🚨Craig Mccreeth - Meet Recap🚨
Weight Class - U93KG
Squat - 162.5KG
Bench press - 107.5KG
Deadlift - 185KG
This was Craig’s first performance on the platform and he smashed it, I couldn’t be more proud of how he has performed both mentally and physically.
Craig only started with me a few months ago and in that space of time he had to iron out his form across all lifts and be in a calorie deficit during his prep which he more or less jumped straight into.
I’m happy to say that none of his lifts were failed on technicals or commands, any that were were on strength he gave it his all and performed all completed lifts to absolute perfection finishing the day going 5/9 on lifts and coming out with a 455KG total.
This man has got his name on the board and he’s just getting warmed up - watch out for him at future competitions his just getting started.

It's important to understand that progress within the gym can be variable and won't follow a linear trajectory. It's essential to have realistic expectations, have patience and adapt your approach when needed to continue making progress towards your goals..
So, while linear progress is a common concept, it's important to be aware that progress in the gym can be effected by numerous factors.
• Genetics
Genetic factors play a role in progress. Some people may have a natural predisposition to gain muscle and strength faster than others due to their genetics. This can result in faster progress for some individuals while others may progress at a slower rate.
• Plateaus
Plateaus are periods where progress may stall or slow down despite consistent efforts. This can happen due to various reasons such as overtraining, lack of variation in your training program, inadequate nutrition or recovery.
• Setbacks
Setbacks such as injuries, illnesses, or personal circumstances can disrupt your path. These setbacks may require time off from training, modifications to your training program, or changes in nutrition and lifestyle.... All will affect the pace of your progression.
• Individual Factors
Each individual's body responds differently to training and nutrition. Factors such as sleep, stress levels, hormonal fluctuations, and recovery capacity can all impact progress in training, and these factors can vary from person to person. A good coach will pick up on this and adapt when necessary
One thing to note..
It's important to stay committed, patient, and adaptable in vour approach to achieve your desired goal. Don’t give up!
