🍷Your snatched waist deep core routine is (possibly) great for building a strong core. But it’s not enough to make you tight, toned, snatched, or whatever else some other trainer is selling you on… Until you reduce your body fat… your belly is still going to be thicker than you want and you’ll continue to pass it off as that “stubborn area” as you sweat through another 100 crunches… You have to get one thing under control and be consistent at it if you want to lose fat and inches off your waist.. Calories. I don’t care if they come from salad, wine, or Tagalongs.. If you’re eating too much, no core routine is ever going to snatch anything… And I threw in wine because it’s a huge culprit with this crowd. 💁🏻‍♂️ When you drink, your body immediately stores wine directly in the belly…. Joking. But it’s extremely high in calories, ruins your recovery process, negatively impacts sleep, decreases your energy which all make sticking to your calories or a solid workout routine next to impossible. Get into a calorie deficit you can stick to long term. So no 1200 calorie diets. 😉 Add in core work to build a strong midsection… I suggest: Heavy cable crunches Slow & Controlled Leg Raises Palloff Press Heavy Cable chops Take your weight daily, photos and measurements monthly… Give it 2+ months and you will begin to see a major difference. But remember, calories consumed are king… not calories burned. Snatch up a food scale and get to tracking. 💪🏼😉 #snatchedwaist #waisttraining #slimmingworld

Lift Heavy & Have A Plan To Fail. The bench press is an easy one to get stuck under, but it’s also easy to avoid if you have a proper plan. 1. Use spotter arms. This will allow you to lay the bar down without squashing your beautiful face. 2. Have an actual spotter. Someone you trust that can help you by pulling the bar up and taking some of the pressure off the bench if you do reach failure. 3. Don’t use clips, lay the bar down softly, and be ok rocking right to left and dropping the plates on the ground. (*dont smash your phone) 4. The route I took, which honestly would be my last choice… lay the bar below the rib cage, roll it down to your waist and sit up. You should 100% practice these with an empty bar or with 5 or 10 pound plates. If you practice, you’ll have a plan. If you don’t, you’re going to panic and be more likely to do something stupid or get injured. Practice safe sets. 😉 Lift heavy. And have a plan for failure. ✌🏼-Ben #benchpress #gymfail #fail #gym

Don’t judge me on that dinner. 😅 When I first started my business in 2019, I intended to have a full time in person training business. 🦠I grew to being full booked at 44 hours within 6 months, then everyone started talking about a virus… 🙃 Our gym closed for a few weeks and a lot of my clients were afraid to come back. I went from 44 hours to 4… It was gut wrenching. One year old at home and planning for a second, it was time to rebuild. I grew back to over 20 hours of work before realizing a lot of this could be done online.. And for 1/8th of the price for the client, more attention towards nutrition, and the option to workout on their own time. So I switched gears and went all in online while balancing what I had in person.. Fast forward a few years and now my online clients have surpassed everything I built in 2019.. It has been a ride.. 🫠 And some days are still a grind with business on my mind from 5-bed.. But it beats what I left before 2019 and it’s given me the opportunity to work with some pretty incredible people all over the world. If you’re out there hustling to balance life and build something big to impact others… let me know as I would love to follow and support you on your journey. Now let’s get back to work. 😅 #diml #dayinmylife #personaltrainer #busyday
