d ever see ⁣
⁣
His energy now lights the room, ⁣
⁣
His eyes and smile radiate warmth⁣
⁣
And Travis is now a fully qualified Personal Trainer, ⁣
⁣
And on his way to becoming a BBA Coach⁣
⁣
𝘚𝘰 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵? ⁣
⁣
Probably best to ask him…⁣
⁣
But from my perspective, it’s simple…⁣
⁣
Simple, BUT not easy…⁣
⁣
He parked his ego, ⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨, ⁣
⁣
And went all in,⁣

But I sit now, next to a bloke I call a good friend⁣
⁣
I am BEYOND proud of you brother, ⁣

A coach becomes invalid⁣

I WISH I HAD A MAGIC WAND

In society, ⁣
⁣
We tell each other things like ‘𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳’⁣
⁣
Or⁣
⁣
It’s ‘𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘶𝘭𝘵’⁣
⁣
But I actually think that gives us a false sense of entitlement…⁣
⁣
Like someone is coming to save us…⁣
⁣
It strips us of ‘𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵’⁣
⁣
When the actual fact is, ⁣
⁣
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞⁣
⁣
And that sounds harsh, but it’s not meant harshly⁣
⁣
I thought I deserved better, ⁣
⁣
And that my ‘𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴’ was not my fault, ⁣
⁣
Truth is, it was my fault⁣
⁣
Because I waited for someone to help me, ⁣
⁣
Rather than take control, ⁣
⁣
I waited until I hit rock bottom to act⁣
⁣
I hoped for things to get better, ⁣
⁣
Nothing at all changed until I did something about it…⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐨, 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐝, ⁣
⁣
I’d wave it over you and say,⁣
⁣
‘I wish for you to realise just what you can do if you start now’⁣
⁣
And I mean, GO ALL IN! ⁣
⁣
Not this toe-dipping thing, ⁣
⁣
Like, ALL IN! ⁣
⁣
Completely SCRAP your current environment, ⁣
⁣
And decide to love yourself, so you can fully love others,⁣
⁣
Coaching is emotionally hard at times, ⁣
⁣
Because you just want everyone to win, ⁣
⁣
But you can’t win it for them…

GRATEFUL, IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!

⁣
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐩.⁣
⁣
The idea is simple…⁣
⁣
These 5 blokes are so embodied in the BBA mission, ⁣
⁣
They just want to help us change more lives⁣
⁣
Because their lives have been changed immensely⁣
⁣

⁣
The love and trust I have for these men is huge, ⁣
⁣
Nick ‘the protein guy’ is a busy family man, with a lot of career responsibility, but it doesn’t stop him from being an incredible ‘glue’ in BBA: a no-BS ‘get it done’ bloke.⁣
⁣
Terry is Benjamin Button – the man that proves reverse aging is possible, and is the most consistent man to ever step foot in BBA⁣
⁣
Nicola is the strong AF, hero-to-zero-to-hero chef that is our daily reminder that anything is possible if you follow your dreams - ⁣
⁣
Travis is probably the most inspiring person I have ever met – from addiction to ambition, and 50kg down, this guy is represents everything the BBA was created for⁣
⁣
And Mike, my brother from another-mother, more loyal than your best pair of undies, he’s as good as a friend can get, and an amazing coach that will do anything for anyone. ⁣
⁣
The mission of empowering people to change their lives, ⁣
⁣
By giving them the basic tools and accountability, ⁣
⁣
Is far greater than me.⁣
⁣
I’ve realised that in business, ⁣
⁣
And in life,⁣
⁣
To be surrounded by people you trust and believe in wholly⁣
⁣
That don’t wanna fuck you, ⁣
⁣
Is a tremendous luxury!⁣

