ITS NOT ALL ABOUT NUTRITION😮 - If you have ever been remotely interested in getting in shape, you will have heard some version of the saying ‘Its all about nutrition’ or ‘Its 80% diet’ etc. 🍏🥦🍗 - Now I am not saying nutrition isn’t a major and vital component into changing your body shape and improving your health, this post is more to address the fact that most of you simply don’t work hard enough.🤷🏽‍♂️... - That majority of people I see in the gym, including many clients simply don’t want to put in the effort when it comes to their training.🥵 - People will give up too easily, not increase the weight when necessary, totally disregard exercise execution all simply because it is difficult to do. Its not an easy task to get in shape, so don’t assume your half arsed workouts are going to get you looking like that person you idolise.🤔 - Fix your mindset first, get your head in the game, be prepared to work hard, be in pain, be uncomfortable, cry maybe... clients that have cried you know who you are 👀😂 - Hope this gave some of you the tough love you need to get the finger out and put the work in💪🏽 . . . . . #puregympaisley #coach #puregym #paisley #glasgow #instafit #progress #gymlife #shredded #cardio #aesthetics #fitnessaddict #fitspiration #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmodel #healthylife #fitnessmotivation #dedication #physique #gains #lift #fitnessjourney #fitnesslife

I feel better on a daily basis in terms of energy and focus levels, all the while still allowing myself time to socialise.📈... - Im Bigger, Leaner & Stronger and this is why...💪🏽 - I always had very similar mindset towards training but the nutritional and even more so recovery based knowledge I have gained matched up with the accountability of having one the industries best coaches in my corner is working wonders for me. @luke_themusclementors 🧙🏽‍♂️ - Better me is a better coach and I have seen the benefits in my business from the higher energy levels, focus on applicable knowledge I have gained already.👌🏽 -

TRAINING UNILATERALLY💪🏽 - This is simply training one limb or half of your body seperately to the other. - Having some exercises in your program that you perform in this manner can help in a number of ways such as.🤓... - Correct muscular imbalances, occassionally relieve 'injuries' or niggles which normally have occurred from poor execution or muscle activation and allow you to get a better mind muscle connection with certain muscle groups where you may have previously struggled or only felt one side.🙁 - Here I am performing a Single Leg Leg Press which allows for greater hip flexion and therefore better glute recruitment as well as ensuring I can perform similarly between both my legs.👌🏽 . . . . . #discoveryourpotential #instafit #fitnessmotivation #shredded #gymlife #fitnessaddict #aesthetics #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmodel #fitnessmotivation #shredded #gymlife #fitspiration #fitnessaddict #aesthetics #fitnessmodel #personaltrainer #puregympaisley #coach #strength #progress #transformation

CHASING THE BURN IS HOLDING YOU BACK - 🔥Training soley for 'the burn' is a guaranteed way to ensure you are making subpar progress, yes it hurts, you feel it, you sweat. However you are missing one of the main stimulus' that produces growth...Mechanical Tension. - 🤷🏽‍♂️I could tell you to do 1000 star jumps, it would hurt, you would feel it burn, you would sweat but would you think thats going to change your shape? Why would it be any different for another exercise?... - 💪🏽If you want to really change your body, you need to learn to execute exercises effectively (actually feel your muscle working during the exercise) then overload your exercises (+ weight/reps/sets/execution) - 🎂Focusing on the burn is like decorating a cake you havent even baked yet, your doing the final 5% before the first 95% of hard work. - 🏋🏽‍♂️ Do the hard stuff first, progressively make it harder, then you can think about decorating your workouts with supersets, burnout sets & all the other intensifiers if they are necessary. - - - . . . . . #discoveryourpotential #instafit #fitnessmotivation #shredded #gymlife #fitnessaddict #aesthetics #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmodel #fitnessmotivation #shredded #gymlife #fitspiration #fitnessaddict #aesthetics #fitnessmodel #personaltrainer #puregympaisley #coach #strength #progress #transformation

