My name’s Tom, I’m 25 and have been training for roughly 4-5 years. I used to work as a lifeguard at a pool/gym complex - which made training and eating right slightly more straightforward. I now work during the week for a bank in the city, which has taken some adjustments to keep my training and diet on track. In addition, I currently work on weekends for Abercrombie, as a topless greeter, further focusing my desire to maintain my physique and improve.

My main goal has always been to look, and be, as natural as possible while having a respectable and proportional lean muscle mass. I’ve never wanted to be ‘enormous’, and I’ve never trained for the purposes of a sporting goal. It has merely been an aesthetic based aim to keep improving upon the appearance of my physique. I also don’t deny myself too many pleasures in life, I keep my diet as reasonable and mainstream as possible while also tailoring it to my needs and goals.

I will be providing realistic nutritional and training tips, combined with advice on how you can make the most of limited time in the gym and keep your diet on track – even behind a desk. With a few tweaks to your current routine, it can be done – with great results.

The general dietary rules in a nutshell I follow are; Limit sugar to very little/none. Eg. No fizzy drinks ever. Limit substantial amounts of carbs to morning and before workouts. Eat little and often, not huge amounts in one go. Plenty of water, this will help recovery and minimise hunger. 2L approx per day.