12 MONTHS, ZERO ALCOHOL - A COMPLETE LIFE TRANSFORMATION

I knew Ben Carty in a different life, ⁣
⁣
He was a pretty loose unit⁣
⁣
I remember thinking after the first time I met him probably 20 years ago, ⁣
⁣
‘𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘺𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥’⁣
⁣
But times change, ⁣
⁣
Kids come along, ⁣
⁣
And a year and a half ago, he reached out for some help⁣
⁣
Benny was never overweight, ⁣
⁣
But, his weekends were lost to hangovers, ⁣
⁣
And with a couple of kids and a beautiful misso,⁣
⁣
That’s never going to be sustainable. ⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐲,
⁣
He became a leader,⁣
⁣
With his epic video check-ins every Friday⁣
⁣
I think the lads really looked up to him⁣
⁣
A super successful builder with his company Boom Build⁣
⁣
That had drawn a line in the sand, to work on is health as well. ⁣
⁣
I spent some beautiful time last week, ⁣
⁣
Training and catching up with Ben, ⁣
⁣
Deep, inspiring conversation,⁣
⁣
With a bloke that has now gone an entire year without booze, ⁣
⁣
Has taken up meditation, ⁣
⁣
And he is so fricken self-aware⁣
⁣
He is still ‘𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥’ in life, ⁣
⁣
But in a completely different way⁣
⁣
I love having men like Carts around me, ⁣
⁣
It makes me a better person, ⁣
⁣
You’re going to be hearing from Ben soon on the Podcast,⁣
⁣
For now, just know, ⁣
⁣
That if like Ben, you have had enough of the same old shit, ⁣
⁣
And want to start levelling up your health, ⁣
⁣
There is a place for you in Better Body Academy:⁣

WHAT 'I LIVE FOR' - PLEASE READ

I just got off my fortnightly Zoom catch-up with our BBA Boys⁣
⁣
I asked a question for them to ponder – ‘𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳?’⁣
⁣
Most of the lads answered, ‘my family’⁣
⁣
Very typical, but what does that ACTUALLY mean? ⁣
⁣
That as the breadwinner, you live specifically to make sure they have the finances to survive?⁣
⁣
That you live to share love? ⁣
⁣
We would all assign different meanings to ‘𝘐 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺’⁣
⁣
But I promised them I’d sit briefly, and then share my answers as to what I live for.⁣
⁣
---⁣
⁣
It’s a hard question, kind of like ‘what’s the meaning of life?’⁣
⁣
My conclusion is, ⁣
⁣
I live to 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. ⁣
⁣
I feel like the longer I live, the more I see life as,⁣
⁣
90-100 years on a planet, ⁣
⁣
To which you have an opportunity to have fun. ⁣
⁣
When I say ‘𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦’, ⁣
⁣
What that actually means for me is feeling the sensations and thoughts that come with doing something either difficult or pleasurable. ⁣
⁣
For me, I feel very connected to something higher than me,⁣
⁣
Not a religion, ⁣
⁣
A higher power that connects us all ⁣
⁣
And when I share moments and experiences with my loved ones⁣
⁣
What I’d call ‘living for my family’⁣
⁣
This gives me serious warm, fuzzy feelings⁣
⁣
And somehow, that seems to connect back to me feeling fulfilled that I am doing something that’s greater than me. ⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬:⁣
⁣
1 – When I look into my daughter’s eyes, and she holds a stare for 5 secs before becoming distracted, I feel an incredible deep sense of infinite love⁣
⁣
OR⁣
⁣
2 – When I get a message back from a client saying ‘dude, you helped me change my life’, I have this same incredible sense of love and gratitude. ⁣
⁣
In both cases, this sense of love, which is almost indescribable, makes me feel very connected to other humans and to a higher power. ⁣
⁣
This may make no sense, or it might make a LOT of sense. ⁣
⁣
But when asked what I live for, the answer is AN EXPERIENCE⁣
⁣
Some momentary, short experiences, ⁣
⁣
Some longer, deeper, more exhilarating experiences⁣
⁣
All patched together to = LIFE. ⁣
⁣
And maybe that’s why I’m pretty happy. ⁣
⁣
I KNOW that experience is what I LIVE for, so I seek it out as much as I can! ⁣
⁣
I put very little value in accumulating things, except where they may give me an experience…⁣
⁣
Happy Weekend ;)⁣
⁣
PS. This was a moment of love for me last night ;)⁣

