Coach Jackson

Prioritise
real change

The fitness industry is in a mess. It's now harder than ever to sift through the noise and find trustworthy coaches that have your best interests at heart. In a world of misinformation, fads, and apparent quick fixes, this is your opportunity to work with me and prioritise real, sustainable change.

What my clients say...

Jackson designed a great workout plan and diet that was tailored to my goals, schedule and lifestyle. He not only made it suitably challenging but good fun and easy to follow. I would 100% recommend him to anyone, whether it’s to get started or ratchet things up a notch.

2024 has been a belter of a year for adventure so far… lets keep the momentum going ⛰️ 🚶‍♂️ 🌄

Throughout my coaching and own training I’ve really been locking in on TEMPO this week…. What do I mean by that?

Simply put, tempo is just the speed at which you perform each phase of any exercise. We can think of four distinct parts….

1️⃣ The eccentric phase (muscle lengthens) e.g. you letting the weight down on a bicep curl
2️⃣ The pause at the bottom, with the muscle in the lengthened position.
3️⃣ The concentric phase (muscle shortening) e.g. lifting the bar off the floor during a deadlift.
4️⃣ The pause at the top, with the muscle in the shortened position.

You may have seen each part displayed in seconds. With the above order, you can see that in the video that I am roughly following a 3-0-1-1 tempo for a horizontal row variant.

BUT why is tempo important to think about? It’s not just for body builders looking to build more muscle. Keep swiping to learn more ➡️

Re. World mental health day. The gist is that I’d love to be there to show up for you in the way my community has for me, time and time again. If you ever do want to speak about anything, I’m here. That’s all 😊

Stop trying to be someone you’re not. It’s time to get out of your own way. We only start to truly flourish when we explore our authentic self.

Working with Harry has felt like a real partnership 🤝 it’s an absolute pleasure mate.

If you think that this PT thing is a one way street then you’re mistaken…. I’ve taken so much positive energy and learning from working with Harry.

Feeling very lucky to now call this work 🍀

Regardless of your goal, my responsibility is to meet you where you’re at. As I have said before, it is from this point that we go on a journey TOGETHER, figuring out what does and doesn’t work. We keep iterating till we find that flow and then we see where the road takes us.

Do reach out if you’re looking to take that next step on your fitness and wellbeing journey - I’d love to help 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today the biggest win was getting the work done DESPITE how I felt ✅ Showing up was enough. Completing the session was a bonus….

It’s normal to feel a bit flat at this time of the year. I definitely do. The change in weather always hits hard 💨 🌧️

I just want you to know that you’re not alone 🫂 and it’s more than ok to feel a bit ‘meh’ (that’s the technical term). Not every day has to be one to remember… it’s ok to wave it away and start fresh tomorrow 👋 🌅

Keep plodding team 💪

A reminder that we have dreams for a reason. Lay the foundations and you might just be in with a chance of reaching them 🧗

Raw beauty - the Kyrgyz Republic 🇰🇬

I’ve taken time today to reflect on how lucky and privileged I feel to go on trips like this.

It can be very easy to focus on what’s wrong in the world. I’ve started to notice that viewing these problems from a position of privilege can often leave me with a level of guilt that seeps into otherwise good experiences. Sometimes there is an overwhelming sense that I simply don’t deserve to be this fortunate.

The truth is though that this approach helps no-one. It’s a zero sum game. It’s ok to be passionate and care about external issues without whipping yourself for enjoying the good stuff. In fact, they are very much reconcilable.

The alternative is that I beat myself up, forgoing the enjoyment of my own life to worry about problems that I largely cannot control. By realising that the two do not have to be mutually exclusive, I know that when the time is right I will have more energy to try and make my small difference in this world, without it chipping away at my enjoyment of the here and now.

Lots of reflecting today 💭

I’ve received (and continue to) so much support and love from my community. They’ve lifted me up time and time again. I feel so fortunate to now be in a position where I can do the same for others. It’s truly energising.

Keep rising 💪

Keep swiping to learn the basics of carbohydrates ➡️
I reckon the key takeaways are:

1.) Carbs have the same metabolic fate (mostly glucose), meaning a calorie is still a calorie. In terms of energy balance, 100kcal of table sugar is equivalent to 100kcal of any other carb (e.g. Brocolli). The problem here lies in the fact that one is much more palatable than the other, meaning you’re likely going to consume more of it. The result? More calories, increasing the likelihood of being in energy surplus and therefore gaining weight.

2.) For health, the type of carb really does matter. Whether that’s its glycemic index, level of fiber or its micronutrient content, we always have a choice to make. In the same example as above, this is why we intuitively know that it’s night and day that 100kcal of brocolli is better for us than the equivalent serving of table sugar.

Any questions or comments, don’t be afraid to message me. These posts are designed to shine a light on what really matters without getting stuck in the weeds. There is so much misleading information on my Instagram feed that sometimes I don’t even know where to start. I hope this provides a small but welcome signal in a sea of noise.