Current Physique Condition - Now all.things business have calmed down I have a better structure, less working ours & more balance. I have finally been able to prioritise my recovery & it has made big changes already. - I am up around 1kg in the past week and a bit whikst maintain a rather lean physique, could not be happier with how everything is progressing at the moment!... - Recovery is probably the biggest factor holding you back from making progress, if you cannot recover, you cannot grow, you will struggle to drop weight, you will to make progress. - Make stress reduction, nutrition & sleep your priority for a week or two and i promise you will notice the difference. - - - #discoveryourpotential #bodytransformation #lean #bulking #muscle #aesthetics #bodybuilding #physique #ifbb #strength #power #fitness #model #puregym #puregympaisley #personaltrainer #shredded #motivation #instafit

How To Stop Missing Out On Gainz - Alot of gyms are missing certain pieces of kit you may want to use or that is part of your program. So rather than just missing out those exercises and the potential for growth, alter machines and experiment to make it work for you. - This does require some thinking so I have provided 3 alterations in the video above.... - My gym doesn't currently have a lying hamstring curl, which in technical terms means you cant train the fully shortened position of the hamstring (simply - your missing out on some hamstring gainz) so i have attached some ankle cuffs to a cable & lay on a bench. I may look like an idiot, but who will be laughing when I have some awesome hamstrings?🙄 - Hack Squat can have a big difference in difficultly at different points of the range of motion, normally meaning you cannot use as much weight incase you get stuck. Add some resistance bands, which allow you to create more evenly distributed tension through the full movement.🤓 - My gym also doesnt have a Hip Extension machine, so a bench to hinge over and something to pin my feet in place works pretty well, yes i lose a little bit of range of motion, the bench digs into my quads and squashes the 'area that god intended only to be treated nicely' (bonus points for those who know where that quote is from) But I managed a great glute contraction & it will be staying in!🍑 - Hope this helped guys😁 - - - . . . . . #instafit #fitnessmotivation #cardio #shredded #gymlife #fitspiration #fitnessaddict #aesthetics #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmodel #fatloss #instafit #fitnessmotivation #cardio #shredded #gymlife #fitspiration #fitnessaddict #aesthetics #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmode #ig_scot #igersglasgow #scotspirit #puregympaisley

Benefits Of A Smith Machine - The Smith machine in general gets a lot of hate in the training world, mainly because its not free weights & people seem to think that means its easier, doesnt count or whatever nonsense they have heard.🙄 - In truth, it provides a more stable base to contract from, you dont need to worry about stablising & controlling the weight or yourself for that matter, you can focus purely on controlling the negatives, maintaining tension in the desired musc...le, then contracting hard without tension going where you dont want it.😀 - In addittion to this, if you have done some free weight work earlier in your session, you struggle to maintain core stability just through fatigue, so minimising the need to stabilise yourself allows you to focus purely on output and training hard af!📈 - - - #instafit #fitnessmotivation #cardio #shredded #gymlife #fitspiration #aesthetics #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmodel #diet #weightloss #fatloss #gymislife #liftingweights #gainz #gymmotivation #bodygoals #gymflow #personaltraining #diet #ifbb #gymshark #puregym #puregympaisley #coach #physique #competitor #bodybuilding #strength #transformation

HIGH VOLUME ARM WORKOUT💪 - Truthfully I havent done an 'Arm Day' in years, as honestly it is not optimal, or even necessary for arm growth, I will usually throw a few sets in at the end of any upper body days to provide extra volume.📈 - However sometimes its just fun to do a bit of bro, arm pump workout - so @gavin.dav_insta_son decided we would do DTP training, slightly altered.💪... - •Seated Bicep Curls / Skullcrushers - 50,40,30,20,10 •Tricep Pushdown / Cable Curls - 50,40,30,20,10 • Increasing weight while lowering reps. - Despite being a 600rep workout - focus was good quality contractions on every rep which ment alot of squeezing little pink dumbbells.😫 - - - Safe to say we got a good arm pump & will not be able to straighten our arms for a while😂 #instafit #fitnessmotivation #cardio #shredded #gymlife #fitspiration #aesthetics #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmodel #diet #weightloss #fatloss #gymislife #liftingweights #gainz #gymmotivation #bodygoals #gymflow #personaltraining #diet #ifbb #gymshark #puregym #puregympaisley #coach #physique #competitor #bodybuilding #strength #transformation

