How many days a week are you in the gym?
I work 5 days (Monday - Friday) and train on Saturday. So a total of 6 days!
What's your workout song?
Loving a bit of 'Your Mind' - Adam Beyer
Do you use any fitness apps regularly and is there anything you'd recommend?
I use and ask my clients to use my fitness pal! I have my own app coming out very soon too! It will give video demos with voice over coaching cues from myself to help people improve their form and technique! It will be called "JCC: Video Exercise Library"
How has your gym routine changed from 5 years ago?
Definitely varying rep ranges! I used to do 3 sets of 8/10 or 12 on everything. But this is like passing an exam 100% and taking it again, and again!
Research will show that intensity grows muscle more than volume. So I usually only do 2 very good, hard sets. 1st set is a heavy 6-8 reps and the second is a back off set of 12-15 reps! This way you can hit both ends of the rep range spectrum in the one exercise and not waist energy on excessive volume. Less is more in this case.
What exercise do you wake up dreading?
Hack squat back off sets for 15 reps. Horrible stuff...
What's your favourite healthy meal?
I love a basic avocado, smoked eggs and smoked salmon brunch. Lots of "health" in there, but we need to be careful that healthy doesn't mean low calorie! Usually the exact opposite actually!
What's your cheat food?
Bunsen burger or an obscene amount of sushi.