LONDON ➡️ PARIS

Absolute pleasure working with you mate - you’re a knowledge sponge! Great to see you put it all into practice too, especially so for the big event. Onwards and upwards from here 📈

Here’s what Ben had to say:
“You were great at tailoring to my needs, and as someone who does like the detail, you were able to provide plenty of material! Looking forward to moving forward in to the winter. It’s also so obvious you really care about this, and I love the focus on the nutritional side which is so often overlooked or not properly understood”

It’s so easy to find yourself outside in nature, head down, oblivious to your surroundings ⛰️

Sometimes all you have to do is stop and look up ⬆️

In doing so, you start to find the power of bringing your attention to the present moment… after all, there is nowhere else to be.

When I arrived at the gym today I was annoyed that jet lag and a slight cold were impacting my training quality…

How ridiculous is that?

After having a word with myself, I started to change the narrative. We have to move the goal posts and realise that sometimes the biggest win is simply turning up.

Today I’m listening to my body and training accordingly. I’m not recording RPE, tracking weight meticulously, or worrying about PRs…. It’s simply a case of getting some work done and leaving the gym feeling better than when I arrived.

Keep plodding! 🚶🏻

No amount of fighting or resistance will change certain situations in our life. How then, do we change ourselves to accommodate them?

I’ve developed an evidence-based, easy to use, ‘energy toolkit’ ⚡️ that I use with my clients to enable data-driven changes in lean body and fat mass. The calculators provided draw on the best evidence available in this space. The document includes:

✅ Energy Intake Calculator
✅ Energy Balance
✅ Body Fat % Calculator
✅ Macronutrient Planner
✅ Weight Log

Every client brings their own nuance and story, but having a strong, evidenced based starting point allows us to make objective decisions about the direction we then take. This is purely a reliable enabler of what comes next.

If you fancy a copy, just DM me and I’d be more than happy to share.

I often succumb to information overload 🤯 cutting through the noise has never been more challenging.

My attention struggles at the best of times. Ultimately I have to set boundaries and move back to the basics of prioritisation 🎯 None of us can keep up with more than a handful of things at once.

As I mentioned in a previous post, all we really have is ‘now’. Our attention in this present moment. Where will you focus it?

Do you understand the fundamentals of dietary fat? If not, keep swiping to learn more ➡️

The internet will try to confuse you… but stick to nailing 🔨 these basics and you won’t go far wrong ⬇️

Given important anabolic and hormonal effects of dietary fat, consuming at least 20% (of calories) is recommended to support good hormonal health and performance. To optimise, an intake of 40% of energy may be advisable, as long as it isn’t accompanied by unsustainably low carbohydrates levels.

Generally, PUFAs > MUFAs > SFAs. However, they are all important so focus on a balance from good sources. For example:
1️⃣ Saturated - dairy, meat, coconut or chocolate...
2️⃣ Mono-unsaturated - olives, avocado, nuts, eggs...
3️⃣ Poly-unsaturated - fatty fish... this should also take care of your Omega-3 intake.

I’ll come back to cholesterol in a later post...

A reminder to stop majoring on the minors ❌ Shoot the crocodile closest to the boat 🐊

I am as guilty as anyone of over indexing on supplements. Don’t get me wrong, they have a role (I’ll cover this in a future post) but before exploring how they could help you, ask yourself these questions first ⬇️

😴 How’s my sleep duration and quality? How do I feel when I wake up each morning?

🍱 What am I putting in my body? Is there a good balance of protein, fats and carbs from whole, organic sources? Am I eating too many highly processed foods?

🏃‍♂️ How am I moving my body? Am I getting my heart rate up most days for at least 30 minutes? Am I spending time outside in nature?

🧠 How’s my mental health? Have I spoken to someone about the problems I’m struggling with? Have I written them down?

BUT, nailing all four is a constant struggle. So let’s start with the low hanging fruit 🍇 For me, it’s definitely sleep at the moment. And so this is a reminder for myself to put the screens away, wind down, dive in to a good book, dim the lights and give myself any opportunity I can to get a good night’s kip 🛌

What’s going to be your focus? 🔍 Feel free to contact me if you’d like utilise evidenced-based strategies to address the fundamentals.

In the mean time… Night night! 💤

I’m getting into this… HUGE effort from Rachel for committing to the game plan and reaping the rewards!

Let’s build on this momentum 💪

If you’re anything like me, you’ll sometimes find 1001 excuses to avoid that first step…

I am continuing to learn that the truth is not glamorous. It may seem harsh but it’s also fair. You simply have to take that first step🚶🏻

As @chriswillx said:
“Preparing to do the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Scheduling time to do the thing isn’t doing the thing.
Talking about doing the thing and doing the thing view for the same resources”

The solution? Just do the thing ✅

I find that once I take that first step the next one always feels a bit easier. I think you’ll all know that feeling of getting stuck in to your to-do list…once the first few are out of the way you build momentum. You find that flow!

This is where the following saying comes from: “if you want something doing, ask a busy person”

Keep going 💪

Do you understand the fundamentals of protein? If not, keep swiping to learn more ➡️

The internet will try to confuse you… but stick to nailing 🔨 these basics and you won’t go far wrong ⬇️

✅ At least 50% of your protein intake from high quality sources.

✅ Aim for at least 0.3 g/kg protein at every meal to cover the leucine threshold and maximise muscle protein synthesis over the whole day.

✅ Aim to conusme 1.6-1.8g/kg/d. Aim for more like 2-2.2 if you’re on a veggie or vegan diet.

✅ As a rule of thumb for trained individuals, allocate 50% more protein to post-workout meals.
