Trying to be the best coach and gardener I can possibly be

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

@piersmorgan Awful human being

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

@JustStop_Oil What I set of dickheads you are

Absolutely no good to your cause whatsoever

Seeing that makes me want to pollute just so I’m not like you.

I believe in change and I’m very conscious of my environment

But destroying gardens is a twats trick and not the way forward

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

If you want to be at your best

Then a quality training program
needs to be part of your weekly routine

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

2 methods I wished I did early in my coaching career to help with weight loss/fat loss that I use now.

1. Put my clients on their favourite weight loss method

2. Used a very aggressive deficit to get quick results

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

Your body will solve its
own problems you just
need to give it what it
needs

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

Focus on the small things

It’s in them that your success and strength lies

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

Be faithful in the small things for it’s in them that your strength lies

Fresh week ready

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

What gives you the most confidence?

Is it being strong - fit - fast - jacked?

It will be different to everyone

Thats the beauty of planning your training you can have different focuses throughout the year.

Whatever gives you confidence include more in your training

👊💪

Can’t wait for this week

Big training week

Challenging because of Easter holidays but nothing we can’t work round..

👊👊

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

Don’t be satisfied with being good enough

Good enough is a great song by Dodgy (bit of britpop for you) but other than that its a wank term

Aim to be more

The 🐐s are never happy with good enough

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

If you are looking to build muscle focus on these ⬇️

Overall protein amount throughout the day

When you eat your food and how often - frequency

Your overall calories need to be correct

Use creatine

The timing of when you eat after sessions

The quality (animal v plant)

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

Give yourself 4 hrs a week

That’s 3.5% of the total hours you have awake (assuming you sleep 8hrs per night)

That’s it

4 hrs a week to get that strut on

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

3 ways to get jacked

1. Train hard
2. Eat a lot of protein
3. Walk more

Summer is coming….

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

Things to not fuck around with and keep constant.

Protein intake
Sleep
Biceps on a Friday 💪

That’s it

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

We are more than just a rep counter

We are more than just weight loss

We will help you live a better life

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

Review your week

Not to see where you could have done better

But so you can see where you done right

Gain confidence from that

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

You haven’t failed if you have had a “bad” weekend

Don’t care what you have done this weekend

Eat well today - drink water - train - sleep

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

How many times have you heard

I’m back on the wagon

If you are on the wagon there is a problem

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

Every day you are looking to improve

Does that mean you will ?

No

Some days will be shit

But look past them and keep going

Have faith in yourself and bounce back to build even better.

A good coach can help here

Shock I’m going to say that but it’s also very true !!

[Ben Cooper @MakingAthletes]

The journey is important but so too is the company you keep on the journey

The wrong company can make or break your journey

And spoil the end destination when you get there
