    Hiya Luna just a heads up, all the tbjp athletes are coaches. I suggest if you’re looking for a coach (tbjp athlete or not) to reach out to them and book in for a call or consultation. That will help you know if you will potentially work together well, and if they can provide the service you want/need.

    Hiya Harriet, totally agree with Peter, I’d aim to make 100-150kcal increase and monitor from there. Utilise low volume carbs to help with this e.g. honey or dried fruits👍🏼

    Totally agree with Oscar! Keep training as is. No need to change anything as you start a diet phase 👍🏼

    I vary the types of bread I eat! I enjoy sourdough but enjoy a variety of others when I fancy. As long as they digest well you’re good 👍🏼

    Hi guys happy Wednesday! BUSY day today! Up after a late night seeing Jamiroquai, sick evening! Up for a short walk, breakfast and then a lot of laptop work! Check ins, training analysis, new starters then off to train hams glutes and delts. Later than usual but a great session all the same. I felt a bit rushed as I was keen to get over to my grandmas before it got too late. Just a busy morning that took longer than anticipated. Popped over to see my grandma and then back home to wrap up the day. Up super early tomorrow to drop Louis at the airport

    Hi guys! Happy Tuesday! Usual routine today, rest day, up for a walk, breakfast, check ins and then spent a little time with one of my clients going over some posing, then back home to continue working, short trip to Waterstones (I would like to get into reading more and I want to make more time for it in 2026) and now out for the evening to see Jamiroquai 🕺

    Hiya Holden, the guys above have explained it right to the point. It’s totally different. Also, self explanatory but focusing predominantly on Squat Bench and Deadlift. It’s about lifting from A to B in the most efficient way possible rather than maximising opportunity for hypertrophy.

    Hi guys happy Monday! Up for a walk, breakfast and work before heading in to train. I felt miles better after a good night sleep. In for quads and glutes and I had a crazy good session? I had to double take on multiple machines to check I had it loaded correctly because everything was flying. Super happy! Back home to continue on with work and I can’t lie I’m getting overwhelmed again. Just a busy patch

    Hi guys! Rest day today and woke up feeling less shit. Cold and flu to the rescue. I didn’t sleep super well but better than the last 2 nights so I’ll take it. Up for breakfast and then drove back down to London/Surrey. I got back and honestly sat in the bath for about an hour cause I felt a bit shit. Popped out for a quick food shop then back home to do a little work getting everyone set up for the week and final check ins. As the evening progresses I do feel better and better and so fingers crossed if I wake up feeling good tomorrow I’ll be in to train 👍🏼

    Hi guys! Watching my sister compete at nationals today. She ended up having to handle herself but it actually worked VERY well for her, she podiumed and got 3rd which is great as the 63s is a very competitive class. She finished with 170kg squat, 100kg bench and 207.5kg deadlift. A really good day! Came back to the air bnb and ordered some Korean food (her fav) chilling and playing Mario Odyssey. I would have trained today, however I woke up feeling ill and slept like absolute shite (maybe 4 hours) hopefully a better night tonight

    Hiya Callum, the guys have covered it well. I tend to find with bench that if I generally try to keep scapula retracted I’m able to be a LOT more stable.