WHY 'DOING IT FOR YOUR FAMILY' IS A FAILURE TRAP

I speak to a lot of men⁣
⁣
I ask – ‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵?’⁣
⁣
The most common answer? ⁣
⁣
‘For my family – the partner and kids’⁣
⁣
Well why is it that these same men can’t motivate themselves to even get started? ⁣
⁣
I know with certainty, the answer. ⁣
⁣
Changing yourself is hard! ⁣
⁣
Not only does it require courage to start⁣
⁣
But it requires you to adopt a new mindset that’s different to your current one⁣
⁣
It’s going to require you to push through large piles of shit some days, ⁣
⁣
Undoing 10-20 years of crap habits⁣
⁣
It’s damn hard to do, especially if you’re doing it alone. ⁣
⁣
But, the main problem is this… ⁣
⁣
Doing it for someone else, other than YOU mate! ⁣
⁣
It might be honourable to say ‘I want to do it for them family’⁣
⁣
But I can tell you sure as hell, ⁣
⁣
When you’re tired from work, ⁣
⁣
When you just want to sit down, ⁣
⁣
When you feel the lure of booze to chill you out, ⁣
⁣
“The family” are not enough motivation.⁣
⁣
When you look in the mirror and feel like you’re failing, ⁣
⁣
That’s not ‘the family’, ⁣
⁣
These are thoughts you have about yourself. ⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅. ⁣
⁣
Imagine looking in that same mirror and feeling proud, ⁣
⁣
Imagine losing 10kg and feeling energetic⁣
⁣
Imagine being able to call yourself ‘a healthy man’⁣
⁣
These feelings are for YOU⁣
⁣
They benefit your family, but they are FOR YOU! ⁣
⁣
YOU don’t want to miss out on life with them, FOR YOU⁣
⁣
YOU don’t want to let them down, FOR YOU⁣
⁣
YOU want to feel successful, FOR YOU⁣
⁣
YOU need this FOR YOU⁣
⁣
It’s starts with YOU⁣
⁣
And when you start understanding and believing this, ⁣
⁣
Operating from this position, ⁣
⁣
True, sustainable change can commence!

THE ONLY CURRENCY YOU'LL EVENTUALLY CARE ABOUT

Closet hobby⁣
⁣
Jase collects old coins from round the world⁣
⁣
I know - it’s like publicly admitting to having a porn addiction⁣
⁣
Anyway…⁣
⁣
𝘚𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯? ⁣
⁣
It’s my oldest penny from 1886⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐊𝐈𝐍 𝟏𝟖𝟖𝟔⁣
⁣
Back then, it was worth something, ⁣
⁣
But if I took it to the shop now, ⁣
⁣
It would buy me exactly…𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆. ⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲…⁣
⁣
Most of us work out nuts off chasing money, ⁣
⁣
And our health goes to shit in the process…⁣
⁣
But soon enough, ⁣
⁣
Perhaps when we have ‘enough’ money, ⁣
⁣
We realise that life is very short⁣
⁣
And the only currency we wished we’d saved for,⁣
⁣
Is our health… ⁣
⁣
Like this penny, money will at some point become useless to you⁣
⁣
And at this point, ⁣
⁣
The ONLY Currency You’ll Eventually Care About⁣
⁣
Is Your Health…⁣
⁣
Is it time to start saving?⁣

OUR FIRST EVER NIGHT APART - WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS?

Oshyn and I have NEVER had a night apart⁣
⁣
𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥⁣
⁣
Until last night ⁣
⁣
We left her with Carly,⁣
⁣
And Cords and I spent a beautiful night in Sydney…⁣
⁣
But it nearly didn’t happen…⁣
⁣

⁣
And that made me think,⁣
⁣
This is exactly what it’s like for so many guys⁣
⁣
They want to start a transformation,⁣
⁣
They NEED to lose weight before they end up sick⁣
⁣

⁣
And so they stay stuck,⁣
⁣
Attached to an old set of beliefs about being useless⁣
⁣
About being a failure…⁣
⁣
And they continuing to suffer every day…⁣

And completely change your life,⁣
⁣
If you’re only willing to rip the scab off and get started!⁣

This is your time!

