straight from the chicken’s butt

Lately I’ve been having eggs for dinner.

But I was on chicken duty this morning. And since I let the girls out the coop, I got first dibs on the spoils 😎

Three beautiful eggs, in a neat little pile just for me.

And these eggs were so fresh that they were still friggin warm when I nabbed em.

But, while I sit here enjoying my breaky…

I can’t help thinking that there’s only been five minutes since that breaky came out a chicken’s butt.

Anyway. Speaking of things that come out of butts.

You know what’s a big fat pile of BS????

Losing weight slowly.

“B-b-b-but if you lose it fast you’ll just gain it back!!!! 

Oh REALLY? 😤

What a crock of nonsense.

When it comes to keeping weight you lose off:

How fast you lose weight has nothing to do with it.

How dumb the stuff you do to lose it does.

Naturally, you’re gonna be working harder and taking things a little more aggressive if you want fast losses. It’s stuff like intermittent fasting, axing carbs entirely, cutting out the fun bits like choccy and social events.

Those things as part of a plan are totally fine.

But when you just blind gun it…

Make yourself absolutely freakin miserable…

And then eventually go out in a blaze of high calorie, deep fried glory?

Was it the speed, or was it the strategy?

I’ve had clients absolutely MOTOR through weight loss, but we had a plan. We set a weekly target, dialled in the input and output to meet it, and made sure we had enough fun stuff built in to stay the course.

And maybe most important: we had an exit strategy. 

We went into it knowing when it was gonna end, knowing how to reset, and knowing when to get back to work for another fast, sustainable sprint.

That’s how to lose weight fast.

And it’s why I got such a freaky high strike rate and elite client satisfaction with my transformations 🤩

This client blasted 10kg off and says: 

For anyone struggling to make that change, even if you have been trying for years!! Benjamin is your guy. He will get you the results you want and then some, there is no denying it. 

If that’s you, keep your eyes peeled for my next 1:1 coaching program intake.

Spots go fast, but in the meantime send over questions you have on coaching or getting jacked in general.

I read ‘em all, and I reply to the best.

why boring is BETTER for your beach body

EP. 01

Listen up dogs.

I’m acting like this is an actual podcast, but it’s just me making it easy to give you info.

In this case, on this maiden (and who knows, maybe I’ll hate doing this and it might be the final) voyage:

We cover why the hell you should stop worrying about things being fun and fresh and exciting in your training…

And why boring might be BETTER for your beach body.

So crank it up, listen on your way to the gym, and get better at getting better.

Welcome to The Monday Drive.

the 1, 2, 7 to get absolutely gorgeous

I’m selling on Facebook Marketplace right now, and I’m doing it smart.  

I’m heavy on gym equipment to sell, and extremely light on patience when it comes to all the BS that comes with it. 

So, I’m selling cheap.

I’m accepting I won’t get premium rates. But in exchange, I get a lot: 

I’ll get rid of things fast. I’ll be able to skip all the nicey-nice chit chat and get to the sellin’. And I’ll get to be a massive doodle to anyone being a tosser, cos I’ve got what they want at a steal 😈 

And to make it super easy, I included all the need to know info that usually makes up the bulk of stupid questions you get. 

I explained why I was selling, what I wouldn’t deal with, where I was located, and when I’d reply. 

And confident with my planning, I launched my ads. 

I’M SELLING MY COMMERCIAL GRADE GYM KIT. AND I’M SELLING IT CHEAP!!!!  

i wasted cash keeping it stored for my home gym but i changed my mind and want it gone.  

i am also a grumpy b@stard and don’t wanna deal with tyre kickers and turkeys so if you can take it or leave it for someone else to grab, but don’t be annoying 🤣 

here’s the deal:  

*first come, first serve  

*I only reply end of day because im getting bombed with messages  

*I will possibly be a little blunt due to the volume of enquiry  

if you can handle that, here’s the details:  [insert specifics]  

COLLECTION IS xxxxxxxxxx AND IF THE AD IS LIVE, IT HAS NOT BEEN PICKED UP YET AND YOU CAN MESSAGE.  

And guys. 

Listen in. 

When I tell you that I’ve absolutely cracked the code on pain-free Facebook selling? 

It’ll be a big, fat lie.  

🥴 

That was the most agonising experience of my entire month.

Look, I wrote my ad at a third grade reading level. 

So either a bunch of second grade children (with adults posing as their profile pictures) was on the prowl for gym equipment last night… 

Or the 76 people that messaged me last night JUST CAN’T FREAKING READ?! 

Like, one guy messaged and told me he couldn’t see the price??? 

Brother, you can’t post an ad without a price? And this platform puts it in the same place, every time? 

So you’ve got a problem with either reading or seeing, and neither of those things are what I teach. 

Far out, man. 

I have straight up never dealt with so many freaking IDIOTS in such a short span of time. 

Just a non-stop torrent of absolute twits asking me questions that clearly didn’t listen to anything I said.  

For goodness sake. I just wanna give you guys a good deal and make it easy for everyone. 

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS LISTEN 😫 

Ah, well. You can’t help everyone. Life goes on.  

And while I spent my morning throwing all my gym equipment in the bin to scorn those who scorned me, I had a thought: 

This is precisely why I am so ruthless about working with only ideal clients. 

I have absolutely zero qualms talking about how successful my coaching process is for my clients. But before culling anyone who wasn’t a perfect fit for my style, I remember agonising constantly over the same issue. 

I’d tell my clients to the letter what they needed to do to finally get in their dream shape. I’d spoon feed them the right training volumes, nutrition protocols and psychological strategy to just about guarantee success. 

And they’d just ignore what I said, and then piss and moan about getting nowhere. 

And just the same as these Facebook fudgewits, all you had to do was listen.  

But also the same: you can’t help everyone. 

So now, I work exclusively with the kinda cats that want what I deliver: 

A top-to-bottom blueprint for getting in world class shape and putting it on autopilot. 

But also meet my criteria, which includes (but is not limited to) being able to see, read and listen to WHAT THE HELL I’VE GOT TO SAY 🤣 

Alright. Enough raging. 

Last week, I said I’d post up about the coaching spot I had opening.

This is that post. 

But now I’m worried about the strength of my dummy filter. So if you want in, do exactly the following: 

*1. Hit reply 

*2. Type ‘Details’ 

*7. Include the digit at the start of this line so I know you can see numbers lol 

If you can do that, I’ll send you the rest of my criteria and we can go from there.

First come, first served.
