You helped me to regain a confidence in my strength that has been somewhat absent for three years. The key aspect here (for me) is the mental game: the absolute confidence I placed in you, and the programme to facilitate a slow accretion of strength, form and loading.

The “test week” arrived … and I made the lifts, and moreover I realise now that Nigel’s patience and the programme he wrote for me has ticked all the boxes, and one extra … as an “older” chap (55 years) I’ve regained confidence that I can make those big lifts that would put some chaps, half my age, to shame.

For me, then, as an older lifter with a tonne of experience (and a couple of tonnes of learned habits, not all good) – being accountable, doing the work, and trusting the programme translates into self-confidence, which translates into performance.”
