My Story

Hi!

Im Hossein, but you can call me Hoss. That's been my nickname since I can remember.

So what is H.K.ACoaching all about?

I believe health & fitness is a lifestyle. Your goals shouldn't be seen as short term fix or a burden. I always aim to create a plan that fits within and adds to your quality of life!

Unfortunately there is so much conflicting information when it comes to health & fitness and so many coaches & gurus claim to have the secret to fat loss or muscle gain. It is possible to get extreme results in a relatively short space of time, but these results are not sustainable and more often than not, the weight and bad habits come straight back -with interest!

The truth is, I'm not promising you extreme results in 6 or 12 weeks. I want to build a solid coach-client relationship where I get to know you. Together, we will delve into why previous attempts at reaching your weight loss or fitness goals have failed. What have been the barriers? How can we make these goals fit within your life?

One size does not fit all when it comes to health & fitness. Ultimately that's the beauty of it. We all come from different walks of life and face our own unique challenges. In order to make fitness work for you, we implement small consistent changes over time that you can stick to without it feeling like it is a chore or a burden.

I truly believe that anyone can achieve a fitter, healthier, happier version of themselves with the right support and guidance (this is where I come in!).

Are you ready to take the first step towards that change?

Drop me an enquiry using the button at the bottom of my website and let's embark on this fitness journey together!

My Life

MY STORY

For as long as I can remember, I struggled with my confidence and self-esteem. I worked a regular 9-5 job for the majority of my teenage life and twenties, always feeling unhappy within myself and dissatisfied about how my life had panned out.

Like many people, a bad breakup made me feel like I needed to put on some muscle and lose fat so I could show them that I was worth something. Of course, in hindsight the motivation for starting my fitness journey sounds pathetic when I mention it now, but often the best things that happen to us in life come from the most unlikely of places.

Fitness has since become something else entirely for me and has changed my life in so many ways. I've now made it mission to help others benefit from this way of life too!

300kg x 1 BIG Deadlift PB‼️🚨

Well that was anticlimactic! 😂 Never thought the “scary” 7 plates I’ve wanted for so long was going to move that easy. I was tempted to go for a 2nd rep but told myself not be greedy at the last second. 🤦🏻‍♂️😅

Based on how it felt and looked, I definitely think I’m good for 305-310kg before this growing phase is over.

We’ll find out soon enough! 🫡🙏🏽

220kg x 1, 200kg x 3 (Paused), 180kg x 6 (Paused) BIG Squat PBs‼️🚨

Head nearly exploded, but I was determined to finish the rep! 🤯 Everything was moving fast on the warm ups so had to at least give 5 plates a try.

Ive been gunning for it for a while but did not want to sacrifice depth to get there!☝🏽

Next stop, 230kg and then were taking 240kg. 🫡

290kg x 2 Reps BIG Deadlift PB‼️🚨

Came for a single and took a double….again! 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

Don’t want to jinx it but I think the ever elusive 300kg is probably there and maybe a little more to be honest.

I’ve spent so long fantasising about 7 plates and now that I know it’s there for the taking, I’m setting my sights on at least 320kg in the next couple of years. 🙏🏽💪🏽🫡

175kg x 1, 155kg x 3, 135kg x 5 reps - Paused Front Squat BIG PB🚨‼️

It’s been a long hard road with the progressions on this lift. Constantly critiquing and refining, so I’m really chuffed with these 3 sets. 🙏🏽

Would like to slow the tempo a tad more on the heavier sets, but that’s just the perfectionist in me. Other than that, every rep is well controlled with a good pause. 👍🏽

I’ll be honest, until now I thought a 180kg front squat was probably not on the cards for me anymore at the age of 36.

Once again, Im reminded of the importance of self belief and persistence.☝🏽

200kg, I’m coming for you! 😤🫡

270kg x 4 Reps big lifetime pb‼️🚨

Another week of ticking off as many boxes as possible and hell bent on keeping performance as high as possible! 💪🏽

It’s crucial to not get into a defeatist mindset when you’re heading into any phase, be it a cut or maintenance phase for example.

