Steve was an avid runner, but wanted to switch it up. He approached me and I introduced him to the main compound lifts; deadlifts, squats, bench press. We worked one on one for a number of weeks before Steve felt confident enough to do everything online.
Steve is a family man, who runs his own business and therefore is fairly time poor. I made sure to give him an exercise programme that worked towards his goals but also fit his lifestyle. He has been on a full body split, training 3 times week while with me, each time he enters the gym he is starting with the Big Three. Each week he practices Power, Hypertrophy and Strength for each of these lifts, a Conjugated type of periodisation. Steve has seen great results, dropping fat and getting stronger. His physique speaks for itself:
I have been working with Steve since June. Initially I worked with him on weight training but, as I learned about his interest in nutrition and natural bodybuilding, I decided to give Revive a go. In 3 months I have hit a weight last seen nearly 14 years ago – when I got married. Further, I am more toned than I have ever been (according to my wife), and have more energy.
The other aspect of Revive that has pleasantly surprised me is how sustainable it is – I have a real weakness for wine, and a bit of a sweet tooth, but can honestly say that I have had to make very few sacrifices. I have been amazed by my progress and would recommend Revive to everyone.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve, and he is a great example of how easy it can be to get results if you put the work in consistently. We are now going to enter a Strength focussed Meso-Cyle and progress this linearly. Currently Steve is enjoyed a much deserved and needed diet break, before going onto drop a few more pounds of fat!
