S2 E62 - The Opinions of Others is HOLDING YOU BACK!

I’m seeing more & more of this And it’s easy to understand why There’s so much information online these days that you canfind a million different answers to the same question And you’re trying to implement at least 10 of them Getting more & more confused Each of those 10 answers could mean spending the next 10weeks trying 10 different things Instead of trying ONE thing for 10 weeks to allow it enoughtime to work I was no different I’d get my monthly subscriptions through the post Muscle & FitnessFlexMen’s Health And that meant that, every single month, I’d have 3different magazines Within those magazines, there’d be 5-6 different trainingand diet approaches, interviews & pull-outs And, you guessed it I’d spend the month trying as many of them as I could Until The next month rolled around Nothing was ever given enough time to work because

S2 E61 - You NEED a MEAL PLAN... better than the one you're already following without realising

You're already following a meal plan. You just don't realise itThe same breakfastThe same lunchThe same meals on rotationThe same takeaway order every timeSo why not make that structure work FOR your goals?I'm not talking about eating chicken, rice & broccoli six times a day until you want to throw yourself out of a windowI'm talking about a simple, flexible plan built around your goals, your preferences & your lifestyleOne that gives you options, makes food shopping easier, helps you prepare in advance and removes the daily guessworkBecause when you're trying to get in shape, the last thing you need is to make eating harder than it has to beYou don't necessarily need to track every calorie or weigh every grain of riceYou need the right structure, the right portions and, most importantly, consistencyYour meal plan should make life simpler AND help you get resultsIn this video, I explain how to build that structure without making food boring, restrictive or unnecessarily complic

S2 E60 - Why Do I Do This? What Keeps Me Going?

I've had a few people ask me recently what keeps me going and what I'm still working towardsThe honest answer is that, ultimately, I do this for meIt's not about external validation, social media attention or proving myself to other peopleTraining keeps me in a good place physically and mentally, and everything else — my business, relationships and the example I set for others — is a bonus that comes from thatI also talk about my long-term goal of eventually stepping on a bodybuilding stageFor me, that's about the challenge - pushing my body and mind to their limits and seeing what I'm capable ofI've always been driven by the desire to be betterThat applies to my physique, my coaching, my career, and being the best father and husband I can beI also reflect on the last few months, when an injury took away something that had been a huge part of my life for yearsNot being able to train forced me to find other ways to manage myself and gave me an opportunity to learn more about

S2 E59 - Time should not be the thing holding you back

I get itWork, family, responsibilities and everything else life throws at you can make finding time for training and nutrition feel almost impossibleBut time probably isn’t the real problemIn this video, I explain why being busy shouldn’t stop you from making meaningful progress with your physique — and why priorities, planning and having the right strategy matter so much moreI coverWhy getting to the gym 3–4 times a week isn't enough on its ownWhy your training needs to be properly structured and challengingHow meal preparation can actually save you timeWhy planning your food in advance makes busy evenings much easierWhy you organise your work and family commitments but often don't give your physique the same priorityWhy improving your physique isn't selfishHow better physical progress can improve your energy, confidence and how you carry yourselfWhy putting in more effort isn't always the answer — sometimes you need better directionI'm 40, a business own

S2 E58 - 5 Promotions in 7 Years

Putting in more effort doesn't always mean you're going to get better resultsFor years, I was doing what I thought I needed to do to get in shapeI was training 6–7 days a week, sometimes twice a dayI was meal preppingI was eating chicken, broccoli and riceI was taking every supplement I could findI certainly wasn't lacking effortBut I wasn't getting the results that effort should have been producingThen I hired a coachIn 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 yearsAnd the impact wasn't just physicalAs my physique improved, so did my confidence, energy and the way I carried myselfThat ultimately contributed to me putting myself forward for opportunities at work that previously might have felt out of reachI eventually left my finance career behind, but the lesson has stayed with me throughout my coaching careerI see the same thing with clientsTh

S2 E57 - Why you still don't look like you train!

You’re putting in the workYou’re getting to the gym regularly, trying to eat reasonably well and doing your best to look after yourselfBut the physique you see in the mirror still doesn’t seem to reflect the effort you’re putting inThe problem probably isn’t that you need to work harderIt’s that the work you’re doing isn’t working as effectively as it couldIn this video, I break down 5 of the biggest reasons you can be training consistently without seeing the physique changes you wantYour training doesn’t have a clear purpose – you’re doing plenty, but without a clear strategyYou’re not training as hard as you think – there’s a difference between completing your sets and providing enough stimulus to actually create changeYou’re guessing at your progress – without tracking performance, it’s difficult to know whether you’re genuinely progressingYour diet isn’t supporting your

S2 E56 - You're Training Hard. Why isn't your physique reflecting the effort you're putting in?

Changing your training programme every few weeks could be one of the biggest reasons you're not making the progress you wantIf 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 problemIn 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 workRather 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 thereThe strategy shouldn't constantly change. Your execution should improve⁣⁣If you'd like to find me on other social media platforms or get in touch to ask questions, you can do so at the following:Facebook - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/benhowardfi
