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 […]
Category Archives: Andrew’s Daily Emails For Dublin Dads:
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. You […]
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 […]
Any of you football fans would have heard this over the weekend. It’s becoming the tag line for Jamie Vardy, the Leicester City striker. Last season he was kinda a laughing stock in the Premier League. Seen as a lower league player out of his depth. But this season, all those people who were talking […]
You’ll know form following my emails that I’m fascinated by “triggers”. You know, that final straw moment. Where something happens to you, and you suddenly wake up & go f#ck I need to do something about this. NOW Usually with the lads that start with me on Bulletproof Dad they see a picture of themselves, […]
Had a client start back with me this week. He’d been away skiing, so hadn’t seen him for a couple of weeks. Before he headed off, we had dedicated our training sessions to building up his strength. Especially in key areas like his legs & core. So that he could keep up with his “super […]
