Harry Cartwright Personal Training

Two different versions of me. Same discipline. Same consistency. Different goal.

On one side, the back end of prep body fat stripped right down, food low, fatigue high, and every decision geared towards getting as lean and conditioned as possible.

On the other, the peak of a gaining phase more food, more bodyweight, more strength, and a completely different look. The goal here isn’t to be lean. It’s to fuel performance, recover, grow and build the physique that I’ll eventually reveal when it’s time to diet again.

Both require discipline. Both require consistency. Both require doing what needs to be done even when motivation isn’t there.

The actions might look different depending on the phase. Sometimes discipline means dealing with hunger and sticking to the plan. Other times it means eating another meal when you’re already full, pushing your training, accepting a little more body fat and trusting the process.

Different approaches. Different outputs. Same mindset.

Whatever stage you’re at, don’t get caught up comparing your current version to somebody else’s or even to a different version of yourself.

Know what your goal is. Understand what that goal requires. Then show up consistently enough to make it happen.

Your goal determines the approach.
Your discipline determines whether you get there.

Weekly Check-In | 249 lbs

Another productive week with all the key markers continuing to move in the right direction.

Bodyweight is progressing as planned, strength is climbing, and gym performance is rocketing. On several movements, I’m potentially up there with the strongest I’ve ever been.

Current nutrition:
Protein — 440g
Carbohydrates — 770g
Fats — 130g

Training:
High frequency, medium volume, with each muscle group trained every four days. Typically two top sets per exercise, averaging 8–10 working sets per session.

Everything is moving smoothly, bodyweight, strength, performance and recovery are all where they need to be.

Nothing fancy from here. Keep executing the plan, stay consistent, and let the process do its job. 📈

CHECK-IN — 113.5 KG 📈

Very happy with the condition at this bodyweight.

Yes, we’re softening off as the weight climbs, but the midsection is still in a very good place and there’s plenty of room left to push.

113.5 kg, up from 91 kg — 22.5 kg up.

Still firing. Strength is high. Performance is there. And we’re clearly laying down lean tissue.

This is definitely the most responsive I’ve been when it comes to building new tissue. Experimenting with some new approaches and it’s paying off. Loving the process and excited to see how far we can push this.

Swipe left to see the start of this phase at 91 kg. 🫡