Go into every session aiming to progress and then if you’re just matching previous bests, then you can still take a win! We take everything we can! 🫡

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

If you’re interested in maximising your muscle gain, fat loss and want to avoid common mistakes drop me a DM 📩 for my Online Coaching and or Face to face personal training.

Week 4️⃣ of the maintenance phase complete! ☑️

Highest Off Season weight weight: 104kg
Current weight: Averaging between 100-101kg

Calories : 4600-4800kcals

Cardio: 3 x 10mins High Intensity on the Stairmaster.

The maintenance phase is an often overlooked and under-utilised portion of the improvement season. As such, a lot of people are shocked when they seemingly “lose all their gains” as they go from full blown bulk mode to cutting again.

The aim here is to:

1️⃣ Restore health markers & appetite from pushing PEDs (if enhanced) and food to new heights by pulling back food and PEDs to a baseline.

2️⃣ Alleviate the body of any niggles accumulated from training progressively heavier with more volume etc.

3️⃣ Solidify new muscle tissue whilst removing some of the more extreme elements of the growing phase.

4️⃣ Keep training intensity high and retain as much of the performance metrics as possible is also key 🔑 to preserving muscle!

That’s why I very much advocate the “what built the muscle will keep the muscle” train of thought. 💯 💪🏽

102.kg Strict Overhead Press big lifetime PB‼️🚨

Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be able to Strict Overhead Press two plates.

When the day finally arrived, 100kg flew, so ended up taking 102.5kg instead! 🤷🏻‍♂️💪🏽

One thing I always say to clients is that in order to conquer the number you have in your mind, you have to be disciplined enough to stay away from it for a good while and build reps between 70-90%.

If you follow this guideline, 9 times out of 10 you’ll surpass it and it’s on to the next!

With that being said, 120kg. I’m coming for you! 🫣🫢🫡🙏🏽

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

As well as online coaching, I will be offering face to face personal training in Manchester over the coming weeks so drop me a message and let’s get started! 💪🏽

280kg x 2 reps Big lifetime Deadlift PB‼️🚨

Came for a single and took a double! 😅🤷🏻‍♂️ It was only right to break new ground as I was closing in on the end of the growing phase.

Before this, I’d only attempted 280kg once and failed it. So to get 2 reps made it that much sweeter.

Week 1️⃣ of the maintenance phase is complete in the form of a deload and man-flu! 🙃😅 Now that’s behind me, I can focus on solidifying these gains before I go again. 🫡💪🏽

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

As well as online coaching, I will be offering face to face personal training in Manchester over the coming weeks so drop me a message and let’s get started! 💪🏽

Week 2️⃣1️⃣ of the off season complete! ✅

Starting weight: 97.3kg
Highest weight: 103.7kg

Calories : 5400kcals

Cardio: 3 x 16mins High Intensity on the Stairmaster.

Another 4 weeks of this growing phase ticked off and it’s been extremely productive, hitting all time best PBs across the majority of my lifts.

The off season/ growing phase is the most important and challenging part of bodybuilding for me. Fatigue and food are high, appetite is low and body is battered. Fun times! 😆😅

Nonetheless, I continue to fill the gaps and I’m determined to finish strong. 🙏🏽🫡💪🏽

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

95kg x 2 Reps Strict Overhead Press Big PB ‼️🚨

Would have liked 3 reps but I’m just being greedy! 😅 Pressing strength has improved massively during this growing phase so can’t complain.

Will continue to increase reps until I can dominate 100kg. 🫡 It’s only a matter of time.🙏🏽

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

Week 1️⃣7️⃣ of the off season complete! ✅

Starting weight: 97.3kg
Highest weight: 102.5kg

Calories : 5k- 5200kcals

Cardio: 3 x 20mins on the Stairmaster per week.

Although the last few months have been filled with up and downs, injuries, set backs etc, this is by far the most productive off season I’ve ever had. 🙏🏽

I’m also the heaviest I’ve ever been at this shape and composition and strength is on the up and 🆙 so can’t complain.

