You might have noticed last week my emails were sending at the exact same time each day. Reason being I was on holidays for the week, so I’d scheduled them to go out in advance. Just as well, I was away in Las Vegas and the wifi was surprisingly sh#t. If I had to describe […]

It’s probably the most hated exercise I get the lads to do in the gym having to pull the full weight of yourself up on a bar. When I ask someone to do them for first the time they pretty much laugh in my face “not a f#cking hope I’m doing that mate” is in […]
Was down in Kinsale with the lads over the weekend. Great spot. Can’t beat some sunshine in a seaside town, surrounded by good restaurants & bars. My seafood chowder fetish was well & truly fulfilled ; ) Anyways one of lads I was down there with, has been training with me for the last year […]
The “king of Dublin” Conor McGregor was beaten for the first time in the early hours of Sun morning. And the internet has been divided of opinion since. Obviously all his fans were devastated. But all the haters (and lets face it, he has plenty of them) have found their voice. Including some of the […]
Doing a lot of study at the moment on the area of human behaviour & psychology. See the reality for me as a trainer, despite all the cool stuff you learn about nutrition and the advanced strength & conditioning techniques stand for absolutely nothing unless… you can actually get your client to do it.

Prob the most ego boosting question you can get asked. (unless you’re sporting a body like Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club) Especially when it comes from somebody you haven’t seen for a while. Happens the Bulletproof Dads all the time. The next question is usually “so what have you been doing?” Or something along those […]
Anytime I’m on a strategy call with one of lads who follows these emails. I have about 3 “set” questions I’ll always ask. One of which is about what their food’s like. Just to get an idea of what their eating. And to be honest usually the response I get is “SHITE” In fairness it’s […]
It’s something I regularly get asked from the lads on the BPD program. “Can you do me out a meal plan” Sounds great in theory doesn’t it, being told exactly what to eat & when. takes all the guess work out of it. That’s what I used to think. However with the benefit of experience […]
A few years back, long before I opened Defined Fitness. I used to play a decent amount of 5aside every week. Usually on average 2-3 evenings, loved it. Still do. Only it’s tougher now with being in the gym most evenings, training the lads. I do well to get 1 in a week. But back […]
Just had this sent to be from one of my clients. It’s Rory McIlroy responding to concerns about his “excessive weightlifting in the gym”. An expert fears he’s compromising his golf ability in just for his body image. he cited Tiger Wood’s as an example. Pointing how much time he spent in the gym and […]
