  • This week is my max testing week. Its been successful so far, 165kg squat, and 130kg on bench. I’ll be trying for 200kg on deadies either tonight or tomorrow.

    I had a significant back injury at the end of 2022, which basically reset my progress. Took all of 2023 to get back to where I was, and now I’ve just hit some new PBs. I might start competing again this year but I’m enjoying the progression without the added stress of needing to compete.







  • I got up to a pack a day when I decided to quit. The biggest thing that helped me quit was getting an app on my phone which tracked the cost and how many you’re smoking. When you start reducing the amount smoked etc it tracked how much money you’ve saved, how much healthier your lungs are (lung capacity etc), how much more time you’ve added to your life expectency, all that sorta stuff.

    Having numbers and stats to track, made it feel more tangible and felt like I was making actual progress towards something.

    Its worth a shot.
