Some Days You’re Flying. Some Days You’re Fried.

You don’t wake up every day feeling unstoppable.
Some mornings you’re buzzing. Legs feel springy. Bar speed’s there. Life feels under control. Other days? Work’s been heavy, sleep was rubbish, and your head’s already full before you’ve even had coffee.
Both days count.
The mistake most people make is thinking training only “works” when everything lines up perfectly. High energy. High motivation. No stress. No fatigue.
That’s not real life.
Training shouldn’t punish you for being human
If your program only works when you feel amazing, it’s fragile.
Life throws curveballs:
Late shifts
Bad sleep
Stressy weeks
Heavy legs from sport or work
If your training ignores that, you either:
Push when you shouldn’t and flirt with injury, or
Skip sessions and lose momentum
Neither builds confidence.
Showing up matters most on flat days
Progress doesn’t come from smashing yourself every session. It comes from consistency.
On fried days, showing up might look like:
Slightly lighter loads
Fewer sets
More movement quality, less grind
You still train. You still move forward. You still leave knowing you did the right thing.
That’s how you stack weeks, not just workouts.
This is where coaching actually matters
Good coaching isn’t shouting “push harder” no matter what.
It’s:
Reading how you’re moving
Listening when you say you’re cooked
Adjusting the plan on the day
Flying days? We lean into them. Fried days? We protect you and keep progress ticking.
Same destination. Smarter route.
No guilt. No ego. Just progress.
You don’t need to earn the right to train by feeling great. You don’t need to “make up” for a bad day.
You just need to show up.
We’ll handle the rest.
Because training that adapts to real life is the kind that actually works — long term.