Few More Delt Exercises🔥 - First attempt at an edit using the go pro app thanks @elationfitnesstraining for the recommendation.👌 - Few exercises from my quick delt workout tonight, left the session too late from being so tired through the day, but if you cant work through a little bit of tiredness how can you expect to make big changes!? 💪... - Picked up that i struggle to fully contract my left rear delt on my reverse flys, this is why videoing your exercises can be so beneficial. 😮 - Even if the gym was mobbed, i got alot of funny looks from my attempt and propping up my phone but hey, I have found a weakness for me to work on & managed to produce some content for you guys so im happy 😁 - #instafit #fitnessmotivation #cardio #shredded #gymlife #fitspiration #aesthetics #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmodel #diet #weightloss #fatloss #gymislife #liftingweights #gainz #gymmotivation #bodygoals #gymflow #personaltraining #diet #ifbb #gymshark #puregym #puregympaisley #coach #physique #competitor #bodybuilding #strength #transformation

Post Munchie Box Physique Check😂 - So decided to take this week to be more lax with my food, allow a daily meal of 'Junk' food & then snacking too. - In all honesty I think as much as it wasnt tracked, or thought out in any way - #wingingit - my body has responded pretty well, workouts have felt good this week, body seem to be staying pretty lean.... - This is down to the calorie increase not becausd the junk food is improving my performance, it has caused some bloating & digestion issues which is why it wont be a regular thing even through my gaining phase I am about to start. - Just a small update for you guys & a reminder that what you do every so often will not outweigh what you do the majority. . . . . . #instafit #fitnessmotivation #cardio #shredded #gymlife #fitspiration #fitnessaddict #aesthetics #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmodel #weightloss #fatloss #gymmotivation #liftingweights #gainz #bodygoals #gymflow #liftheavyshit #personaltraining #ironaddict #ifbb #gymshark #puregym #puregympaisley #coach #physique #competitor #bodybuilding #strength #transformation

- HOW YOU CAN BURN EXTRA CALORIES - Your diet is specific to you, your body, your activity level, your goals. Copying someone elses diet, probably not a smart move. -... Simply dont be a lazy waster, your 1 hour gym session (which you most likely didnt train THAT hard in) cant be the only calories you burn. So get up more, move more & dont be lazy. - Certain food choices can have a small extra calorie burn, it may be a small bonus, but every little helps #tesco . . . . . #instafit #fitnessmotivation #cardio #shredded #gymlife #fitspiration #fitnessaddict #aesthetics #getfit #noexcuses #fitnessmodel #gymislife #liftingweights #gainz #trainlikeabeast #gymflow #liftheavyshit #personaltraining #liftheavy #trainhardorgohome #scotland #paisley #puregympaisley #weightloss #fatloss #transformation #pt

Top PT, can't recommend Scott enough, he has helped me so much with training and I now have the confidence to lift weights properly with him and on my own, I wouldn't go with anyone else! ��

Had my last session with Scott at Optimize Coahing today. If you’re looking for a 1-1 PT or even online coaching I can’t recommend this guy enough!

I’ve lost over 6.5kg training with him. He celebrated my wins, encouraged and motivated me through my fails, put up with my constant moans, stupid faces, donut addiction, random questions and nonsensical chat between sets!

He’s also a shit hot PT, really knows his stuff, and is constantly growing his knowledge through research and implementing that in his own, and his clients training.

We ended our final session with me in tears... Because I couldn’t stop laughing! If you train with Scott, it’s always a good giggle, he’s super easy going and wants to get the best out of his clients.

Great PT with the full package, knowledge, commitment and dedication. Always pushes me to do my best even when I feel like giving up!!



Scott has helped me on numerous occasions to reach various different goals, recently he has helped me to lose 2.5kg in just 5 short weeks! I ask a question he always has the answer and if not, he will find out for me!



I would recommend Scott to absolutely anyone of any age. He is so friendly and approachable, you know you will always enjoy your sessions �
