If your glutes aren’t growing despite training consistently and eating enough…

There’s a good chance you’re making one of these mistakes. 👇🏻

🍑 Mistake #1: Lifting your toes off the floor

You’ve probably heard “drive through your heels” a thousand times.

The problem? A lot of people take that literally and lift their toes.

That instantly makes you less stable.

Instead, create pressure through your entire foot. Big toe, little toe and heel all connected to the floor.

The more stable you are, the more force you can produce… and the better your glutes can do their job.

🍑 Mistake #2: Treating every rep like a race

If you’re throwing the weight up and letting it crash back down, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity for growth.

Your glutes should be working through the entire rep, not just at the top.

✔️ Control the lowering phase.
✔️ Keep tension throughout.
✔️ Finish every rep with an intentional squeeze.

Building glutes isn’t about using the most weight.

It’s about making every rep count.

Slow it down, stay stable, and your glutes will thank you.

Save this for your next lower body session and let me know if you’ve been making either of these mistakes. 👇🏻

Kerry was never someone who was afraid of hard work.
The problem was, all of that effort was going in the wrong direction.

She was training hard, doing loads of cardio, barely eating through the day and then ending up starving at night. She wanted to build muscle and feel better in herself, but the way she was approaching things was leaving her exhausted and getting her nowhere.

And underneath all of that was a massive lack of confidence.

Now? Completely different person.

Kerry has gone from 55kg to sitting around 62-65kg, built a serious amount of muscle and completely changed the way she approaches training and nutrition.
She’s even got her sights set on stepping on stage one day 👀

But for me, the biggest win has nothing to do with the number on the scales.

It’s watching someone who used to struggle with confidence become someone who backs herself.
She’s a mam with five kids. Life is ALWAYS going to throw something at her. The difference now is she doesn’t use that as a reason to give up for the week.

She adapts, finds a solution and keeps moving forward.
She’s realised that giving herself an hour to train isn’t selfish. It makes her feel better, show up better and sets an example for her kids that looking after yourself matters.

This is why coaching is about so much more than sets, reps and calories.
Yes, we build bodies.

But we’re also building confidence, standards and a completely different mindset along the way.

Proud of you Kerry 💙

And we’re nowhere near finished yet.

People love talking about the outcome.

They want to lose the weight.
Build muscle.
Feel confident.
Have more energy.

But they don’t want to do the things that actually get them there.

The workouts when they’re tired.
The meal prep when it’s easier to order a takeaway.
The consistency when nobody’s checking in.

You can’t keep expecting your life to change if your habits stay the same.

Nobody is coming to save you.

Your coach can’t do the reps.
Your partner can’t make your choices.
Your friends can’t build your discipline.

You either make excuses, or you make progress.

It’s that simple.

Every decision you make today is taking you closer to your goals or further away from them.

Choose wisely.

You vs you. Every single day. 💪

Your shoulders don’t know how much weight you’re lifting.

They only know how much tension they’re under.
Too many people chase heavier dumbbells while sacrificing technique, then wonder why their shoulders never grow.

Next time you shoulder press, forget your ego.

Focus on:
Keeping your core braced.
Tucking your pelvis under.
Pressing in a straight line.

Stopping just before lockout to keep tension on the delts.
You might have to reduce the weight...

But you’ll finally make your shoulders do the work.
Save this for your next upper body session. 💪

When Kerry first came to me, she wasn’t lacking effort.

She was lacking direction.

She’d train hard, under-eat all day, then wonder why she’d end up eating huge meals at night.

👉She was smashing cardio, feeling exhausted during workouts and struggling to build any muscle despite putting in the work.

But the biggest battle wasn’t just physical.
It was her confidence.

Fast forward to today...
👊🏻Kerry doesn’t just walk into the gym... she owns the room.

She’s gone from 55kg to 62-65kg by building muscle, completely changed her relationship with training, and now has goals of stepping on stage one day.

But the weight gain isn’t the transformation.

The mindset is.

She stopped looking for excuses and started finding solutions.

She learned that putting herself first for an hour a day doesn’t make her a bad mam. It makes her a healthier, happier one, and an incredible role model for her children.

As coaches, we don’t just hand out training plans and meal plans.

We help people become the version of themselves they’ve spent years believing they couldn’t be.

I’m incredibly proud of everything Kerry has achieved, but I know we’re only just getting started. 💙

If Kerry’s story resonates with you, DM me the word “TRANSFORM” and let’s chat!

STOP letting your lower back do your hamstring curls. 👀

If you always feel your lower back more than your hamstrings on the lying leg curl, try this.

By elevating your upper body, you reduce the temptation to arch through your lower back and keep the tension where you actually want it... your hamstrings.

✅ Training alone? Pop a medicine ball under your chest.
✅ Training with a partner? Get them to apply gentle pressure to your lower back to stop you extending through the movement.

One warning... don’t be surprised if you have to reduce the weight.

That’s not because you’ve got weaker. It’s because your hamstrings are finally doing the work instead of your lower back helping out.

Remember, moving the most weight doesn’t always build the most muscle.

Making the target muscle do more of the work does.
Give this a try on your next leg day and let me know if you feel the difference. 👇

When Tyne joined CAL507, losing weight wasn’t the biggest goal.
She wanted to feel like herself again.
Somewhere between work, being a mum and putting everyone else first, she’d lost her confidence, her routine and the person she used to be.
Over the last few months, she didn’t just lose body fat.
She rebuilt the habits that changed everything.
✅ She became consistent.
✅ She showed up for herself.
✅ She took back control.
One thing she said during our interview has stuck with me...
“I didn’t think finding myself again would be achievable in four or five months.”
That’s why I coach the way I do.
Anyone can hand you a meal plan.
My job is to help you build the habits, mindset and accountability that mean you never have to keep starting over.
Tyne went from 64.9kg ➡️ 58.6kg, but the biggest transformation wasn’t the number on the scales.
It was becoming the version of herself she’d been missing.
Couldn’t be prouder of you, Tyne. ❤️
If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll start on Monday, next month, or when life finally “calms down”...
Take this as your sign to stop waiting.
📩 DM me “TRANSFORM” and let’s build the version of you that’s been waiting underneath it all.

🐶 The Adventures of Colin… aka Clubber the Flump 🐾

Another week, another load of adventures for the little legend… ❤️

🐾 Been out exploring on plenty of walks, sniffing absolutely everything.
💧 Got himself a fancy new filtered water fountain, so he’s now drinking cold, fresh water like the little prince he thinks he is.
🧩 Got a brand new enrichment game to keep that clever little brain working. He’s already getting the hang of it and absolutely loves the challenge.
🎾 Went down to HQ in South Shields to see Cath and Kate… and within minutes he’d completely destroyed a rubber ball. Safe to say he left his mark. 🤣
🐶 Had a brilliant play with his mate Woody.
💕 Even went on his first little date with Maple the Chihuahua. I think Colin was trying to impress her… not sure she knew what to make of him. 😂
💈 And every day without fail, he makes sure Dad gets a full grooming session by licking my face, ears and hair. Apparently that’s now part of my morning routine.

He’s growing in confidence every week, making new friends wherever he goes and learning something new every day. Watching him figure things out and his little personality come out more and more has been one of the best parts of having him.

The best part? No matter how much fun he’s had, he still ends every day exactly where he wants to be… curled up beside his dad. ❤️

This little Flump has completely stolen my heart, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Until next week’s adventures… 🐶💙
