Procrastination, the enemy of change

There are two drivers for us, pleasure and pain

Pain is the stronger of the two. We will do what’s required to avoid pain

When we reach the point were pain overrides our current choices, we are free to take the action required to change

Why do so many successful business men fail when it comes to looking after their bodies?

What lessons can they learn from their business success that could cross over to their personal lives?

Change can be overwhelming

Figuring out strategies to help dilute the effects of change can lead to a smooth transition to success

Training at home should be simple, it should be consistent and it should be minimal as far as equipment goes

the less distractions you have, the easier it is to do it

The Royal Court of Home Gyms

Body weight

Kettlebell

Gymnastic rings

You have these three items and you have a fully functioning gym that WILL build you a better body

All three of these items are fully portable and can be thrown into the boot of the car and taken wherever you go

of course you can have more items if you wish but IMO the less room required and the more portable the items, the better

If I brought a barbell, plates, bench and a rack home, I better have another home to stay in because

I am not gonna be sleeping in my bed with the wife, I can bet she will make sure of that

Of course things like macebells, val slides, resistance bands, sandbags are a welcome edition to any home gym and opens up many other options but I suggest getting the basics and build from there

I get that but the question still remains.... WHY?

You have spent how many years "just wanting to train"

But you have never stopped to ask WHY you want to train?

And for the vast majority this is what is stopping your from succeeding!

It is ironic that those looking for the answer, avoid asking the necessary questions 

We are our children’s first love and influencers but what if we took a step back and allowed them to teach us lessons?

They intrinsically know what living is!

WE decided through logic what living is, based off our perceptions and experiences but we have forgotten that a LOT of what we THINK we know is driven by society’s definition of what normal should be, our children haven’t experienced that level of conditioning YET!

If we allowed ourselves to apply our life lessons ALONG with their natural exuberance for life, we would discover that not only will they become more confident children but we would live a less stressful, more joy filled life that benefits us all and THAT is what living is about!!

The best thing you can ever do for yourself is to build mental resistance 

We have no power over what life throws at us but we do have power over how we react

once this clicks in your mind, you are free to have more control over all your actions and ultimately your outcomes

The mental health of our society is at threat

Why are the media and governments not acknowledging it?

Why is there such a focus on preventing COVID deaths at the expense of all others?

We live in a changing world

Waiting for things to change is futile 

If you want your life to change, you gotta be willing to take action to change it yourself

Training can be boring

Deal with it princess

The routine you are in will determine the results you get

What kind of routine do you have?

Is it helping or hindering?

It is really simple, the world will do its best to crush you

Don't help them

We tend to do what we are good at, avoiding the stuff we know we should do but avoid

Over time this leads to us not feeling 100% and yet we still choose to avoid doing whatever is required in favour of the stuff we enjoy

My daily talk on what’s on my mind and how it can possibly help you become more

Can you touch your toes?

Can you do 10 proper push ups?

Many men struggle to do basic movements of the human body but insist on jumping into HIIT style sessions

And then wonder why they end up injured?

Too many men want the body they are after without having to go through the struggle of achieving it

The reality is, for you to succeed in anything, you must be willing to sacrifice things that others are not

Where there is money to be made, there will be lies told and nowhere is this more prevalent than the fitness industry

An industry that is meant to help people, is turning into a cutthroat industry where lies seem to be acceptable as long as there is a profit to be made

The most common mistakes the average man makes when it comes to their eating, that are preventing them for achieving their goals.

Middle aged men and the mistakes they make in training, especially in recovery

We go DEEP DOWN the rabbit hole on this one

Today I speak to a good friend and ex business partner Dan McCAffery Dan is owner of No Limits, one of the most successful private training facilities in the North of Ireland. 

He also co-founded Primal Strength & Movement with me back in 2016. he talks about his journey from coaching his family and renting out a hall to hold circuits, to owning a facility with over 200 members

I talk to Neil Simpson, an exGB Judo player about his Judo journey, the benefits, how it can help children become more resilient, the need for more exposure

In this episode I speak with Ben Davis, an Irish MMA fighter. 

One of my favourite episodes so far! 

We go DEEP down the psychedelic and spirituality rabbit hole

Today I interview Paulo Guimaraes, head coach of Roots BJJ in Sydney, Australia. 

Paulo is a second generation Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt who was the first black belt to settle in Australia and set up a BJJ school.  

We talk all about his journey from his days in Brazil, to where he is now with numerous schools all over Australia and the world. 

We also touch on the evolution of BJJ and reminisce about good times.

Was fantastic to catch up with a good friend who I hold a lot of respect for

In this episode that has been banned over and over, I talk to Andy Chapman, head coach of BJJ/MMA gym Team Rhino Limavady 

we talk about the subject on everyones lips that is being suppressed over and over again COVID!

Is the man you are today, the type of man you would be happy to date your daughters?

Is the man you are today, the type of man you would want influencing your sons?

Most men I meet, are training wrong

This leads to injury, failure and a feeling of pointlessness 

The solution is acceptance that you need to do things differently and embrace the change

Paddy Joe Black Joins me to discuss all things nutrition and fitness

Our habits dictate our day to day actions

Whether good or bad, our mind doesn’t rationalise, it just does

But WHY do they have such sway over us when for so many of us, they are detrimental to our goals?

Once you realise that the struggle you dread is the answer to your problems, you are free to take the action required 

I speak with another of the OG's of Irish MMA, Andy Burrows and we reminisce about the good old days of Irish MMA, the evolution of the sport and how we see it panning out in the future.

We talk all things fitness, business and marketing related and how he applied painful lessons learnt from the car industry to the fitness industry and founded Irelands No. 1 Personal Training Academy

So if you are a gym owner, PT, thinking about getting into the industry or you just love listening to how others built their businesses, then this is for you
