You might win some, you might lose some, but you must always do some.

Week 3 of a physical/mental hard reset. Mobility is starting to come back and stability is following. Moving house is a real stressor. It’s true what they say. But in the back pocket must always be a gym door.

I’m learning that not only is training non linear, but the patterns also change over time. Letting go of the athlete that I inhibited during covid has been tough. Mentally it’s been one of the hardest things to get through. But it wasn’t sustainable or balanced and it didn’t work for the life that I lead now.

Resetting is about finding what is sustainable to get yourself back to a place where you feel truly uncomfortable again. Because training should never be comfortable. Comfort doesn’t produce drive and without drive nothing can improve.

In all walks of life

If I could stop jumping forward and looping the barbell once in awhile, I might see improvement. It’s so easy to talk to yourself.

Nothing of the last few weeks/months has been consistent, fun or rewarding from a training perspective. But the feeling would be even worse if I wasn’t here at all.

Turn up in whatever capacity you have the will to. Time can be carved out. Even if it’s minuscule. Still counts 💪

50 bar on the snatch is a regular occurrence in training for me. If I could find the sleep to give me a shot at it… C&J is in a dark place right now. Got kicked off the rig half way through my primer on Friday, so today decided on snatchy singles and Double clean and Jerk after with a couple of dodgy singles thrown in. Singlet Sundays for me. Right now, it ain’t easy.

Still here 💪

20kg increase in total since 2023
7.5kg increase since Nov 23
7.5kg increase since March 24
5kg Today

Using this 3 point squat mantra every time I get into working sets post 90% 🤘

Owning the un-rack has been the single biggest factor in me overcoming fear in heavy squats. When I do this, I got this.

Absolutely love this Squat Program JUGGERNAUT STRENGTH from @fianna_weightliftingclub It’s a long 11 weeks with big RMs each week. A real mental and physical push.

Total volume: 28,467.5kg
Total Reps: 275
BW: 88.6kg

No celebrations. Too much room to improve. 🫡🫡🫡

Massive 10kg PB on the back Squat for an energised 3RM. Getting into a zone on squats is one of the happiest places anyone can be. Continuously improving baseline strength as I get older is incredibly satisfying, scientifically proven to prolong my life and just mentally stimulating.

Working sets x 3 reps up to 125kg
