Instead of the usual high repetition based ab workouts like sit up and crunches, this workout is going to incorporate weighted exercises which helps to really build the thickness of your rectus abdominis. This is a circuit based workout so make sure you take little to no rest in-between exercises and take no longer than 45second-1min breaks.

3 sets 

Hanging leg raise – 10-15 repetitions

Rope crunches – 10-15 repetitions

Med ball twists – of 15 reps (either side)

Cable wood chopper – 10-15 reps (each side)

You are going to be on each station for 45 seconds with 15 second break in-between each station.Once you have completed all 10 stations, rest for 2 minutes then repeat 2x. Be sure to warm up before giving this ago and make sure you’ve stretched off all of your major muscle groups. This workout is great for anyone who is trying to lose fat and really shred up.

Training chest Is a favourite for me and I’m probably not speaking for myself when i say that, However i notice that a lot of people stop making progress when it comes to chest and the main reason for that is they use the same exercises week in week out for months and months. Your body eventually gets used to certain exercises and you need to change it up to carry on progressing. So here is my personal chest workout that i recently designed which i i love. This is an advanced chest routine so but its guaranteed to leave you with a great pump and you will be aching for days!

Flat bench dumbbell press drop sets 

12,10,8,6 X 4

Incline dumbbell press superset with incline push ups

10X4 and push ups to failure between every set

Decline dumbbell press superset with push ups

10X4 and push ups to failure between every set

Incline Dumbell fly superset with dips 

10×4 and dips to failure between every set 

High cable cross over drop sets 

12,10,8,6 X 4 

Low cable cross over drop sets 

12.10,8,6 X 4

This month I’m in edinburgh, scotland for work and I’ve been finding it increasingly hard to train since I’ve been sooooo busy! however… I have a few good tips and ideas for anyone who is in my position. Firstly you need to MAKE TIME. Im sure you can all make time to watch your favourite tv show but when it comes to exercising all i ever hear is excuses. Making time to train really isn’t as hard as you think, all you need is a spare few minutes and space to actually train. For example a local park or even your bedroom is fine. Personally I’ve been training a lot outside because Edinburgh has a lot of hills and steps so I’ve been getting in my cardio by running up and down steps or doing hill sprints! If your in a new city or a unfamiliar enviroment you should spend some time exploring and finding cool new places to train. You also don’t need a fancy gym or expensive equipment you can use your own body weight to train, for example push ups, sit ups, dips, pull ups, planking, wall hands stands… the list goes on! If your still not to sure on how to use your own body weight ill be posting some cool workouts or even go on youtube and check some ‘body weight exercises’ for some quick and fun workouts.

Any questions feel free to contact me guys!
