Easter Update - 5 weeks out

How's everyones Easter weekend gone? Have you trained? Rested? Spent time with friends and family? Ate until your stuffed? Well I've done all of them and had an amazing weekend.

I headed down to Wales to surprise Bleddyn Escott for his birthday along with a few other friends, we went out for a bite to eat, had a top laugh then hit the gym early Easter Sunday for a Chest and Tris workout. I personally was feeling pretty flat and towards the end of last week but just being around like minded people with the same passion has really lit the fire inside me again for my show. So a huge thanks to everyone for that and a big thanks to Charlotte for arranging the weekend and putting us all up for the night.

Happy birthday Bled

5 weeks out after hitting a PB on incline dumbbell press, very happy considering I'm dieting down and not far out from my show.

And finally I just wanted to share my new YouTube Channel: AestheticLifestyle. I managed to film my chest and tris workout from the weekend and I'll be posting it soon along with updates about my show, training, nutrition and vlogs. In the mean time here's my intro for the channel and for all my up and coming videos. Please comment below, on the video, on Facebook or Twitter to let me know what types of videos you'd like to see on the channel.

The secret is keeping busy, and loving what you do.

After 3 weeks of being ill (and no it wasn't Man Flu), I'm back to 100% and just in time too, as I have a very busy week ahead of me.

Firstly I'm back in the gym trying out the Y3T program as well as starting a new diet aiming for lean gains. I'll touch back on this later in the week where I'll write up my full training program and diet over on the training page.

As for the rest of the week, I arrived home tonight after a gruelling legs session to find my new vests have been delivered. Now I just need to source a good quality printer to brand the vests with my logo and new web address (any recommendations?).

Here's the artwork for the vests -

What do you think?

On Thursday I've been invited to the Carat Blog Shop Event for Sports, Fitness and Nutrition bloggers. The evening will include presentations and Q&A sessions with media experts and brands. I'll also have the chance to network with likeminded people, discussing different tips and tools on how to enhance my blog. 

For anyone else who'd be interested in the event here's the link to register - Carat Blog Shop Event

And finally this weekend I'll be heading over to the Sportex Festival in Manchester. Which is across both days (20th & 21st October) and will host the UKBFF British Championships and the IFBB British Grand Prix as well as other sports such as MMA, Judo, Strongman, Football and Badminton. I only have tickets for Saturday so if anyone spots me at the expo, come say hello!  

Aesthetic Lifestyles New logo

As promised, new things are happening with the blog. The biggest is taking it form just a blog to launching a web site (www.AestheticLifestyle.co.uk) which I have bought, registered and in the process of putting my graphic design degree to good use and creating the site.

The first and most important thing was creating a corporate identity and after hours of sketching various logo ideas, I'd narrowed it down to a few that I would incorporate into a vector image. After tweaking the colours and layout (and asking peoples opinions) I finally have the official Aesthetic Lifestyle logo to show you all.

I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on the logo, constructive criticism is always good and never taken to heart.

Keep an eye out over the weekend as I'll be posting a new article on how I prep my food for the week, I've had a few emails and tweets from college/university students and people with busy jobs who want to know how I go about all my meals and structuring my day.

Thanks