WTF - SIZE 30 SHORTS??

What is accountability?⁣
⁣
It basically means BEING RESPONSIBLE…⁣
⁣
You can be responsible to:⁣
⁣
Your kids⁣
⁣
Your partner⁣
⁣
Your boss⁣
⁣
Your employees⁣
⁣
Your training partner⁣
⁣
The goal is, to not let them down⁣
⁣
And it’s that which keeps you in the hook⁣
⁣
But being a coach, ⁣
⁣
𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲…⁣
⁣
If I don’t lead by example, ⁣
⁣
Practice what I preach⁣
⁣
Then I’m a fake ⁣
⁣
I don’t share many of my personal “fitness” wins⁣
⁣
But this is certainly one⁣
⁣

⁣
I’ve not been that since 20 years old⁣

⁣
Because the moment the coach stops being accountable⁣
⁣
He breaks one of his own rules ⁣

20 YEARS ON - I CAN'T WAIT TO BE 40

𝗔𝘁 𝟮𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 ⁣
⁣
I thought the idea was to eat as much as possible to grow muscle⁣
⁣
I knew nothing about nutrition, ⁣
⁣
Hence, I was a box⁣
⁣
With really bad/good T-shirts⁣ and a shit beard strap
⁣
𝗔𝘁 𝟰𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 ⁣
⁣
I understand nutrition ⁣
⁣
I know how to help men achieve their best shape in 20 years⁣
⁣
All I’m actually doing is sharing what I’ve learned⁣
⁣
Through 4 years of studying dietetics at university⁣
⁣
And coaching hundreds of transformations ⁣
⁣
𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝗳 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼…⁣

But you have to be willing to put your ego to the side,⁣
⁣
And ask for help ⁣
⁣
Life’s too short to stay BOXED

THE FISH THAT GOT AWAY... IS IT YOU?

Yesterday, I went fishing…basically Maltese Rex Hunt ⁣
⁣
As I was baiting up⁣
⁣
I was remembered the analogy we use inside BBA…⁣
⁣
If you look closely at a most fishing hooks, you’ll see a tiny little barb near the sharp end⁣
⁣
The purpose of that barb, is to stop the hook from slipping out of the fish’s mouth if the tension in the line goes slack…⁣
⁣

⁣
Most guys try to change on their own⁣
⁣
They’re good while they are rolling,⁣
⁣
But the moment “life” pops up like it does,⁣
⁣
It creates slack in the line and the hook slips out…⁣

But you just can’t get yourself to do it…⁣

You’re fishing with a barbless hook that keeps slipping out…⁣

⁣
We got you covered!⁣

DAD, I'M BUSTING FOR A POO!!

This was how the conversation went…⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐨𝐧 - ‘𝘋𝘢𝘥, 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘺, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧’⁣

⁣
This was the 30 seconds of dialogue I heard, ⁣
⁣
As son and dad slowly, but urgently passed us ⁣
⁣
While we casually strolled through the hotel…⁣
⁣
This poor dad, carrying a fair amount of weight, ⁣
⁣
Was writing himself off at 50!!⁣
⁣
And it made me think…⁣
⁣

⁣

⁣
Being of a healthy weight is not just about health⁣
⁣
It’s not just about confidence and feeling good⁣

OR you need to save them from something more dangerous⁣

WE SHOULD LIVE FOR OUR KIDS, NOT DIE FOR THEM

This was a quote direct from my client Daniel Troutman
⁣
He realized this as he became consciously aware of a reality, ⁣
⁣
That his kids copy everything he does⁣
⁣
And that what he was modeling, ⁣
⁣
Was not what he wanted them to see…⁣
⁣

⁣
𝗛𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝟯𝟬𝗸𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻!⁣
⁣
Our job as men, is to guide our kids⁣
⁣
To let them know they can go anywhere they’re want ⁣
⁣
Be anything they want⁣
⁣
Experience life, ⁣
⁣
And love truly… ⁣
⁣
I love that my clients continue to teach me,⁣
⁣
As much as I teach them!⁣