Just finishing up a deload week to freshen me up for the final 6-8 week training block for this growing phase! 🫡💪🏽

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

260kg x 5 Reps big lifetime PR‼️🚨

I remember failing 260kg multiple times a couple of years ago, so I’m extremely happy with how my Deadlift progression is coming along. 🙏🏽

Especially as I’m still recovering from a bicep tear. It’s always an educated risk I take as I’m warming up during my sets. If I feel anything funky on the tendon, I knock it on its head and live to fight another day.

I think as athletes it’s important to be able to auto-regulate, make these kind of decisions in real time and assess risk vs reward.

In this case, the risk was very much worth the reward! 💪🏽😬

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

200kg x 6 Reps big Hack Squat PB‼️🚨

This was followed by a drop set of 160kg x 9 reps. Pretty much made linear progress on this movement every quad-focused session so cannot complain! 😅

The depth on these is ass to grass so happy with that, but would like to slow the eccentric down a bit more and make sure I’m pausing in the hole longer too.

I’d like to work my way up to 5 plates with better form and similar reps, so let’s get to work! 🙏🏽

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

My favourite look from 2023 📂🗃️

Always refreshing to look back on old check in photos when I can finally appreciate that I didn’t look all that bad 😅

Considering I needed a good 2-5kg previously to be competitive, now that the Classic weight cap for my height has gone up by nearly 2kg, I have even more work to do!

I’m up for the challenge! 💪🏽🫡

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

90kg x 4 Reps Strict Overhead Press‼️🚨

Pretty happy with the overall progress on this movement as 90kg is now a weight I can get reps with certainty. The goal here is to slowly build up to 8+ reps and close in on that ever elusive 100kg.

💡Bonus Tip: If you’re looking to improve your Bench, a vertical pressing movement like this, as well as an incline press are excellent accessories.
Creating difficulty from different angles will in turn making you stronger once in a horizontal position like the Flat Bench Press! 🤌🏽💪🏽

Week 2️⃣ of the Growing phase complete! ✅

Starting weight: 97.3kg
Current weight: 98.3kg

Calories : 3800kcals

PEDs: Test 330, Mast 360

Ancillaries: 5mg Nebivolol for BP & Heart rate (As Needed), 5mg Ezetimibe/ Rosuvastatin Combo for Cholesterol Control (Mon, Weds, Fri) 12.5mg Aromasin (as needed, only if estrogenic side effects start to cause issues.

Cardio: 3 x 30 mins on the Stairmaster per week.

I’m notoriously bad at posting physique updates during the off season as I usually feel like Im too fat and nobody wants to see my flabby physique. 😅

However, I am making a conscious effort to overcome my insecurities bit by it bit and share more of the less pretty sides of bodybuilding.

In any case, I was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t hate these progress pics after taking them! 😆

Appetite is still in decent place and training performance is improving modestly week on week, so all positive so far!

On to the next! 🫡💪🏽

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

260kg x 4 Reps Big PB‼️🚨

First week of the off season completed and hit a lifetime PR straight out the gate! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Although I was at least matching numbers and even taking small progressions post deload, I was still feeling the effects of being untrained and wasn’t completely happy with my execution of some of the movements.

One of the main aims this off season is to not let my form deteriorate too much as load and bodyweight increases. 🙏🏽☝🏽

Great start! Let’s keep it going! 🫡💪🏽

13 Years of being too stubborn to stop!

80kg ➡️ 93kg

Skinny-fat natty to 3 weeks out of my 4th contest prep and definitely not natty 😅

I find it absolutely mind boggling when I now get told I’m lucky because I have good genetics! 🤷🏻‍♂️

The words ‘luck’ and ‘genetics’ aren’t even in my vocabulary! 🤣

There is no luck. Just opportunity. There’s always someone who has an advantage over you if you’re blind to the gifts and opportunities that most of us are blessed with.

Contrary to what you might think, I was never the popular, confident kid, the athlete or the one who was in shape. I was ridiculed and made fun of by those closest to me. Even after a few years of training, friends and family would routinely tell me it was admirable that I kept going even though it was clear I didn’t have the genetics to build a decent physique.

Now I get the same reaction when I tell people my goals in bodybuilding.

