Comment “RP” below
Most people are constantly looking for a “better” training programme.
When in reality, they just need to train with enough intensity to force adaptation.
The “hack” you are looking for, is in the intensity and ex*****on you train with.
If you’re finishing every set with plenty left in the tank, don’t be surprised when your progress stalls.
Train hard enough that your body has no choice but to adapt.

There’s only 1 way to the top in pro sport…
Are rugby players superstitious?👀😂
Summer is where most people lose consistency ☀️🍻
Holidays.
BBQ’s.
Weekends away.
More meals out.
More social events.
And suddenly the structure disappears.
But one of my biggest nutrition tips is actually really simple👇
Eat the same meals on repeat.
When you know what you’re eating:
✔️ you know the calories
✔️ you know the macros
✔️ you stay far more consistent
That doesn’t mean eating chicken and rice 24/7.
I keep variation by rotating:
* 5 different breakfasts
* 5 lunches
* 5 dinners
* snack options throughout the week
Enough variety to enjoy your food.
Enough structure to stay on track.
The people who stay in shape through summer usually aren’t more motivated…
They’re just more organised.
