💥DO YOUR BEST💥 . . Following on from what I said on my stories the other day. Do the best you can, with what you have, in the situation you find yourself in. . . Don’t deny yourself a ‘good’ meal because you can’t have a ‘perfect’ one. Earlier I had a very short amount of time to eat and needed a high carb meal with a solid hit of protein with moderate/low fat - this was the result (swipe for macros). It was calorie dense, macros were pretty good, maybe not as nutrient dense as I’d like but I can always add some extra veggies to a later meal to help out. . . Although it wasn’t ‘perfectly’ aligned with my goals, I did the best I could in the situation I found myself in and it was a better option than some other choices I had available. . . Don’t beat yourself up about not being perfect, just do your best, you can always improve next time 👌🏼 . . #doyourbest #longevity #gainz #weights #inspo #progress #determination #bodybuilder #man #wellness #life #results #gymlife #fitness #gym #health #fitfam #bulk #cardio #exercise #sport #lifestyle #abs #training #physique #body #fitspo #gains #protein #muscle (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz1HDQrjqGy/?igshid=19q6qsd349w03

Feeling like crap and not enjoying your sessions? Are you tired, lacking appetite and not sleeping well? MAYBE you need to take a few days off to let your body recover. . . I had to take 3 days off the gym just to allow my body some much needed rest. Worked out earlier and I had a great pump and really enjoyed being in there again. . . Short term breaks for long term gainz 👌🏼 . . #rest #recovery #grumpygainz #weights #inspo #progress #determination #bodybuilder #man #wellness #life #results #gymlife #fitness #gym #health #fitfam #bulk #cardio #exercise #sport #lifestyle #abs #training #physique #body #fitspo #gains #protein #muscle (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BztYqLojnm0/?igshid=1tmeujaqamwv9

Ah shit, here we go again. #transformationtuesday is upon us. . . These pictures are almost exactly a year apart. It's really weird to think how much you can physically change from one year to the next and all by your own hand too. This was June 25th 2018 to June 22nd 2019. . . Clearly I've gone through a physical change but the biggest transformation has been a mental one. I don't often look through social pictures from my competition prep as it genuinely makes me sad. I'm upset with how I acted toward certain people or particular scenarios and the person I became. I also developed an overly anal relationship with food and when I watch my vlogs back I'm really disappointed. . . I succeeded with what I was trying to achieve with my body but failed with what I was doing in life. I'm not saying I'll never do this again but I know what I'll do differently next time and I'll be prepared. . . You live and you learn. . . #bebetter #grumpygainz #weights #inspo #progress #determination #bodybuilder #man #wellness #life #results #gymlife #fitness #gym #health #fitfam #bulk #cardio #exercise #sport #lifestyle #abs #training #physique #body #fitspo #gains #protein #muscle (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJNgGjD48Q/?igshid=x2teqnhz0wtn

🔶THE SLIDING SCALE🔶 . . Most things are NOT ‘this’ or ‘that’, they’re usually in the middle and we should probably try and avoid absolutes and extremes. . . For example, ‘you should only use free weights, they’re the best’ or ‘just use machines, they’re safe and great for isolation’. We could probably use an intelligent combination of both. . . Sometimes the ‘old school’ handles are brilliant but I’m also open to trying new grips/handles/attachments. Not because the old ones don’t work, but the new ones may work better for me and you don’t know until you try. . . I’ve been using SOME of these Tryon attachments and they have reduced my elbow pain by about 80% which is mind blowing. I wouldn’t be able to train back without them at the moment. . . Trial and error. Find what works for you and milk the living gazebo out of it. . . #latenightmusings #backday #grumpygainz #weights #inspo #progress #determination #bodybuilder #man #wellness #life #results #gymlife #fitness #gym #health #fitfam #bulk #cardio #exercise #sport #lifestyle #abs #training #physique #body #fitspo #gains #protein #muscle (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzEgYM7HWqN/?igshid=8lckxqckq8j9

I have many leatherbound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. . . Learning about ‘advanced muscle gain techniques’ from @macnutrition. . . Topless learning increases gainz by 27%. . . #ronburgundy #whatamelt #grumpygainz #weights #inspo #progress #determination #bodybuilder #man #wellness #life #results #gymlife #fitness #gym #health #fitfam #bulk #cardio #exercise #sport #lifestyle #abs #training #physique #body #fitspo #gains #protein #muscle https://www.instagram.com/p/Bys0JfnHc-e/?igshid=51wxck7i4wix

Imagine if you mixed Saitama with Arnold; what in God’s name would that produce!? Only bodybuilding anime fans need bother contemplating 🙄 . .

Today marks the heaviest (and strongest) I have ever been so ties in very nicely for a 4 year #transformationtuesday. . . Ages 23-27. . . Weight ranging from 157lbs - 195lbs (71.3kg - 88.6kg) throughout this period. . . Competitions, holidays, photo shoots, life events, bulking, injuries - a lot has happened physically since my first time competing. . . I didn’t always know what I’m doing (still learning a lot today) but the main thing, is that I was always training, trying to eat well, doing something active and picking it up as I went along. . . I’ve been weight training since I was 15 and there was a lot of bad practise in the 8 years leading into that first picture but you’re better off doing something than nothing, even if you’re not doing it perfectly 😊 . . #nattygainz #grumpygainz #weights #inspo #progress #determination #bodybuilder #man #wellness #life #results #gymlife #fitness #gym #health #fitfam #bulk #cardio #exercise #sport #lifestyle #abs #training #physique #body #fitspo #gains #protein #muscle (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BykONEondx6/?igshid=1tokztyl3gkqq