Imagine if the kid on the left had listened to all the people who said the person on the right was not possible.

A firm reminder that IT IS possible. It’s just a matter of time.

I’m not done yet. In fact, I’m just getting started. 🫡💪🏽

Discovered this beautiful maze in the gardens at Chatsworth house near Bakewell (Home of the bakewell tart! 🍒 I am now 60% jam & marzipan😋🐷)

Lots of rest, steps and thnackths during this deload before the start of the growing phase!

Obviously rest is a priority, but even when deloading it’s a good idea not to turn into a couch potato 🥔 and keep it moving.

One more day and it’s time to grow! 🙏🏽😬

Halfway through the deload before the big push‼️

I like to use these periods of rest and recovery to look at how things have been shaping up in the previous phase, critiquing my form and analysing variables such as training performance, volume, fatigue and caloric intake to make sure I’m in the best possible position for the next phase.

180kg x 4 reps with the new form is not too shabby, closing in on 10-20kg increase in a similar rep range as before. 👌🏽

That being said, it can still be better. 🫡
During this next phase, I’d like to: 1️⃣ Slow the eccentric down more 2️⃣ Get even deeper and 3️⃣ Pause longer in the hole.

Of course, it’s not going be perfect, but it’s important to give ourselves a standard to adhere to before adding more weight to the bar. That way can ensure safer execution and will get more out of the lift for the development of our physique!

Lots to work on, exciting times ahead! 🙏🏽💪🏽

240kg x 8 reps Deadlift‼️

It’s not a PB but still very happy matching an all time best during this maintenance/ potentiation phase 6 weeks post contest prep.

Although I’m due a deload in the next couple of weeks, I’m pleasantly surprised at how well I’ve managed fatigue recently, finding 1 all out working set on the big compounds to be just about enough in terms of the stimulus to fatigue ratio that I can recover from and continue to progress week on week.👌🏽

Excited to see where my numbers will end up on the Deadlift considering this is the baseline before I start pushing. 😬

One from the prep files. 📂🗄️

I’ve been a bit quiet on here since pulling the plug on this years contest prep. In all honesty, it’s been difficult coming to terms with my decision. Initially, I was embarrassed and ashamed, feeling like I had failed to live up to my ‘by any means necessary’, ‘no excuses’ attitude and vowing to finish the job.

Even though I was on track to bringing my best look to date, ultimately I’m at ease with my decision especially since as competitors we don’t talk about the ramifications of contest prep enough.

Having struggled with self-esteem and confidence issues since my teens, bodybuilding has saved my life many times over, but I can’t overlook the fact that it’s been both a gift and a curse.

We routinely pick our physiques apart, identifying “weaknesses” and formulating a plan to fix them. With this comes a plethora of new insecurities and a completely different level of body dysmorphia. Not to mention constantly tapping into that fight or flight response during training to take our physique to new heights, as well as the addition of PEDs, both of which can wreak havoc on the mental health of even the most levelheaded individuals. These put an immense strain on our relationships with our significant other, friends and family.

As with any endeavour, extraordinary achievements require extraordinary sacrifice. I still believe this wholeheartedly. However, there is a time and place for executing the full extent of such a plan and not at the expense of all the other important things in our lives.

Im still all in. Still working towards the dream. Im not done yet. 🙏🏽🫡

#PROGRESSNOTPERFECTION

Strict Overhead Press 82.5kg x 7 reps, Big PB‼️🚨

In my opinion, this is one of the most overlooked and underutilised movements we have in our arsenal. This exercise requires a significant amount of stability throughout the posterior chain, core and even glutes, and quads. As such, it’s extremely difficult to execute correctly and make progress on.

There’s a strong argument to be made that it favours raw stimulus over specificity and accuracy of hitting the target muscles as well as a high fatigue cost.

However, as with the other compounds, when used intelligently, the benefits in terms of teaching physique/ strength athletes how to find that next ‘gear’ so to speak and learn to tap into those higher levels of intensity over time is invaluable.

It goes without saying that we must hit the delts from multiple angles and various rep ranges, but I believe utilising an overhead press variation is an essential tool for building boulder shoulders!
