Brooks Performance - Average to Savage

Blokes who do nothing know why nothing’s changing. Dennis had been at it for years and doing more than most blokes his age, but the bits he wanted gone stayed exactly where they were.

Sixteen weeks on the Average to Savage method with a coach and a plan behind him, and he’s a different man. Just look at the before and afters!

My method works. If you want to know how it’d work for you, jump in my DMs. You’ll be talking to me, Rhys the human, not a chatbot, a setter, or a marketing machine.

The weekend has a habit of keeping receipts 😅

Over 35, used to train hard, can’t get back to it? Read on, then hit follow 🤜

Remember when you could train hard all week, go out on the p**s all weekend, and still back up Monday like nothing happened? Your body just did what you told it.

Then life piled on, the niggles crept in and training drifted.

Now you reckon you’ve got two choices. Flog yourself like you’re 21 and hope your knees and back hold up. Or pull right back and feel like you’ve gone backwards.

There’s a third choice.

A Rebuild.

If you want to get back to training hard, this is what you actually need to do:

✅ Strip it right back. Park the ego, you’re laying a base, not picking up where you left off 10 years ago.

✅ Even out your weak links. Left to right, front to back, small stabilisers against big prime movers. Those neglected bits are where your power leaks and things flare up.

✅ Get the joints moving properly again, then build strength through the full range, especially the end positions you’ve been working around.

✅ Build your engine back so you can handle real work and recover, session after session.

✅ Build core rigidity so your top half and bottom half work as one. A soft middle leaks force and makes heavy lifts feel shaky.

✅ And add load and exercise complexity progressively, until heavy barbell work feels solid, not risky.

Follow a system built like this and the stuff you’ve wanted for years just turns up.

You move better, the gut goes, the muscle comes back, you start looking like a bloke who actually trains. Strong AF, with the confidence to match.
