From Stiff & Fragile Shoulders… to Benching 100kg & Training without Limits

There’s ONE thing I hear on almost every strategy call:

“Physio didn’t get me where I needed to be”

 

Here’s how it usually goes:

 

You hit a setback…
You see a physio or maybe two or three…
You get some relief…
But when you return to training?

 

The same issues come straight back.

 

You’re left unsure who to trust, unsure what to do next, and gradually losing confidence in your body.

 

Kieran had this exact story.

Meet Kieran

A well-known UK business owner who trained hard, loved the gym, and pushed himself — until his shoulder started holding him back for almost 3 years.

 

He wanted to:

Train hard
Enjoy his workouts
Build muscle and strength

…but instead of moving toward those goals, he kept running into the same cycle:

 

  • setbacks

  • tightness

  • flare-ups

  • limitations in pressing

  • losing strength and momentum

 

Every time he thought he was making progress… something pulled him backwards.

 

By the time we spoke, he felt stuck between “doing nothing” and “doing more of the same thing that wasn’t helping.”

When We Started Working Together, Things Shifted

Here’s where the real change happened:

 

Kieran didn’t need more stretching.
He didn’t need more band drills.
He didn’t need more short-term relief.

 

He needed a system that rebuilt strength, control and confidence through the ranges he actually struggled with — and a plan that progressed him back into real training.

 

Within weeks, things started to feel different.

 

Within a couple of months, his training looked completely different.

 

He went from:

3 years of shoulder limitations
Missing sessions from flare-ups
Struggling with pressing
Losing strength

To:

Training with confidence again
Stronger in his presses than before
Moving freely without hesitation or fear of setbacks
Back to enjoying the gym and progressing like he used to

 

And yes — he’s been able to bench consistently for a long stretch now, exactly what he shared with his 213,000 followers.

 

Not by getting “fixed.”
Not by chasing symptoms.
But by rebuilding strength and control where he actually needed it.

“Benched for a year without issue”

 

How great is that?

 

The Big Point I Want to Share With You

Kieran didn’t get a “quick hit” of relief. He rebuilt the structure, strength and movement quality that let him train consistently again.

 

As a result?

 

  • His training became predictable again

  • His strength returned (and passed his old numbers)

  • He’s in the best shape he’s been in for years

  • And he’s stayed consistent for almost two years straight

 

We’re still working together now — not because he’s limited,
but because he’s progressing 👇

If Kieran’s story hits close to home…
read this part carefully:

If you’ve spent months (or years) trying rest, stretching, rehab drills or physio…

 

…and you’re still stuck…

 

…it’s not because you’re “broken.”

 

It’s because you haven’t had a plan that:

 

  • rebuilds strength in the positions you actually struggle with

  • aligns movements to your structure

  • progresses you logically from limited → strong → confident

  • removes hesitation around training

  • supports long-term consistency

 

If that’s what you want…
